Accent and Dialect Coaching.

I am an accent and dialect coach, specialising in all accents from my native Ireland (including Southern and Northern). I have a passion for helping actors and performers to produce an authentic and convincing accent in a way that is respectful to cultures and traditions of the accent’s origin. Some accents I specialise in include but are not limited to:  

• Received Pronunciation

• Accents of the British Isles

• European Accents

• General and Southern American

• Accents of Asia and Australasia

Accent Softening.

Accents are a huge part of our identity, but some people may feel that their accent is holding them back and that people see them differently because of how they sound (or do not sound). I can help clients to ‘soften’ their accent in a respectful and sensitive way, that still maintains the person’s identity.
