Luckily, we're here to help. “I basically say, learn the notes so that you can play the music,” says dialect and acting coach Denise Woods. “And acting is playing the music. But you got to know the notes. It frees you.” On this episode of “In the Envelope: The Actor's Podcast,” we sat down with Woods, as well as dialect and accent coaches Rebecca Gausnell, Bob Corff, and Paul Meier, for a lesson on learning any accent—from the physicality of your mouth to training your ear to hear the rhythms of your character's hometown. --- Backstage has been the #1 resource for actors and talent-seekers for 60 years.

On the Did you know Segment… Sunni and Lisa are recognizing and celebrating Black|African American History Month by sharing stories of inventors of everyday items!  On this episode it's the ironing board!   According to history.com   Improved Ironing Board, Invented by Sarah Boone in 1892  ~ The ironing board is a product that's used possibly just as much as it's overlooked. In the late 19th century, it was improved upon by Sarah Boone, an African American woman who was born enslaved. One of the first Black women in U.S. history to receive a patent, she expanded upon the original ironing board, which was essentially a horizontal wooden block originally patented in 1858. With Boone's 1892 additions, the board featured a narrower and curved design, making it easier to iron garments, particularly women's clothing. Boone's design would morph into the modern ironing board that we use today.On this episode of Active Allyship…it's more than a #hashtag!

We talked with Denise about the process of perfecting a dialect, collaborating with directors, working with actors to build a character's voice, and much more.

Welcome Dr. Denise Woods to the Blue, Gold & BLACK Podcast. Dr. Woods serves as our Assistant Vice Chancellor of Health, Counseling and Wellness here at UCR. Listen as Dr. Woods tells us about her experiences growing up in The Bay immersed in a strong Black Community and her pursuit of higher education which led her to public health. All of those experiences culminate in the work she does for our community here at UCR and her mission of approaching health holistically.

In this episode, we get into two very big and important topics: labor doulas and vaginally delivering a breech baby, specifically, one that is the frank breech position. My dear friend, labor doula, yoga teacher, dancer, and fellow mama, Denise Woods, discusses her experience as a labor doula and the important roles that they play in a woman's journey to giving birth. Especially for first-time mamas, it can be confusing trying to decide if you should have a doula during these COVID times when the doula can't even go into the room with you. We address that in this episode. Then we switch gears to discuss something very rare, which is Denise's vaginal delivery of her son, Lennon, who was in the Frank Breech position. She found out at 38 ½ weeks and did everything she could to turn him before ultimately surrendering to his chosen ideal position, and subsequently scrambling to scrap her dream of a home birth and find a care provider in Los Angeles who would be willing to facilitate a vaginal breech birth. Finding care providers that deliver breech babies vaginally is a dying art, so this was more challenging than you might think.
