As a Dialect Coach NYC, Shane Ann is available for working on a film or television script, sides for a scene or monologues for an audition. After moving through the vowel and consonant changes for your particular dialect, she will help you find the rhythm and intonation patterns of that dialect.
You will also discuss the openness of the jaw, the tongue position and the relaxation or tension in the lips. In addition she will give you specific resources where you can listen to people speaking in that dialect. Also you will learn vocal exercises that will give you flexibility for these new sounds.
Using a precise dialect can inform how the character stands, moves and relates to the other characters in the film or play. Once you have worked on the dialect you may find new interpretations of the character.
If you would like to know more about one on one or work privately with Shane Ann as a Dialect Coach NYC, please contact her.

Dialect Coach NYC Testimonials
“I call Shane Ann for voice and speech coaching when I have auditions for films as well as television. We have worked on everything including eliminating my original accent (I’m from the Appalachian region) to clarifying the ideas in the text, to working on an English dialect. I have gotten a call-back or have been hired to do the role for every script we have worked on. ”
“Trust her with your creative life. Her voice and speech coaching didn’t just help me with the words written by others, it helped me deliver my own writing (jokes, solo shows) better. I can take really bad text (never mine, always others!) and make it look like human life. She taught me to mine the text and to surface with diamonds. If words and communication are your thing, Shane-Ann will “get” you for she, like you, is an artist. Verbally, she was the Yoda to my Luke. Wax on, Shane-Ann!”
“The walls of the theatres around the country reverberate with the exercises I learned from Shane Ann’s Voice and Speech Coaching because at around 6:30pm I retreat to some dark corner of the house and do my Younts exercises. Without this warm-up I would be lost. But it goes beyond preparing myself to do the best job I can do on any given night. I am happy to have Shane Ann in my pocket and to have her expertise in my memory and to have the privilege of counting her good taste and good notes and good spirit among my influences.”
