4.0 out of 5 stars For those who want to sound different...., August 31, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Acting With an Accent: Australian (Paperback)
Learning any dialect can be tricky. Imitating one can be even more. This book/cassestte offers a different approach to mastering an australian accent aside to the pronunciation changes. You learn how to develop a new resonance to your voice that makes it sound more natural and realistic. Written and narrated by Dr. David Alan Stern. It's a valuable source for anybody wanting to learn the australian dialect

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money and rent Crocodile Dundee again...., February 21, 2004

This review is from: Acting With an Accent: Australian (Paperback)
When people go on vacation and come back with an accent, it's from listening to people speak. This tape is too hard to follow and hard to listen to. The guy on the tape goes over and over and over about moving your tongue here, talking through your nose and so on. No really good conversations to listen to, to pick up the accents. Too much explaining. He should have stayed in the same voice also. Save your money and rent Crocodile Dundee again or watch the Crocodile Hunter series.

2.0 out of 5 stars just a yank trying to pass off as an aussie, January 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Acting With an Accent: Australian (Paperback)
I ordered this book because I wanted to understand Australian dialect better. The book is very short, only 16 pages, but it contains lots of useful information. It includes phonics and speaking exercises which I found helpful. However the tape was horrible! I assumed that the tape would be done by an actual Australian; but how wrong I was! I started listening to it, and I've heard enough aussie's speak, to begin to wonder if the tape's speaker was really Australian. I soon found out however, when the speaker smoothly changed to his normal voice; east coast american! That was enough for me to start laughing insanely and finally to toss the tape into a pile of other cassette rejects, including my personal favorite; How to Speak with a Southern Accent by Zehni lai Quien!! If you really want to understand aussie dialect, listen to real aussies. But if you want a good laugh, order this!
