Synopsis
- Characteristics: The most versatile and "neutral" of the RP shades, New RP lacks strong indicators of class or region. It serves as a modern, all-purpose accent that can adapt across various genres and time periods.
- Phonetics: Clear and phonetically detailed, it balances formal clarity with accessibility. It is commonly heard among mid-aged news broadcasters (BBC Radio 4, "The Today Programme") and public announcements (e.g., the London Tube).
- Usage: Ideal for classical theatre and contemporary works by playwrights like David Hare, Tom Stoppard, or Patrick Marber. It conveys professional neutrality rather than poshness, fitting characters with no overtly classed linguistic traits. Please note: This event will take place at 1-2pm AEDT (Sydney/Melb) and 3-4pm NZ time. You will be sent a Zoom link in advance.
