About this course
The course examines the features of New Standard English, including sound placement, rhythm, facial movement, tongue position, mouth shape and vowel length. Participants use targeted articulation exercises to work on speech clarity, vowel and consonant precision, and intonation patterns. Teaching takes place in a group setting and applies accent techniques to scripts, monologues and other performance texts. Learners also identify personal speech habits and receive personalised feedback while practising ways to continue their accent training independently.
