Do you worry about roles that have dialects? Increase your range as an actor…
This workshop is designed for actors and/or speakers who would like to improve their ability to eliminate the “southern” dialect and be able to pick up other dialects with ease. Students will learn the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is an alphabet of sounds. A knowledge of this system enables students to identify the sounds of different dialects, and to either eliminate or change dialects as needed for various roles. Students will learn the basics of how dialects work and will practice British, German, Italian, Indian, generic “New York” and Irish. Worksheets with the basics of all the dialects covered will be provided, as well as several additional dialects. A must-have for any serious acting student!

Broadway Bound
Auditions for Workshop's 2008-2009 Broadway Bound Musical Theatre Company (ages 5 to 18) will be held during four "Monday Masters" workshops this summer. These sessions will provide young performers with the chance to take "master classes" in dance for musical theatre, voice voice – and fun – with Dedra Daniels Mount, Lou Warth and Brian Scott Vaughan!
The sessions will be offered July 7, 14, 21 & 28.
Classes are open to all levels of experience and ability. No two sessions will be alike, so aspiring performers can sign up for one session – or all four – it’s up to you!
The schedule for each Monday will be: 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 (ages 7-11, $25); 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. (ages 5-6, $12); and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. (ages 12-18, $35). (While walk-ins are welcome, an additional $5 will be charged for participants who register on the day of the session.)
ReWired
Students in Grades 7-12 who wish to join the 2008-2009 edition of Workshop's improv comedy team have the opportunity to audition on two remaining Saturdays – May 10 and June 7 – from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The audition takes the form of "Make 'Em Laugh," a class that provides training in improv and sketch comedy. Cost for the workshop is $30.
Under the direction of Vicky Saye Henderson, the members of ReWired receive high-quality, intensive improv and sketch comedy training; participate in showcases at Workshop Theatre; perform for groups and festivals around the Midlands and statewide; and work on filmed sketches that can be shown on the “big screen.”
Workshop reserves the right to remove participants from any camps or classes due to behavior problems.
