Class description

🎭 Accents & Dialects with Cooper Shaw

U.S. South

Looking to expand your character work, strengthen your vocal flexibility, and have a blast doing it?

Cooper Shaw has developed a 10-workshop Zoom series focused on accents and dialects, with new sessions offered twice each month.

This practical, playful introduction explores how we shape sound and use the voice to create believable characters and authentic accents.

In this workshop, you’ll explore:

• Vocal placement

• Rhythm and musicality

• Sound shaping

• Character through voice

• Foundations of accent and dialect work

Whether you’re an improviser, actor, storyteller, or simply curious about voices and speech patterns, these workshops are designed to be accessible, fun, and immediately useful.

Some accents are easy to pick up. Others are wonderfully challenging.

Cooper is a proud accent nerd—and loves helping people discover the joy of vocal transformation.
