An Introduction to Knight-Thompson Speechwork
Wednesday 5th August 2020, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This two-hour workshop is an introduction to Knight-Thompson Speechwork (KTS), which is a leading voice, speech, and accent training methodology in theatre conservatories worldwide.
In addition to a discussion on teaching practices, the workshop will include several short, playful KTS games and exercises.
Participants will gain a greater physical awareness of the human vocal tract and gain basic speech tools that (with continued practice and development) can eventually lead to mastering any speech skill and acquiring any accent needed for performance.
