As well as giving courses, we like to attend courses to keep up to date on our training and research methods. Richard Ryder and I went on a course given by Edda Sharpe and Jan Haydn Rowles called “How to do Accents”.

It was fun and great to be on the receiving end of a voice course given by 2 people who really know their stuff. We came away refreshed and buoyed up. It was good to know the see it, hear it, feel approach that we use, is also a technique favoured by them.

This course was aimed at voice coaches who train actors, which we all do at Max Your Voice, but the knowledge crosses over when training people in all jobs.
