"Each actor has a few key roles and they flip from being passengers and Gander citizens, back and forth, but you’re never confused because they really become these characters, flip, flip, flip, in one second, by using accents (kudos to Dialect Coach Joel Goldes), mannerisms, and the relationships they have. --Front Row Reviewers Utah
I've just begun work at the Pasadena Playhouse on the world premiere of Matter of Honor by Michael J. Chepiga (Getting and Spending), directed by Scott Schwarz. I'm coaching South Carolina, Virginia, Minnesota and New York dialects for the piece, set at West Point in 1880.
My past acting and directing experience uniquely qualifies me as a dialect coach: not only can I guide you in the subtleties of a new accent, I can also help you explore sound possibilities within the character's given circumstances.
I look forward to working with you.
