About the Booklet and CD:
Dialects and Accents for Actors, Storytellers and more....
Mastering different accents and dialects can provide a huge advantage to
your career. 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. Norwegian and Swedish 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.
Norwegian and Swedish is not just samples for imitation, but contains step-by-step, systematic lessons to learn the accent of a Norwegian or Swedish language native who now speaks English as a second language, both with and without the heavy, sing-song lilts that sometimes occur in the northern parts of these countries. However, Finnish and Danish are in no way similar to Norwegian and Swedish and are not covered on this compact disc. Some Finnish accents can be faked by using a "soft" Russian accent. Each packet contains a manual on CD (as PDF file) 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.
