British Accent & Dialect Class with Coach, Paula Vanlandingham
Platinum membership includes access to a monthly dialect and accent classes for actors!
Have you turned down an audition or not submitted for a role because you didn’t feel confident with the accent it required?
Let’s fix that ASAP!
I want you to book work and be able to embrace each and every opportunity that comes your way. Starting in December you can attend accent training EVERY month at ActorPlaybook.
Dialect coach, Paula Vanlandingham, teaches accent, dialect and language training for actors in film, television, gaming, and digital media. Paula teaches over 50 world accents and regional dialects. She also speaks 5 languages!
This month’s course focus will be the ACCENTS OF ENGLAND, specifically
- The “received pronunciation” or “Oxford/upper class” accent of London
- “Cockney” (the working class dialect also known as the “Estuary” accent
- The northern accents from Manchester to Yorkshire
We will cover the essential sound sets in the first class, then come back for the second session to put what you’ve learned into practice with real scenes (readings, not memorized). There will be lots of detailed information on geography and socio-cultural elements of these accents!
Paula studied acting at the University of Missouri, then at the Lee Strasberg Institute of New York.
She was trained in language acquisition methods by the Berlitz Institute in Rockefeller Center and has a Master’s degree in linguistic anthropology.
Paula teaches 50 accents and speaks Spanish, German, Bosnian, Russian, French (plus a little Italian, Japanese and Arabic).
