Who is Troy Mackinder?

Practically Speaking is a practical and easy to grasp technique for
learning the American Accent. Troy is a passionate teacher who has
spent over 12 years helping students fulfil their dreams.
Not only has he been a teacher for many years but he is an industry
professional working on-set with actors such as Sam Neill, Claudia
Karvan, Vince Colosimo, Jay Laga'aia, Michael Dorman, Isabel Lucas,
Sebastian Gregory, Harrison Gilbertson, Harry Cook and so many more ...
And he's CURRENTLY the Dialogue Coach on Stephen Spielberg's Terra
Nova.
Troy has helped countless actors achieve their dream. He understands
that voice training can be laborious and because of that has created
this truly practical and easy approach to learning the accent. It's the
same technique he uses on set!

Feeling like you will never get there?

You probably have had several auditions already and left promising
yourself you would get a better accent for the next audition. Maybe you
have been putting off the trip to LA or NY to follow your dream until
you get the accent ready to go. Weeks roll into months and months into
year.
Well it doesn't matter what you haven't done up to this point. It
matters what you do right now. In Practically Speaking the technique
has painstakingly been laid out to make learning the American Accent
easy and practical. It allows actors to find the accent without having
that annoying voice in your head telling you to "maintain the accent"
Learning the American Accent the RIGHT WAY?

That annoying voice in your head during auditions that says "maintain
the accent" or worse it might even say "that accent is terrible" is one
of the worst problems when doing an accent other than your own.
Well with Practically Speaking that voice in your head will disappear.
This technique is unique in it's practical approach to the accent. It's
easy! Practically Speaking teaches you to focus allowing you to change
from "doing an accent" to just thinking about your acting.
Practically Speaking uses the most common academic knowledge but gives
a practical and easy way to achieve the results without over analyzing
the entire makeup of the accent. The book avoids the usual overload of
academic based techniques and keeps the actor focused on their acting.
We have heard from many students that have bought other books or
studied with other teachers and the most common statement is "I loved
it when I was in the class, but I couldn't tell you where to start if I
got a script". Well with Practically Speaking this is not the case. You
will follow a script from receiving it from your agent to performing in
the audition. The step by step instructions will leave you with no
doubt about what you need to do when you receive the script.
And don't worry about the usual BORING voice learning. Practically
Speaking has been taught by Troy Mackinder who is known for taking what
can be the most boring part of acting training and making it fun. It's
not good enough to just say "this is voice and so it has to be boring".
Troy believes if you make things fun you will do them and if they are
not fun you won't. With that in mind he has tried to make the learning
as fun as it can be so you can get the job done!
Sound like YOU have been American your entire life.
More often than not when going to a voice teacher or accent coach you
will be taught what Troy likes to call "the polite voice teacher
voice". This consists of over pronouncing every word throughout. The
problem with this is that NOBODY actually speaks that way. In Troy's
years as an industry professional it is the most common thing he sees
among actors. With Practically Speaking this is not the case. The
entire approach acknowledges the conversational speech patterns and
incorporates it's in into your training.
You will not be learning something that teaches you to sound like that
"polite voice teacher". You will sound like you have been American your
entire life! And more importantly you will sound like an actor who is
competent and capable of landing the role. If that's what you want from
your American Accent then this book is for you!
This book was made for Australians and New Zealanders can it work for
me?
Troy has worked with all kinds of Nationalities and accent with AWESOME
results. Troy did originally write this book with Australians and New
Zealanders in mind as he resides in Australia. However the book focuses
mainly on the American Accent with only some references to the
Australian Accent. The American Accent does not change from one
nationality to another.
Troy has used this book and his technique to help such accents as
English (London), Northern England, Irish, South African and Italian
and the results have been exceptional. Just see what Nino and Brian
have to say.

"Troy's workshop was a revelation. As an actor, his technique is clear,
analytical, almost scientific. This technical approach frees the actor
of the cultural baggage which can infiltrate characterisation and
render it stereotypical. It is a liberating technique! It is also
deeply fascinating from a linguistic point of view. The analysis of
language and the breakdown of syllables and their emphases is both
logical and practical. It gets results! In a relatively short time, I
was able to speak with an American accent which felt neither contrived
nor forced. The accompanying book and cd are excellent resources and a
valuable part of my acting toolbox. Thank you Troy for having the
commitment to formulate what you know instinctively and for sharing it
with the rest of us! Yours in gratitude, Nino" -- NINO ALESSI

"It was a pleasure editing this book for Troy who has a passion for
assisting actors to find an accuracy and understanding of accents,
particularly the transition from Australian to American. I have
observed him work with both mature and younger actors and he has been
effective with both. Even though this book is aimed at Australian
actors, it is a book that should be of significant value to any
non-American who takes on an American character." -- BRIAN GILBERTSON
Internationally recognized opera singer

Still wondering if this book is for you? Take a look at what others are
saying about learning this technique?

"Troy used a process in which he clearly analyzed and broke down each
syllable and word thoroughly and systematically. He is a persistent and
challenging teacher and warm and encouraging, these qualities and his
teaching skills were very helpful in learning the American accent in an
environment where it isn't spoken. It was fun and a joy working with
Troy, I feel that I can now approach any text with the knowledge and
skills to confidently portray the standard American accent." -- ISABEL

"When in need of a pronounced approach to accent training, Troy's
enjoyable method is one to be sought after. Not everyone loves to put
on an accent, for some the thought can be quite daunting. Troy's
approach keeps the task enjoyable & I found his method very effective."

"Troy's approach to accent work and dialect training is very specific
but not at all overwhelming. Not only did he `fine-tune' what I thought
I already knew, he opened my ears up to the subtle differences and
rhythms the American accent has, something not always brought to our
attention "down under".
It was a pleasure to work with someone so committed and skilled and I
would highly recommend Troy to anyone. I look forward to referring to
his book for many years to come." -- JOEL TOBECK

"Troy Mackinder is one of a kind. I was lucky enough to work with him
as my dialect coach on the film "Accidents Happen" and he guided us
through the process of becoming "American" in a way that didn't feel
forced or scary. He is a dedicated, intelligent and hilariously funny
guy who made working on the movie a complete pleasure. Troy "Macattack"
Mackinder is a true genius in teaching and a perfectionist who makes
work fun and interesting. I couldn't have done it without him!" --

"Troy Mackinder gave myself and my fellow actors in the feature film
"Accidents Happen" dialect coaching through four weeks of intensive
rehearsal and six weeks of shooting. Without Troy's dedicated work the
film would not have been possible, as nearly all of the cast were
Australian. Troy "Macattack" Mackinder is a leader in his dialect work
for Australians and I am grateful to him for that." -- HARRISON

"I just wanted to follow up from the workshop with an emailing
personally thanking you for you enormous help on the weekend. I really
found that the accent work complimented the acting work particularly
when you got it off the page, connected to the text and really felt
what you were saying. I also wanted to say a special thanks to you for
helping me with the audition scene for PowerRangers, I had the call
back today and it went as well as any audition can. So thank you
eternally and all the best for the future."

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
