dialect coaching
pre-production
Ranging anywhere from 1 hour to 1 year, prepping actors to be confident when the cameras are rolling is key. I love taking a deep dive into the dialect research, being as specific as the neighborhood the character is from.
on set
The key to good on-set coaching is learning what kind of notes the director and actors prefer to get. I love cracking the code to create the most effective notes that bring the actor back to a confident, accurate place.
post-production
Need to redo sound? I'm happy to prep your actors beforehand and be in the session virtually or in person. I can also preview your film and give you a report with lines and time stamps for any necessary dialect adjustments.
