Jim, please explain why you cannot teach good diction without interfering with dialect or accent.
let us take macColl, he sang with a scottish accent but his diction was clear., how does that fit in with your statement
canal wheeler,i never post here when i am in my cups. furthermoreI am unable to drink alcohol at the moment or when i posted , i have /had gout, so you are way off the mark.
Jim,
MacColl still participated in the critics group,and whether he declined to teach is irrelevant, he was the oldest person in the group and had a dominant personality and was a strong influence on other members, as nearly all those members of the critics group have stated.
Finally, canal wheeler, if my post was illiterate, how did you manage to read it and understand it, the dictionary definition of illiterate is,ignorant of letters , unable to read, unlearned.
