Tuesday May 15th and Thursday May 17th

This week we finished up the Southern Dialect. Sounded pretty good everyone.

Our final will be on Tuesday, May 22nd from 11:50-1:50 in the theater. Please plan on staying the whole time.

For the final you need to choose the dialect you felt best at and memorize your lines from any of the scenes or monologues we did in class. Please don't bring in outside pieces, I've seen that it is best to work on something you have heard so you can get the correct sounds changes. (I'm going to be grading you on your sounds and volume, not your acting ability). After everyone performs their dialect pieces, there will be a short written final followed by a closing activity and discussion.

If you have extra credit or late work, it is all due on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend and see ya one last time on Tuesday!

Tuesday May 8th and Thursday May 10th

Today we jumped into the Southern Dialect y'all. Please listen to your cds, watch movies and work on this sound. Please finish the IPA on the 2 man scene and begin to do it on the scene that you will perform.

Have a lovely weekend.

Tuesday May 1st

Happy May Day!

Today was our final NYC day. Many of the performers sounded southern today. There is more mouth involvement, more pressure and forward placement in NYC, southern is lazy mouth....and speaking of Southern, we will jump in ya'all on Thursday.

Listen to your southern cds in preparation!
