Learn to Speak in Any Accent

I’ve been studying accents and dialects formally for 9 years, and informally for nearly 25 years. I have a deep love for analyzing the way people speak, and the way languages interact to form accents. I began studying accents and dialects academically in 2013 at UC Santa Barbara, and in 2016, I started coaching actors, professionals, and language students in the Los Angeles area.

Everyone has an accent. Everyone has their own way of processing and relating to language, whether or not they’re aware of it. My job is to help you understand your own habits, establish a foundational knowledge of the target dialect, and discover ways to build accuracy, fluency, and credibility as you speak. I can confidently promise you that you’ll be tangibly closer to learning any accent after just one introductory session with me. It’s not a matter of innate “talent.” It’s a skill you build and practice like any other. Let me show you!

I have coached actors who are learning accents for specific roles in TV and film, or who are just looking to build their repertoire of dialects. I have coached professionals who are looking to gain more flexibility and control of their native dialect. I have coached American students on their foreign language pronunciation, and English-Language-Development students on their General American pronunciation. Learning to control the way you talk is more than just an impressive party trick; it gives you the power to control the story that you project when you speak.

Accent & Dialect Classes

I am creating a course that teaches actors and performers how to approach and learn any accent or dialect! Finding a personal dialect coach is hard, and often expensive. My goal is to create an affordable, accessible way for actors and performers to learn crucial accent skills and develop a rich vocal versatility. We will focus on a wide array of wonderful accents, learn about their key sounds and techniques, examine the way we naturally speak, and build a reproducible, reliable method for learning new accents in the future.
