Scenes in Dialect for Young Actors (Young Actor Series)

For the first time, a collection of scenes to work on in Dialect! Challenging scenes which require dialect have been compiled in this new work from Smith & Kraus. In sections with an introduction and description of each dialect, there are scenes which use Standard British, Cockney British, Irish, Russian, American Southern and Brooklyn dialects (to name a few)! This book is excellent as a supplement to your acting/speech training and would be great use in scene study classes and Dialect courses.
