DIALECT COACHING TO LAND OR PLAY THE PART

An inauthentic accent can ruin your chances at an audition. And if it ends up on screen, it can be a potential career killer. So many actors who are learning a dialect learned that accent from other actors…who, in turn learned it from other actors…who also learned it from other actors…or maybe even a cartoon character! It’s time to break that cycle.

SpeechFox takes a unique approach to dialect coaching that focuses on fundamental linguistics patterns that will help you master the sounds of any dialect. Together, we´ll look at your script or audition sides and work on delivering your dialogue in an authentic-sounding accent that might even fool native speakers.

A last-minute audition required a British accent. Melanie was quick, kind, thorough and even marked the script with the sound changes. And, I got very good feedback from the casting director!

A huge help whenever I prepare for roles or auditions! I’ve performed in plays/films using a southern dialect and an Irish (Dublin) accent. I would highly recommend Melanie for stage and screen actors.
