Acting : Elocution/Accent Reduction Course by Barbara Rita Barbieri

Hi All my Stage 32 Friends!! I would like to introduce the below mentioned course to which i have had numerous success stories, so if you or your colleagues would be interested here is a small idea of what the course entails: I devised the Accent Reduction Course, also known as elocution or accent modification, this is a systematic approach used to learn how to reduce your current accent(collard, African, Afrikaans, European etc. It is the process of learning the sound system (or phonology) of a language or dialect. The methodology involves several steps, which include identifying deviations in the person's current speech from the desired accent (such as pronunciation, speech patterns, and speech habits), changing the way one uses the mouth, teeth, and tongue to form vowel and consonant sounds, modifying one's intonation and stress patterns, and changing one's rhythm. Using this method, individuals trying to help their communication; will learn how to alter their speech to more closely resemble the accent of a neutral English commonly used in SA and abroad, thus enhancing the clarity of their communication within the workplace.
