Overview
The incisive, succinct introduction to studying any accent is useful
above and beyond the specific details of the accents covered here. The
book provides a wealth of references to films where the reader can
listen to authentic examples of the accents, and information as to what
roles require the accents. There are extensive practice exercises, all
recorded on the accompanying CD, as well as a selection of monologues
and scenes. All of this makes the book not only a perfect guide for the
young acting student but also an authoritative reference for more
experienced actors and for speakers of all levels.
