About Acting Studio Chicago

The dialect courses develop methods for learning and practicing accents for performance. Dialects 1 introduces a range of English and American dialects; Dialects 2 builds on that foundation with more advanced work. Both are five-week Zoom classes.

These are actor-training courses with prerequisites. Dialects 1 requires some acting background, assessed through a headshot and résumé. Dialects 2 requires Dialects 1 or approval based on training and experience. The school is in Chicago’s River North neighborhood; confirm the current course schedule directly.
