    Listening in, theatre junior Malaika Bourgi-Gordon, who is movement captain as well as an understudy for Moaning Myrtle, works with the cast during a vocal exercise. “This vocal work really helped me think about how I say each syllable…it really does affect how you see words because it’s like, you think of the alphabet in a whole new phonetic way,” Bourgi-Gordon said. For the production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the cast has to learn how to speak with a vocal dialect. “The whole show is completely British,” Bourgi-Gordon said. “So for the people who do not know the rules (of British dialect), this definitely helps us sound a little more competent and makes it sound better for the whole show.”
