Producer & Director Consultations
Language and accent are not just technical details—they're powerful storytelling tools.
Used skillfully, they deepen authenticity, shape character, and enhance audience immersion. And when aligned with your production goals, they can also contribute to stronger critical reception and box office performance.
As a Linguistic Strategist, I offer expert guidance to help ensure that every accent, dialect, and language element in your project supports the story—and resonates with the audience. From early development to final cut, I’m here to help your production sound as good as it looks.
Linguistic Script Consultation
Hourly and Project based rates, Starting at $2,000 USD
A Linguistic Script Consultation is one of the most strategic investments you can make for your production. I created this service over a decade ago to give producers a clear, proactive way to manage all the linguistic elements in a script—before those details become expensive problems on set or in post.
Each consultation includes a comprehensive, scene-by-scene analysis of the script, focusing on:
Character accents and dialects – including sociolinguistic context, casting implications, and training needs
Colloquial, idiomatic, and culturally specific language – with guidance on clarity, appropriateness, and regional accuracy
Non-English or multilingual dialogue – with recommendations for pronunciation, translation, and dialect coaching
Potential linguistic inconsistencies – flagged for narrative clarity, character coherence, or audience accessibility
You’ll receive a professionally written report that:
Identifies all accent and language needs across characters and scenes
Recommends practical solutions for coaching, casting, and cultural consultation
Highlights areas that may require additional budgeting, prep time, or expert support
Equips your team—casting, production, and post—with a shared linguistic roadmap
This isn’t just about accuracy. It’s about helping your story land with authenticity—and giving your production the clarity and control to get there smoothly.
Casting Support
Hourly, Daily, and Project-Based Rates, starting at $1,050 USD
Great accent work starts with informed casting. Once the linguistic report is complete, I collaborate with your Casting Director to:
Create precise, compelling character breakdowns that attract talent with relevant accent skills
Provide accent training materials to auditioning actors so they can deliver authentic reads
Evaluate auditions for accent accuracy and performance flexibility—keeping your coaching budget focused and effective
Actor Accent Prep (Pre-Production)
Hourly and Project-Based Rates - starting at $1,050 USD
I offer flexible, high-level coaching for your cast—via Zoom or in person—designed to prepare them for performance with clarity and confidence. Whether working with lead, ensemble, or supporting cast, I tailor sessions to the needs of the project and the actor’s experience level.
When additional expertise is required, I can bring in trusted professionals from my global network of vetted dialect coaches, language teachers, and cultural consultants.
On-Set & Remote Production Coaching
Half-Day, Daily, Weekly, and Project-Based Rates, starting at $800 USD
Need support during production? I can serve as your primary linguistics professional or coordinate a team of specialists—including dialect coaches, cultural consultants, and language experts—onsite or remotely.
Services include:
Daily actor voice and accent prep
Real-time coaching before and between takes if needed
Easy-to-reference accent notes for editors so it’s easy to the best accent takes during post-production
ADR Accent Coaching
Hourly, Daily, and Project-Based Rates, starting at $1,050 USD
When scenes require re-recording, accent accuracy can easily slip. I offer targeted refresher coaching to help actors quickly reconnect with the vocal placement, rhythm, and emotional tone of their original performance.
Whether attending ADR sessions in person or remotely, I work closely with actors, directors, and engineers to ensure redubbed lines match the intended accent and preserve narrative cohesion.
In addition, I consult on ADR workflows involving AI-generated voice or speech edits—providing expert guidance on accent accuracy, linguistic authenticity, and ethical considerations. This ensures that all final vocal elements, whether human or AI-assisted, support the story with integrity.
Confidentiality & Professionalism
I’ve worked with high-profile talent and studio productions for over two decades and prioritize discretion and trust in every collaboration. In fact, I was the first dialect coach in the industry to routinely offer NDAs to clients who didn’t already have them—something I still proudly provide today.
Your actors’ privacy and your project’s integrity are protected every step of the way.
