Need to learn how to do a Standard British accent? Let us help.
The Standard British Accent (known as ‘Received Pronunciation‘) is the most commonly required accent of actors worldwide. And yet many actors resort to an accent that is generic, mediocre, or inaccurate.
The Complete Guide to the Standard British Accent is a downloadable tutorial that teaches you how to do a Standard British accent with total accuracy.
- Stand out at open calls and auditions: be the actor who has an accent ready before they audition, not the one who has to learn it in rehearsal.
- Don’t miss any more auditions because you didn’t have time to brush up on your accent: With this tutorial, you’ll learn how to call on this accent in any situation.
- Speak with complete confidence. Have time to focus on your character, rather than how ‘correct’ you sound.
With this tutorial, we recreate the experience of having an actual dialect coach at your side. With a comprehensive 48-page manual and a 31-track audio recording that meticulously breaks down each detail of British Received Pronunciation, you’ll learn an invaluable skill you can use for the rest of your career.
