Information:
Standard American Dialect Seminar
With David LeReaney

Tuesday May 24, 7:00 – 10:00pm


HELL ON WHEELS goes to camera in mid-May! Don’t lose the part because you sound too “Canadian”
American TV & Film producers hear our Canadian dialect more acutely than we do.

It IS an issue for many of them

For a minor investment of time and money you can learn the differences between the way Canadians and Americans handle dialogue, and how to adopt the sound of AMERICANESE for auditions and on-camera or microphone performance.


3 HOUR SEMINAR includes:
- Lecture/demo on the sound of Americanese
- Comprehensive notes and list of over 85 words, phrases and sounds (including CD)
- Work session with TV and film scripts


HUNDREDS OF ACTORS AND VOICE ARTISTS HAVE TAKEN THIS COURSE IN CALGARY, REGINA, SASKATOON AND EDMONTON
Thank you for the splendid workshop...It was invaluable.. - Kathi Kerbes
It was so informative and I finally was able to hear the difference in the US sound that I knew existed
but couldn’t execute before this. - Peggy Adams
I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent workshop...your notes and tape are a terrific resource.” Marrianne Woods.
