    About this ebook

    This unique book offers a complete course in how to do any accent and also gives you the tools to navigate your way through a specific accent. Using solid technical know-how, clear practical steps, real-life examples, and the occasional dose of humour, the Haydn/Sharpe System brings to the surface the underlying structure of accents. The authors share the processes that they, as specialist dialect coaches, have developed, to give you the insight, tools and confidence to work with accents.

    Norfolk (NEW), Yorkshire (NEW), Standard Canadian (NEW), Standard Australian (NEW) , Standard American, Northern Irish (Belfast) , Southern Irish (Cork), Scottish (Glasgow) , Newcastle, Manchester , Liverpool , South Wales (Swansea) , West Midlands (Walsall), Cockney, Neutral Standard English, Contemporary ‘Street’ London (NEW), Cornish (NEW)
