Accent and Dialect Coaching

Getting the accent right is one of the most important steps in developing a role - it conveys identity, background, and helps you gain a stronger understanding of character

​

Megan’s dialect coaching supports actors across a variety of performance disciplines to bring these dimensions to life.

 

Each session is shaped around the individual performer. Whether preparing for an audition, refining a long-term accent skillset, or maintaining precision throughout the rehearsal and performance period, Megan provides targeted, practical guidance inspired by both performance craft and speech science.

 

Her coaching goes beyond surface level imitation: it’s about understanding sound, rhythm, and movement in the mouth - and how those choices shape character and intention.  She has over ten years of knowledge of the phonetic systems that create the differences in our accents and utilises this technical knowledge in her sessions to help guide a performer.

 

Megan’s own background in theatre and public speaking informs a creative, collaborative approach that respects both the art and the anatomy of voice. She believes an actor’s natural speech pattern is an asset, not something to overwrite - and that working with this will help reach the most natural performance possible.

 

If you’d like to discuss a project, role preparation, or ongoing dialect support, Megan welcomes enquiries from individuals, production companies, and training institutions.
