Discover a multi-sensorial approach that you can use towards learning any dialect. This class will explore the Northern-Irish dialect of the region of Derry, made popular by Derry Girls. Through the study of IPA; intensive focused listening to various primary sources; and proprioceptive training and awareness of the tongue, lips, jaw, and vocal tract; students will learn the Northern Irish Dialect, and apply that learning to scenes and monologues.
Classes for any level are open to everyone!
