Arabic Accents (Full day intensive)
Arabic Accents (Full day intensive)
Arabic accents are increasingly called for in film, theatre, and television. Learning the accent right before the audition is not ideal (to say the least!) This workshop will give you everything you need to master this accent, and get a leg up on getting the part!
Arabic has a number of different dialects (really different languages!) This workshop will focus on Egyptian Arabic, the most widely spoken and understood variety, though material describing aspects of some other Arabic varieties will be included as well.
