Schwa and long ä | Basis of American Vowel sounds
Part 4:
Vowel “ə” (the, love, was, today, money, word, for, for you, forever)
Vowel “ˈɔ” (always, all, party, darling, awesome)
These are often a challenge to differentiate between for foreign speakers, so pay particular attention to the progression as Alex learns.
Diphthongs “A” “I” “U”
Part 5:
diphthong eɪ (say, day, thanks, favorite, play)
diphthong aɪ (rice, wild, child, time)
diphthong uː (you, few, view, human, usual)
These are often a challenge to differentiate between for foreign speakers, so pay particular attention to the progression as Alex learns.
“BBC Murders Kills it at the Parker Playhouse”
“An amusing Agatha Christie quartet is a delightful hybrid of theater and classic radio drama.”
~ Review by Christine Dolen of the Miami Herald
Amy Walker and Gary Sandy in "Personal Call", one of the four acts
“…If The BBC Murders has a leading lady (in addition to the genial Peterson as Christie, of course) and most valuable player, Amy Walker gets both titles. Brilliant at accents and looking a bit like a younger Kristin Scott Thomas, Walker morphs from a mysterious seductress in Butter to a frightened guest house owner in Three Blind Mice to the imperiled new wife of Personal Call to a Peruvian (no, really) movie star and torch singer in Yellow Iris. In all four plays, she’s terrific.” Click for full review

Agatha Christie’s the BBC Murders Jan 15 – Feb 3
Agatha Christie’s The BBC Murders:
leading ladies:…Marvelous performances by Gary Sandy as a philandering lawyer and Amy Walker as the black widow spider who lures him into her web. Walker, a chic beauty in the Claire Bloom mold, appears in all four plays as characters covering the gamut of class with a droll comic tone that is delightful…

Accentric Ballet in San Francisco
I’m coming to San Francisco!
Company C Contemporary Ballet
Artistic Director Charles Anderson, of Company C Contemporary Ballet Co, has choreographed a world-premier ballet to my EP record, A Discourse On Accents.
“Polyglot” is an exploration of the ways in which different accents/styles influence our expression, and the ways we’re received as we communicate with others.
I’ve been invited to perform the vocals live, while incredible dancers embody the international styles of the accents I flow through. It’s one piece in a diverse evening of exquisite dance, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.
DATES: February 7, 8, and 10
TICKETS & INFO: Yerba Buena Performing Arts Center, San Francisco, CA
Hope you can come!

Thank you for a wonderful show!
It was a sold-out run at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater, Fl. So much fun, thanks to an incredible cast, crew, and production team who worked incredibly hard.
Next up, Ft. Lauderdale in January!
See YOU in Florida!
The countdown has begun until I travel to Clearwater, Florida to reprise the roles of Lola, Pamela, Julia, and Molly in Agatha Christie’s The BBC Murders, with Gary Sandy, Phil Proctor, David Ossman, Judith Walcutt, and a whole amazing company of actors and technicians, Exec. Produced by veteran Broadway producer Zev Buffman.

Performances will also be in Ft. Lauderdale January 15th – February 3rd. Parker Playhouse Tickets Here.
I’m in Love with this Live Radio Theater medium! It’s so intimate. We’re on mic, with 3-D surround sound, so we can be so subtile and versatile with our voices, and you feel it all around you.
I get to play everything directly to the audience, so they can see it all clearly -like performing in close-up. We’re in costume, with set elements, but it’s a marriage of watching the actors and live foley sound FX artist and letting your imagination fill in the blanks.
I love it when people arrive skeptical, and walk out elated by the intimacy and creativity of the experience. Plus, it’s a company of actors, so you can watch us transform into different people right before your eyes!
Hope to see you there! ~Amy
