My speech colleague Jen Innes and I partnered to create an accent workshop exploring the shared attributes of Australian and Southern drawls. We had a fantastic time teaching these two accents to students at the lovely ZACH theatre in Austin.

After two months of labor, expert advice from sound engineers, misleading advice from YouTube, a few commandeered power tools, and essential help and encouragement from family and friends, the booth is built! This soundproof isolation booth was constructed for voiceover work and recording vocals, harmonica, and guitar. I am so happy with the results. The room sounds great and projects have started to arrive. Just in time.

Seattle made for the perfect setting of this year’s VASTA/PAVA joint conference. Reconnecting with old friends and meeting new friends from the Pan-American Vocology Association brought a brilliant light to my speech work. Straw phonation, vowel yoga, Linklater improv work, Miller Voice Method triggers, Rena Cook and Hilary Blair’s workshop on coaching corporate clients, and several mini presentations on groundbreaking work in accent acquisition and generative change inspired several great additions to my current approach to speech. Looking forward to next year’s conference!
