     12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Liverpool! A northern city and a dialect with rich history, charm, and wit. In this 1 hour online workshop we will explore the origins and culture of the Liverpool voice and where it sits in the Northern constellation of UK dialects, hear some fabulous voices from the past and from now, including a football star. We’ll encounter some key sound changes, explore what to do with final plosives (you know wha?), and play with our GOAT vowels and our GOOSE vowels and our NURSE vowels. A chance to work on your US accent with Paige Walker. Please note: 12pm is Australian Eastern Standard Time (Sydney/Melbourne time).
