## Description

Three of the UKs leading accent coaches present The ACCENT Kit: an invaluable tool and resource for actors, and anyone wanting to learn an accent. 

Edda Sharpe, Jan Haydn Rowles and Richard Ryder’s highly skilled yet invisible work, can be heard across the creative industries, from Game of Thrones to the Royal Shakespeare Company. They are on the call sheets for all the major international film and TV production companies and on the rehearsal schedules for leading theatre producers and directors.  Simply, you couldn’t be in better hands.

The ACCENT Kit app is free to download and gives you access to a library of REAL AUTHENTIC ACCENT SPEAKERS validated by experts for authenticity and ‘usability’.
Build your very own accent library at the touch of a button. 
Only buy accents that work for your profile and character.
Or use the app to record people reading The ACCENT Kit and build your own accent library for free!
Downloadable kits include recordings of authentic speakers demonstrating the five crucial elements needed to learn an accent, set out in a simple, easy to use structure;
    • FREE SPEECH: a 1-3 minute story of personal interest in the speaker’s own words.
    • FOUNDATIONS: the oral SETTING, the focal ZONE and the TONE of the accent.
    • PRACTICE TEXT: the speaker reading a set text containing all the speech sounds and combinations you need. 
    • WORD LIST and SENTENCES: all the vowel shapes of the accent together with practice sentences recorded by the sample speaker.
    • CONSONANTS and PRACTICE SENTENCES: six consonant sounds that can make or break your accent together demonstrated together with practice sentences recorded by the sample speaker.

Each element is user friendly, straight forward and easy to navigate. 
Tap the question mark at any time for further guidance.
You can also; 
    • Record yourself practicing the accent.
    • Store all your recordings in your own library of MY RECORDINGS and PURCHASED FILES.

The Accent Kit is praised for practicality, ease of use, and sound content that supports actors and teachers. Reviewers highlight helpful practice materials and ongoing content expansion. However, recurring issues with purchasing/download restoration, crashes, and store connectivity undermine reliability.
