Reviews

""Beth’s book is an essential tool for approaching African accents. Her comprehensive research and integrated physical approach help to demystify the complexities of different ethnic and national sounds, and allow the actor to bring a level of specificity to characters that is seldom heard. This book is a first of its kind, and I’m proud to have worked with the woman behind it."" - Lupita Nyong’o, Academy Award Winner
