Accent Clarity for Actors Course

Our Accent Clarity for Actors course has been designed for actors and performers who wish to develop a neutral English or New Standard English accent for performance.

The idea of portraying a neutral English accent for a part in an audition can be daunting for many, especially those that do not use English as their first language. In our voice and accent classes, you will work creatively and practically at mastering the basic characteristics of a New Standard English accent and applying these to text.
