ACCENT AND LANAGUAGE COACHING FOR FOREIGN-BORN ACTORS

THE TOP 3 REASONS WHY STEVEN STANLEY IS YOUR #1 CHOICE FOR AMERICAN ACCENT TRAINING ... AND MORE.

1 CUSTOMIZED AMERICAN ACCENT LESSONS TO SUIT YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

Drawing on over four decades of teaching English to international students in Los Angeles and abroad, I will customize accent reduction materials to suit your individual needs based on your native language and your current proficiency level. With me, each of you is different and deserves an approach that is just right for you!

2 EXTENSIVE SCENE AND MONOLOG WORK

Once you have begun correcting the basic pronunciation errors you may not even be aware you are making, we will start working on acting scenes and monologs so that you can put what you have learned into practice. 

I will make absolutely sure you understand each scene or monolog’s vocabulary, idioms, and slang because if you don’t know precisely what your character is saying, you won’t do the role justice.

I will also draw on my experience as a stage actor and my 17 years of reviewing Los Angeles theater at StageSceneLA.com to ensure you give the best possible performance no matter what role you are playing.

3 ACTING CLASS AND AUDITION PREP

Are you taking an acting class? Do you have an audition to prepare?

If so, I will give you the tools you need in order to do your best work in class or before a camera or casting director.

Whenever you have an audition between coaching sessions, simply email me the sides and I’ll not only record your character’s lines with a standard American accent, I’ll also record the other character’s lines so you won’t need to look for a reader when taping your auditions. (There’s no extra charge for this.)

Here's what some of the professional actors I’ve worked with have to say about my accent and language coaching.
