Are you a performer who has always wanted to learn a proper British accent? You're in luck!
In this 90 minute workshop, dialect coach and actress Gretchen McGinty will be teaching participants how to do the Standard British dialect! We will also learn a proper warm up for voice and speech before diving in to dialect work. We might even delve into a bit of Irish, if time allows!
All you need is a notepad, pen, and a penchant for slipping the letter 'u' into words like color and flavor.
Register soon! We will be limiting to 20 participants.
