A VOICE expert who has taught many leading Hollywood stars how to speak is to give a lecture at the University of York on his work.
Dialect and dialogue coach Andrew Jack has worked with stars such as Pierce Brosnan when he was James Bond, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman among others on films including Lord of the Rings, Batman Begins, Troy and Calendar Girls.
Dr Dominic Watt, senior lecturer in York’s department of language and linguistic science, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Andrew for a public lecture here, not least because it will give our students a fascinating insight into one of the many applications that a training in linguistics and phonetics can be put to.”
The lecture on December 3 is already fully booked.
