Vocal Coach and Dialect Designer
As a Vocal Coach and Dialect Designer, I have had the pleasure of working on almost 100 plays in the last 10 years. If
you need dialect or accent resources, analysis of complex texts, or if
you or one of your actors has a particular vocal challenge, I can help. I
am comfortable working with novice actors and veteran professionals of
all ages.
Some of my representative clients include: the Coconut Grove Theatre, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Hampton Shakespeare Festival, the Civic Theatre, the Whole-Art Theatre, the Phoenix Theatre, Southwest Shakespeare Company, Kalamazoo Symphony, and Veritas Pictures. My private clients include Miss Florida, Telemundo, Grand Rapids Fox Channel 17, and Univision, to name a few (complete list of shows and clients available upon request). One reviewer for the Kalamazoo Gazette, wrote, “A keen pleasure in the production was picking out the distinct British accents of the three social classes: aristocracy, middle, and lower class. Vocal coach Micha Espinosa once again has done a marvelous job with the actors.”
The focus of my work is to empower the actor and give them practical skills that will help them achieve intelligibility and sustainability. My multi-cultural theatre, film, and life experiences have given my coaching a unique focus where universal themes and processes transcend language barriers.
