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.

Ratings and Reviews
Data lost!
I love this app, but something odd happened this week, so I deleted and reinstalled. Now everything is gone, including every accent I’ve purchased, and every time I try to access the accent store it either spins forever or I get the message ‘The AppStore is not available at this time.’ Help??
Great advice from Industry Experts
I love this app and use and recommend it all the time. I work in theatre as an actor, director and voice/dialect coach and have found the app not only extremely easy to use but brilliantly researched too. I get great (accurate) results every time and the practice tips and suggestions mean the accent/dialect is maintained for the whole rehearsal/run. The creators are the best in the biz. (Remember there are no shortcuts with accent work, but this makes learning so easy and fun).
Highly, highly recommended.
Can’t Restore
Since I updated my operating system. I cannot restore my purchases on this app. I purchased a Scottish accent and every time I click “restore purchases”, the app crashes
Developer Response ,
Hi Tiffy,
Apologies for the slow responses, and for this frustrating glitch in the system. The fix for this is to delete the app entirely, reinstall it, and then tap RESTORE PURCHASES. Thank you for your patience and understanding! The Team
