Reviews for Achieving Authenticity in Received Pronunciation - A Toolkit For Actors

[ecs104 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Has some useful info here and there, but it’s sloppily put together (e.g. there are places where the narrator says “renounced pronunciation”) and the actual information given about RP is not very comprehensive. Far too much time is taken up with repeating words and phrases, and there is comparatively little actual useful information about pronunciation and prosody.
