The Accent Method was designed by Svend Smith, a Danish phonetician, and is widely used in Scandinavia and on the Continent. It is a holistic therapy regime designed to co-ordinate the muscles of respiration, phonation and articulation to produce efficient voice production and clear, resonant, well modulated speech. Initially the technique concentrates on establishing diaphragmatic breathing and abdominal muscle control to regulate the expiratory air stream. The therapist/teacher progresses the client through a series of graded vocal exercises at varying tempos to develop efficient voice and articulation production. This is then gradually conditioned into spontaneous speech.
The aim of this course is to set out the rationale on which the Accent Method is based, to allow delegates to experience the technique and provide them with practical skills and tools to bring into their own area of work.
This practical course is designed for Speech and Language Therapists, Singing Teachers, Voice Teachers and other Voice Practitioners.
