Description

(Applause Acting Series). Widely recognized as essentially the most complete and rigorous text of its kind since it was once first published in 1942, Speak With Distinction is a useful resource. It presents a comprehensive study of the sounds of Spoken English in their most necessary phonetic environments. This most latest revision also adds much material for comparisons of speech sounds; suggestions for accurate, efficient and conversational ways of combining the sounds into connected utterance; indications that foster a working knowledge of two dialects of speech (General American and what Mrs. Skinner known as Good Speech for classic and elevated texts); and beginning material to show application of the principles of Good Speech to well-written texts. Some necessary additions to the book are the extensive Glossary and Index, abundant guides to pronunciations, new sections featuring such details as your entire “Ask-List” of words, a program for the elimination of glottal attacks of vowel and dipthong sounds, greatly expanded practice material of phrases and sentences, and an up to date Chart showing several levels of phonetic transcription and spelling equivalents in current usage. Speak With Distinction can be utilized in several ways: as a number one educational textbook for both the beginning and advanced actor; as a supplementary textbook for teachers and students who have their own methods and agenda for study; and as a reference book for teachers, speech coaches and directors.
