About the Booklet and CD:

Dialects and Accents for Actors, Storytellers and more....

Dialects can instantly transform you into another person by affecting the very essence of who you are in the world – your speech. Dialects, for many actors, are enjoyable, useful tools. Arabic is a self-instructional program in the Acting With An Accent series prepared by a speech teacher and dialect coach to the stars, Dr. David Alan Stern. He doesn't use "tricks." Instead he teaches the basics of convincing dialects – resonance, lilt, sound substitutions and pace. He explains pronunciations, word choice and touches on idioms.

Arabic is not just samples for imitation, but contains step-by-step, systematic lessons to learn to the accent of an Arabic language native who now speaks English as a second language. Denotes the slight difference between speakers from North African countries like Egypt and Libya and those from the Persian Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Each packet contains a manual on CD and an hour-long instructional compact disc that teaches you Lilt, Stress, Resonance and Pronunciation.

Dr. David Stern is a master dialectician and teacher of film and TV actors. He has taught at several universities and at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His Acting With An Accent compact discs are used in over 1000 university theatre programs and by professional actors around the world.
