Using the International Phonetic Alphabet for Accent Coaching!
Wednesday 11th June 2025, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (London Time)
Hosted by our very own Louisa Morgan, this session will provide a deeper dive into the methods of delivery of IPA in accent coaching. Here, there will be a more focused scope on the variety of pathways for students looking to learn an accent with IPA. Louisa will allow time to explore the limitations, practical considerations & benefits of each method, at an intermediate level. This exploration of IPA methods beyond the elementary level will allow for a much richer toolkit for you to take with you into all manner of actor training environments.

Doubles and Stacks, Reverbs and Effects: Teaching Vocal Production Skills
Kelly Hoppenjans
Vocal production, or the process of recording a voice, is a multifaceted practice requiring a diverse set of skills. It has traditionally been considered the role of the producer in a recording studio, and vocalists can often feel intimidated by learning complex technical skills or prohibited by the cost of recording equipment. This course is aimed at voice coaches and vocalists who want to learn to record and shape their vocal tracks, as well as how to teach these skills to voice students. No matter your technical experience or setup, you can record great-sounding vocals!
