What is the Accent Method?

The Accent Method is a holistic therapy regime designed to co-ordinate respiration, phonation, articulation and resonance to produce clear and effective voicing and communication skills. It originated with Danish Phonetician, Svend Smith, and is widely used in Scandinavia and Europe. It is evidence based as an effective rehabilitation technique for voice disorders, stammering and for developing healthy voices in readiness for singing and acting performance. The presenters have long standing experience of working with Accent Method (over 30 years), having learned the technique directly from Kirsten Thyme-Frokjaer, who took over responsibility for Accent Method training from Svend Smith. The aim of this course is to provide delegates with a clear understanding of the rationale on which the Accent Method is based, to experience the effects of the technique themselves and to equip them with practical skills and tools to bring into their own area of work. The first three hours, on Sat 27th August, are devoted to the scientific background and evidence base underpinning the Accent Method, which is essential to understanding and the effective performance of the technique. The remaining time, Tue 30th August – Wed 31st August, is practical in nature.
