About the Booklet and CD:

Dialects and Accents for Actors, Storytellers and more….

Scottish is a self-instructional program in the Acting With An Accent series prepared by a speech teacher and dialect coach to the stars, Dr. David Alan Stern. He doesn’t use “tricks.” Instead he teaches the basics of convincing dialects – resonance, lilt, sound substitutions and pace. He explains pronunciations, word choice and touches on idioms.

Scottish is not just samples for imitation, but contains step-by-step, systematic lessons to learn the softer sounds of the Scottish dialect heard in Edinburgh as well as how to intensify the accent to the heavier pattern of Glasgow. Each packet contains a manual and an hour-long instructional compact disc that teaches you Lilt, Stress, Resonance and Pronunciation.

Dr. David Stern is a master dialectician and teacher of film and TV actors. He has taught at several universities and at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His Acting With An Accent compact discs are used in over 1000 university theatre programs and by professional actors around the world.
