Hi. I'm a dialect coach for actors in TV & film. When I'm not on set,
I work privately with clients to help them integrate good acting with good dialect work, which is both a technical & emotional process. Read the New York Times Magazine piece about my work, watch this super fun interview I did on Youtube & listen to my interview with Slate. I'm currently working on Hunters season 2, and features Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret and Borderlands. I recently wrapped on Red Notice, the first big-budget American film to shoot during the pandemic, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and my client Gal Gadot.
I'm also a speech coach for people in politics, business, tech, and creative fields who are looking to feel more confident in their speaking voice & delivery — because how we share our vision matters as much as what it is, and I want you to have the tools to move your audience & change the world. More here.
Listen to my podcast all about how we speak & start changing the way you think about your voice now.
I've coached American & international actors including Rachel McAdams, Pierce Brosnan, Gal Gadot,
Ricky Martin, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rosie O'Donnell, Miles Teller, Keegan-Michael Key, and Penelope Cruz, and on projects for Marvel, DC, HBO, Showtime, ABC, TNT, FOX, BBC, Apple, Amazon, & Netflix.
Some recent film & television I've coached:
“Samara’s great fun & was completely dedicated to helping me sound perfect & feel comfortable in the role. She has the knack for knowing exactly when and how to communicate.
I would recommend her to anybody.”
