Resources for Actors learning dialects

This is a great resource to begin your exploration of dialects.  While it is not about teaching a specific accent, it IS about teaching you how they work and how to better manipulate your own speech mechanism.  

Paul Meier is one of the best resources out there for actors learning dialects. His materials are detailed but accessible and these books are investments in your craft that you will revisit time and again.

A fantastically detailed book on African regional accents for actors.  No audio references are included but actors familiar with IPA will not find a more detailed and specific resource on African Accents.

George Mason University's free archive of speech accent samples.  Another great resource for actors looking for dialect samples to analyze and use in performance.
