Particularly outstanding are his British and Irish dialects, but there is an incredible wealth of information and useful tools throughout the entire book. Mr. Meier incorporates IPA into this work, but you don't have to have prior experience with it. This is the only work I've come across that employs both an IPA and a "phonics-based" approach to dialects/accents with such fluidity, accessibility and effectiveness. Included in the book is an IPA chart, and stunningly, if you go to his IDEA website, you can hear the IPA (demonstrated by Mr. Meier) and practice working with the actual core sounds. This is a magnificent tool. I've worked with IPA as a singer before, not extensively (or even that successfully), but it's never been more accessible than with his work. The seven-step process is highly effective: he begins with standard idiomatic sounds, develops the production of those sounds in (sometimes tongue-twisting!) statements, progresses to coordination exercises (sentences using a combination of the various sounds) and ends with two short, idiomatic and well-researched monologues in each dialect/accent. Mr. Meier is truly a master teacher of his material. The CDs accompanying the book follow the texts perfectly. This allows (in my opinion) for three levels of working: read the text, follow the text with the CD, use the CD on its own. I've found that working this way gives a full immersion in the material and very quickly helps the actor to incorporate the principles into whatever role he or she is preparing. Mr. Meier's voice is engaging, accessible and intimate, as though he is your own personal private coach and his demonstrations are superbly performed. It is without equivocation that I recommend this work to all actors and educators. We are fortunate to have access to Mr. Meier's years of experience, and his solid, effective, tested and practical method of instruction.
