LAMDA in NYC: Discover how to authentically embody British accent(s) in this advanced class for professional actors.
Taught by UK native, Atticus Orsborn, this in-depth weekend course is an invaluable opportunity to spend some deep and dedicated time working on your British accent(s). Designed for professional working actors, you’ll be guided through the technical aspects of creating a British accent, before moving on to discovering how to sit in and embody the accent as your own.
You’ll be encouraged to find truth, connection and ease over perfection and impersonation, and you’ll finish up the weekend with a reliable British accent(s) you can be confident in.
LAMDA is the UK’s oldest drama school and voice and accent work has always been a part of our training. US Graduates of LAMDA have gone on to use British Accents in Broadway Productions such as THE HILLS OF CALIFORNIA, PRESENT LAUGHTER, and HARRY POTTER and THE CURSED CHILD, among others. Accent-teaching at LAMDA is a positive tool students can use to create character, rather than trying to change their own unique voice. As such, you’ll be encouraged to enter into accent work with a sense of play and curiosity, on a quest to find the truth rather than the outcome of the accent, learning from and sharing with each other over the course of this inspiring weekend.
This course runs Saturday April 25 – Sunday April 26 from 10am – 5:30pm each day. Apply online via the included link.
