“Flloyd is an excellent teacher and she has encouraged me to have the confidence to find my own voice. She has also taught me to not be too hard on myself during my vocal journey. As someone who was made fun of for my voice when I was growing up, Flloyd has made me realise that there is no such thing as “a bad voice” and for that, I am truly grateful. Being taught by Flloyd is not only educational, but it is also a fun experience!” Natasha Langridge-Thorpe
How to Acquire An(other) Accent
Practical and rigorous training for actors, voice/speech teachers, public speakers, broadcasters – and anyone interested in the value of clear speech in any accent. This is an introduction to Knight Thompson Speechworks, a skills-based approach to speech and accent training now being used in a number of US professional training programs and college theatre departments, as well as in clinical and ESL settings.
We explore the physical actions that produce all the sounds of the world’s languages; look at the muscles that engage in the act of articulating speech sounds, and experiment with the process of acquiring accents other than our own ‘home’ accent.
The aim of this workshop is to
– set up the principles of clear speech
– discover how these principles apply to acquiring accents (or modifying one’s own accent)
