Vocal Coach and Dialect Designer
As a Vocal Coach and Dialect Designer, I have had the pleasure of working on over 100 plays in the last 20 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.
