Heightened RP

A growing library of videos on British Upper Received Pronunciation and a digital archive of rare vinyl recordings. As a dialect or accent coach, you may want to use them as authentic speech samples for teaching a posh accent. As an actor, you can use these tapes to teach yourself posh URP, that older, almost antiquated strain of R.P., which is still the gold standard when it comes to adaptations of classic novels and historical plays. Also look out for other useful teaching resources on vocabulary, phonetics, grammar, etc.! 

As someone who has always had an uncanny predilection for RP, I enjoy exploring it historically along its variegated spectrum consisting of retardataire Conservative RP, perpolite Upper RP, the rather recent Marked RP and the more modern neutral RP. I hold that one can appreciate RP, just like any other dialect, only if one brushes aside the pejorative social connotations that it has acquired latterly.
