Amy Stoller is an award-winning dialect coach based in New York City.

She teaches accents and dialects to performers, and American English speech and diction to non-performers.

If you’re a producer or director, she’ll guide your cast in creating a consistent vocal world in support of your production.

If you’re a performing artist, she’ll help you hone your ability to “suit the word to the action.”

If you work in another field, she’ll help you develop a readily understandable speech that improves your chances of employment or promotion.
