Voice And Performance

As an accent dialect coach with an MFA from Yale University who’s been teaching actors and professionals in Los Angeles for the past 7 years, I find students may learn the same material in slightly different ways. I work with my students to find the way that works best for them. There are so many aspects to speech- not only mouth shape and articulation, but also tune, pitch, and rhythm. Over time, new habits can be developed and new listening skills and speaking skills emerge. It’s a great pleasure to help people find that ah-hah moment and begin to be able to make changes they never thought possible to begin to speak with an American accent when they choose to.

I love helping people take the time to learn about all the aspects of speech that can feel overwhelming when trying to change on their own. To really slow down and examine all the muscles we use, the many sounds, and the other aspects like rhythm, tune and mouth shape helps people enormously. There is nothing more fulfilling than when I see students take the work we do together and start to make connections of their own and start to feel much more confident about their ability. That is what brings me great joy and satisfaction- hearing about and seeing the victories take place.
