How to do Accents by Eda Sharpe
By breaking accents down into the 'foundations', 'major players', 'vowel shapes' and 'the groove', and by using the accompanying CD, the reader is led through a step by step simple but detailed process, helping them to understand their own accent, compare it to the new, and develop the flexibility to produce new sounds and authentic new accents. "How to Do Accents" comes with a CD with a variety of sample speakers and example sounds. The CD includes genuine and detailed recordings of the following accents: RP; American; Scotland/Glasgow; Northern Ireland/Belfast; Southern Ireland/Cork; South Wales/Swansea; Newcastle-upon-Tyne; Manchester; Liverpool; West Midlands; London/Cockney; and, London/Contemporary. The book is accessible and comprehensive, and is sure to become the essential tool for professional actors, drama students and amateurs alike.
