The IPA (Voice II students)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/international.phonetic.alphabet
Above is a link to a very thorough article about the IPA used by linguists around the world. We will use a more limited version for theatrical purposes.
Below is an article about Edith Skinner's work creating an American Theater Standard. The phonetics you see listed here are ones we'll focus on in class. In my years as a coach I've moved toward what I'd describe as "Expressive American Theater Standard." It is more practical, and reflects how theater in America has evolved since Edith's work in the 1960's and 70's. Today Edith's work can sound a little "precious" or a little too "British" when followed too strictly.
