Experiencing Speech #44 Online
Experiencing Speech #44 Online
Experiencing Speech is the introductory Knight-Thompson Speechwork workshop, and is designed for actors, voice/speech teachers, clinicians, and coaches. A six-day intensive, Experiencing Speech delves deeply into the work laid out in Dudley Knight’s Speaking with Skill and Caban's/Foh's/Parker's Experiencing Speech. The workshop is structured in two parts. The first three days focus on the physical actions that produce all the sounds of the world’s languages. (This section contains no phonetic transcription.) The second three days continue the exploration into even greater specificity through the use of narrow phonetic transcription. Participants then use these skills to explore the skills of adjusting linguistic detail and fluency in speech. These skills prepare the actor to move easily into any accent or vocal characterization that might be required onstage or in film, television or new media. Each day begins with a vocal warm-up.
Dates: December 13-19, 2025 - with December 16th as a day off. Workshop days run 8am-3pm Pacific Time, with a meal break 11am-12pm Pacific Time.
