Presented by Jeffrey Parker

In this workshop, participants will learn the accent acquisition techniques of Knight-Thompson Speechwork: a focused, tactile, creative approach that helps students find and master their vocal tract configurations. In this participatory workshop, students will learn how to find accent samples, how to listen for maximum effectiveness, and also learn how to apply these skills to two British accents: Received Pronunciation and Cockney.
