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:

If you’re in the Miami – Fort Lauderdale area, indulge in this fun Live Radio Theatre show, in which I play 4 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…
