Dialect or accent
We all recognise some dialects (or accents). But for radio, we need to develop systematic skills here.
Research for the UK
| Begin with www.accentbank.co.uk - this is a small actors' voice-over site, in the UK, with downloadable clips demonstrating some regional accents. |
| The British Museum site, at http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/. Then in the search option, type in dialect. This gives a collection of older clips from the Sound Archive. |
| Search on the Internet for actors' down-loadable clips, offering voice-over. |
See auditioning for using dialect in casting.
