Accent Coaching
I use an embodied approach to accent coaching. Accents are physical behaviors, so we develop your awareness of how your speech muscles shape sound so that you can easily shift from one accent to another and feel your way into it, without relying on the sometimes faulty ear or constantly needing an accent coach to tell you that you are doing it right. My approach is heavily influenced by Knight-Thompson Speechwork® and the ‘How to Do Accents’ method by Edda Sharpe and Jan Haydn Rowles.
Who is Accent Coaching For?
Actors who need to take on other accents as part of their work or anyone who feels like they’d like to find more clarity or authenticity in their accent when speaking in a foreign language. While I enjoy coaching anyone in any accent, I have a specialty in working with British actors on their General American accents.
I offer virtual and in-person private sessions, group classes and workshops. Please be in touch if you’d like more information or to book a session.
“Christine’s American accent classes have been invaluable lessons for me. She has provided me with the tools to access this accent easily and seamlessly. Her approach to this accent isn’t about tricks or quick fixes but how to own this accent in your own voice in a way you will never forget! I now feel very confident and ready to perform the general American accent as a professional actor!”

"I joined Christine's accent coaching to really perfect my General American as this particular accent is super important to have nailed if you want to be a versatile Actress. I can’t believe the confidence Christine gave me from just four weeks of sessions. Not only with the safe space she created but also the fact that the accent was learnt deep inside my vocal posture so that I actually feel like it's my voice doing this accent. The precision and clarity given in all her feedback has ensured that each sound I now make in General American is truthful to this accent. I couldn’t recommend Christine enough! Plus its always nice to have a giggle when learning something new 😊"

"Christine is my absolute go to for accent work, especially General American. She’s a real master at pin pointing exactly where the issues lie and feeding them back to you with simple solutions to those said issues. It’s incredibly constructive. I leave a session with Christine feeling confident and ready to bring the character off the page."

"Christine is not only pure joy to
work with, but she really is pure
genius! I have always struggled
with confidence when it comes to
my American accent as I couldn't
work out why it just didn't sound
right, but after just one lesson,
Christine has helped me
understand exactly what it was
that was troubling me and by the
end of the hour I had completely
transformed my sound. I love how comfortable Christine made me feel in
this session and how she personalised the
approach to the accent to my specific needs. I now feel equipped with the appropriate skills I
need to approach the American accent."
