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.

accents & dialects for stage & screen

 

Whether you want a quick fix for an audition, a reliable guide for an upcoming show, or in-depth work on your accent/dialect repertoire, I can help you reach your goal.

A partial list of accents and dialects I have worked on can be found here.

Overall career concerns? If an identifiably “foreign” or regional accent is restricting your castability, I can work with you to develop a “professional” American speech that is readily intelligible: minimizing potentially distracting characteristics, and maximizing the ease and flexibility that full dramatic expression requires.

performing artists

Do you have an identifiably “foreign” or regional accent that restricts your castability? Are you troubled by rehearsal or performance notes about your intelligibility?

 

others

Do others find you hard to understand? Do you often have to repeat yourself to make your meaning clear? Is your speech keeping you from employment or advancement opportunities?

 

Have you ever been asked to work on:

 

  • Accent elimination (improvement, modification, neutralization, reduction)
  • American accent (diction, English, pronunciation)
  • Diction improvement
  • Speech clarity
  •  

    If an identifiably “foreign” or regional accent is hindering your employment or promotion, I can work with you to develop an appropriate speech pattern that is readily intelligible: minimizing potentially distracting characteristics, and maximizing clarity of expression.
