In this hour-long workshop (based on Knight- Thomspon method and the book Speaking with Skill) we will begin with exploring lip, cheek and tongue gymnastics. This will lead into shaping vowels to give your ear and your mouth eight new reference points, radiating out from the neutral schwa in the centre. By exploring the most extreme vowel shapes you can provide your ear and mouth with a clearer sense of geography when listening to and learning the vowels of other accents. When it comes accent training, we are trying to train fine motor muscles. If you want to get the full range of work on accents these are skills you need to practice.
