Jonathan Bank, Mint Theater Company: Not only is she well prepared, thorough and a patient instructor, but our directors have found her to be a terrific collaborator because of her great comprehension of the needs of the plays. And the results have been outstanding. Amy is the only person I call for dialect work.
Gideon Lester, American Repertory Theatre: Amy is a superb Dialect Coach. She helped the actress Anna Deavere Smith create more than thirty distinct dialects for her play Let Me Down Easy, and did so with great care and attention to detail. She’s a wonderful team player, and a delightful person to have around. I recommend her without hesitation.
Martin L. Platt, Director, The Daughter-in-Law: Amy Stoller turned five New Yorkers into residents of a mining town in Britain's Erewash valley for my production of D. H. Lawrence’s The Daughter-in-Law – making an impenetrable dialect a seamless part of the actors – and comprehensible! Five Stars!
Gus Kaikkonen, Peterborough Players: Amy Stoller is an excellent dialect coach, dedicated and detail oriented. Her work on my productions of The Madras House, The Voysey Inheritance, I Have Been Here Before, The Charity That Began at Home, and Educating Rita contributed mightily to their success.
Tim Errickson, Boomerang Theatre Company: Amy is a terrific Dialect Coach, and we have worked with her for four seasons. Hopefully we will work with her much more in the future.
Cailin Heffernan, Director, Beyond the Horizon: Thank you for the marvelous work that you did with Ron. The prep that you sent him made the hour you coached him pay off in spades. You made my actor feel comfortable and secure in creating his character.
Brooke Brod, Director, One Good Beating: What I appreciated most about Amy’s approach was her ability to tailor the work to the actors, to build upon the actors’ strengths and techniques. She instills confidence as well as skill.
Mari Lyn Henry, Talent Manager/Career Coach; Co-Author, How to Be a Working Actor: You are a force of nature doing the good work.
Mary McDonald-Lewis, Voice Actor and Dialect Coach: I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all you do for the speech & voice community, and specifically to say thanks for the resources you most recently provided me. Your passion for this art, craft, and science are evident and contagious, and I want you to be sure you know the level of excellence you are both contributing to, and encouraging in others. You are appreciated. Many thanks once more!
BettyAnn Leeseberg-Lange, Voice/Speech/Dialect/Text Coach; Founding Member, Voice and Speech Trainers Association: Amy Stoller’s research skills and creative teaching enable those who are her clients and those who are her colleagues to trust her insights, wisdom and practicality, not to mention her sense of humor. We are blessed to have her in the voice trainer profession.
