About Shakespeare Pronunciation

Shakespeare Pronunciation is a complete AUDIO pronunciation dictionary for all the words in Shakespeare’s plays, including Latin words and phrases. In this easy to use app, each word is respelled and has a pronunciation guide which is simple to follow. The app also has sections on how the verse structure influences pronunciation, and suggestions for the accents and dialects that are used in the plays. This will prove to be an essential tool for actors, directors, teachers, students, and anyone who reads aloud the works of William Shakespeare. Extensive research by authors Louis Scheeder and Shane Ann Younts, Arts Professors at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, have produced an invaluable resource for education and performance. The app provides the pronunciation of more than 5,000 carefully recorded words including every character name, geographic location, mythological reference and any unfamiliar word. Words can be found using the advanced search function and the word history or by scrolling alphabetically. Act, scene, and individual line numbers from the Complete Pelican Edition are used. This is a must-have for anyone who studies, performs, and enjoys Shakespeare.

This app lacks so many words that Shakespeare uses. Don't waist your money, I guarantee you will be disappointed. Also it is very difficult to navigate through. Get cup of Starbucks, money better spent.

So easy to use, with great supporting material as a bonus! Younts and Scheeder are the modern authorities on Shakespeare pronunciation, and have created a highly-valued resource with their book, All the Words Onstage, which I try to have always by my side. This app makes that even easier, with quick, handy, accessible, clear pronunciations and notes at the tap of my finger, right on my phone. Everyone who works on Shakespeare text should have this. --Joanne Zipay, Founder, Judith Shakespeare Company NYC

This APP is a must for any actor of Shakespeare. I have had it for two days and have referred to it a dozen times. It is great to have the word written out in eye spelling and also have the pronunciation spoken in American English. Bravo!
