Master Class

Dialects Master Class with Sasha Dobson

Join us for our final Zoom master class for students ages 11-18 of the season; an introduction to learning accents, led by Lied Center teaching artist Sasha Dobson. Students will be introduced to the generalized sound of 3 different dialects: American Southern soft R, Standard British, and German. This course will give students the tools to learn dialects deeply and properly, rather than mimicking, help them discover and develop how different sounds are created phonetically, learn the origins of each accent, build self-confidence, and work collaboratively with fellow actors. No preparation required – just a willingness to learn and try something new!

Participants will need a computer or tablet with a front facing camera and microphone.
