             Tess O’Neill is an investigative journalist assigned to profile renowned television personality and psychic medium Judith Knight. Judith claims to make contact with people who have died, connecting them with people in the audience.

             The assignment is no accident. Tess is the daughter of the brilliant late science writer Robert O’Neill, who would have never believed in Judith’s abilities. Tess’ every instinct suggests to her that Judith is a charlatan. But what if she’s not? Things happen that cause Tess to re-examine the possibility that Judith does what she says she does. Judith claims that Robert is reaching out to Tess from beyond the grave.

            Tess enlists the aid of Alex Rimbaud, a scientist, skeptic, and Robert’s former protégé. He is convinced that Judith is a bunco artist and plans to publish a magazine piece exposing her as a fraud. While Tess consults Alex, their long-repressed passion for each other is revived.

            Tess, Alex and Judith are headed for a showdown as Tess is determined to learn the truth of things once and for all. Is Judith a fraud? Or is Robert actually trying to make contact with her from the Beyond? What will this bode for Tess’ and Alex’s future together?

a class for students who would like to learn three of the most common dialects that they are likely to be asked to work with.

 
I have an accent now, how do I get rid of it and sound like I could be from anywhere?  What advantage can I gain from becoming a proficient dialect actor?
This is a class where the student will be taught the tools to learn ANY dialect that they could possibly need to learn; a class for students who would like to learn three of the most common dialects that they are likely to be asked to work with.  It is one thing to be able to do a British or Irish Dialect after taking a class, but it is quite another to have to tools to know that you can learn ANY dialect that you’d need to.  
In this class students will learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and Non-Regional American Dialect (NRAD) – the basis from which we can learn any other dialect – and then they’ll learn a Standard British, a Dublin Irish, and an American Southern Dialect.  
Beyond just learning the dialects and tools, you have to learn how to handle the challenges that come with acting while maintaining a dialect.  We’ll dive into scene work from some of the best dialect plays out there and ask some questions together…  How does it affect the choices I make?  How do I handle it in rehearsal when I’m still learning to speak with a dialect?  How can I best prepare for a dialect audition?  I have an accent now, how do I get rid of it and sound like I could be from anywhere?  What advantage can I gain from becoming a proficient dialect actor?
Call 310-392-0815 to join us at the free informational meeting to learn about the classes
