3 Minutes to a Proper British Accent

David Ley, drama professor and voice and dialect coach at the University of Alberta, explains how to speak with an upper-class British accent

April 04, 2013 •

David Ley recently became an Internet sensation for his use of a vibrator to improve vocal range for singers and actors.

Now Ley-who is a drama professor, and voice and dialect coach at the University of Alberta-offers a three-minute tutorial on how to speak with an upper-class British accent. With Ley's help, a hard candy and a little practice, you'll be directing the sec-re-tree to the lav-re-tree in no time.

Look for a profile on Ley in the Spring 2013 issue of New Trail magazine.
