Description and Table of Contents
Description
* Only covers the vowels and consonants that English speakers struggle to perfect in GenAm * There is a trend of English and Australian actors using American accents on screen and on stage. * The majority of accent reduction texts on the market are intended for ESL speakers who simply need to be understood in English. This leaves native English-speaking actors with superfluous material that is far too broad and does not address the finer points of what they need to perfect.
