Speech 3: Dialects

About this course

You will learn how to use IPA (The International Phonetic Alphabet), ear training and physical exploration in order to acquire and embody a variety of American and British dialects of English as well as foreign accents. You will notate and learn six monologues in dialect and perform them throughout the term. In addition, you will research the region specifics, social, cultural, and political characteristics of each region of study in order to have a broader understanding of the characters you are exploring in dialect. Finally, you will research a dialect or accent of your choice, create a dialect breakdown for the class and peer-teach at the end of the course.
