Invaluable as a course textbook or individual actor’s use, The Dialect Handbook is the only text of its kind. It offers a clear step-by-step process for creating a believable dialect role, from pre-auditions, through character research, through rehearsals and polishing the performance. This approach to learning dialects shows you how to study the culture of a people, so that you understand not merely how to do the sounds of the dialect, but WHY the person speaks the way they do. Research includes the body language, gestures, dance, and music of a culture. This book has proven highly effective as a course textbook around the world.
The book features:
“The Dialect Directory,” listing hundreds of feature films, TV series, documentaries, and audio tapes for your research of over 35 different dialects. It also lists books about each culture, and foreign dictionaries.
Also a complete Bibliography of Resources about dialect acquisition, with descriptions of each of the dialect books and tapes, with tips on how to use them and where to find them.
Ginny Kopf has designed a program for anyone who wants to improve the clarity and fluency of their American speech, for your most professional image. In each exercise, Ginny demonstrates the words and sentences several times, gives coached instructions, and then leaves a space for you to repeat the phrase.
The accompanying 63-page book helps you to follow along, as well as offering additional instruction. The first section of the book is a "Quick Guide to Using the Accent Reduction Workshop," in which she gives you suggestions on what parts of the audio recorded drills you should focus on, according to your native language or American regionalism.
A 40-minute CD to help those with a hissing lisp find their best “s.” There are dozens of drills along with coaching that makes tongue placement clear, and encourages the speaker that they really can “get the hiss out” of their speech.
