Workshops
Need British or American dialects? Call center training? Foreign language accents? Accent reduction? ESL? Voice-over for commercials? Paul is available for single-day workshops or longer. If it's acting with an accent you're after, workshop participants receive a copy of Paul's dialect textbook, Accents and Dialects for Stage and Screen, in use at many theatre departments and conservatories around the world. Depending on the numbers of participants, the per-person workshop fee could be little more than the cost of a single copy of the book! Great value from Paul Meier Dialect Services!
Participants enjoy:
- personal dialect instruction from a leading professor of dialect and dialect coach
- coaching in several dialect monologues — a great boost to audition skills, learning how to seamlessly integrate dialect work with acting
- their own copy of Paul's text book with accompanying CDs to keep
- Many theatres will schedule a dialect workshop during rehearsals for a current show for which they have leased Paul's show-specific dialect CDs, e.g. My Fair Lady, Oliver, King and I, Secret Garden, and many others. At the same time as Paul gives his workshop, he works one-on-one with the actors from the show, giving in-person coaching, and all for about the same price as leasing his show-specific CDs!
