Traditional speech work has long favored an upper-class white
accent as the model of intelligibility. Because of that,
generations of actors have felt disconnected from their own
identities and acting choices. This much-needed textbook redresses
that trend and encourages actors to achieve intelligibility through
rigorous language analysis and an exploration of their own accent
and articulation practices. Following an acting class model, where
you first analyze the script then reveal yourself through it, this
work breaks down a process for analyzing language in a way that
excites the imagination. Guiding the student through the labyrinth
of abstract concepts and terms, readers are delivered into the
practicality of exercises and explorations, giving them
self-awareness that enables them to make their own speech come
alive. Informed throughout by notes from the author's own extensive
experience working with directors and acting teachers, this book
serves as an ideal speech-training resource for the 21st -century
actor, and includes specially commissioned online videos
demonstrating key exercises.
