Accents With Adam
Free accent materials!
I have decided to share with you some of the accent teaching audio tracks I have created over the years for different theatre or film projects. Because these were created for specific actors and projects they may not reflect the way someone else might teach the same accent. But that’s a good thing. You should take advantage of as many sources as possible when learning an accent for yourself. For many, these will serve as a good general introduction to these particular dialects. For more specific regional variations, please contact me to set up a lesson online or in person.
Enjoy!
