(Applause Acting Series). Widely recognized as the most complete
and rigorous text of its kind since it was first published in 1942,
Speak With Distinction is an invaluable resource. It presents a
comprehensive study of the sounds of Spoken English in their most
important phonetic environments. This most recent revision also
adds much material for comparisons of speech sounds; suggestions
for accurate, efficient and conversational ways of combining the
sounds into connected utterance; indications that foster a working
knowledge of two dialects of speech (General American and what Mrs.
Skinner called Good Speech for classic and elevated texts); and
beginning material to show application of the principles of Good
Speech to well-written texts. Some important additions to the book
are the extensive Glossary and Index, abundant guides to
pronunciations, new sections featuring such details as the complete
"Ask-List" of words, a program for the elimination of glottal
attacks of vowel and dipthong sounds, greatly expanded practice
material of phrases and sentences, and an updated Chart showing
several levels of phonetic transcription and spelling equivalents
in current usage. Speak With Distinction can be used in several
ways: as a primary educational textbook for both the beginning and
advanced actor; as a supplementary textbook for teachers and
students who have their own methods and agenda for study; and as a
reference book for teachers, speech coaches and directors.
