1-to-1 Standard British Accent

$106

The Standard British Accent. This course is my 2nd most popular course and this accent often gets confused with British RP. To differentiate between the two accents I have popped in some links for reference, British RP is how the British royal family speak, and Standard British is more Kate Winslett,

Settle in as I walk you through the characteristic sounds of the Standard British Accent including the pronunciation of different sounds, words, phrases, and full sentences.

Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive six short and easy to follow video lessons conducted by me, Sarah Valentine, a professional accent coach.

The 1-to-1 course includes personal written feedback on your progress and you also get to learn a short Monologue.

Once finished, you’ll be able to continue accessing the course so you can repeat it until you have the accent just right. This course will familiarise actors and voice actors with the basics of the Standard British Accent and even help those who simply want to sound more native.

This 10 day course can be completed in 10 days and up to 3 months from your start date.

I can testify to the effort Sarah put into helping me in the course. I was about to give up on the course due to hearing difficulties, but Sarah decided to provide a way to help me overcome my challenges. I am better off now and feel good about what I’ve learned from her class. A good teacher is someone who won’t give up on you.

Working with Sarah Valentine was everything I could of asked for and more in an accent class. The class breakdown and the Valentine method made it so easy to learn and master my British accent. Sarah’s feedback was so helpful while also being fun. I would definitely recommend Sarah for anyone wanting to learn an accent. I can’t wait to sign up for another course!
