This step-by-step guide to learning and practising an American
accent is for anyone who wants to use a General American accent
with confidence in auditions and performance. Inside, you'll find
an easy-to-follow breakdown of the fundamentals required for the
accent - including the shape and position of the mouth; vowels and
consonants; rhythm; stressing; pitch; pace and more - as well as
structured drills and exercises to build on and consolidate what
you've learned, using extracts from contemporary American plays.
The book is supplemented by dozens of online audio clips of General
American voices, recorded by native speakers, so you can listen to
the target sounds and repeat for practice. Also included are tips
on fully integrating the accent into your performance, as well as a
series of vocal warm-ups. Rebecca Gausnell is a voice and dialect
coach, who has worked internationally in theatre, film and
television. Born and raised in the United States, she studied
acting in Chicago, before completing an MFA in Voice Studies in
London. The Compact Guides are pocket-sized introductions for
actors and theatremakers, each tackling a key topic in a clear and
comprehensive way. Written by industry professionals with extensive
hands-on experience of their subject, they provide you with maximum
information in minimum time.
