COACHING FORMATS
Learning a dialect requires more than just mimicking someone's speech. In order to acquire a believable accent that you can recall and use at will, the accent or dialect needs to be broken down into sound changes, vocal patterns and inflections, tone focus, body language of the culture, and individual character choices. I guide my clients through the process of learning and then integrating these changes into their own body and speech.
MY CLIENTS
I coach major film and TV actors, helping them acquire and perfect dialects for their roles. Recently, I worked with Marion Cotillard, Jason Clarke and David Wenham for the feature "Public Enemies", directed by Michael Mann. I also work with actors who need a dialect to add to their resume for an audition or an upcoming role.
ACCENT REDUCTION
Accent reduction is particular to each individual person and accent, and is best achieved in consistent private sessions, usually over a three month period. My clients who want to reduce or get rid of an accent include those in the professional business world as well as those in the entertainment industry.
