Course programme

North American Broadcast Standard plus a couple of regional American accents. Knowledge of phonetics is ideal but not essential.

Detailed breakdown and analysis of the accents, including phonetics. Some prior knowledge of phonetics is therefore useful but not essential. The Dialect Coach will work with you on priority sounds, both as a group and individually. As part of the course content, your tutor may record your image for initial and ongoing assessment purposes. You are entitled to decline to participate in the recording of your image.
