Accent Modification | Dialect Coaching | Voice Training | MDH Breathing Coordination

For over 20 years, Rob has coached actors and business executives in dialect work, accent modification, breathing coordination, voice training and vocal rejuvenation. Rob also provides vocal and dialect support to film, TV and theatrical productions.

As the founder of Hollywood Dialect Coach, Rob has also coached actors on more than 40 dialects and accents as he prepares them for auditions and for the stage and screen.  He creates an individualized approach and plan to empower the actor to take ownership of his/her/their process.

Rob collaborates with each actor and delivers a multi-faceted and flexible approach, so he/she/they are able to connect to both their character and dialect seamlessly. By calling upon his expertise in acting, directing, vocal anatomy and breathing coordination, Rob delivers a dialect roadmap that instills confidence in the actor and ignites truth and dimension to the actor’s character.

Does your actor need accent modification or specific dialect for a role?


Rob works with talent during pre-production, on-set or in the theater and in post-production (ADR).  He tailors his program to fit the needs to the actor and aligns the actor’s work with the vision of director or producer. 

Many professionals have come to Rob because they are tired of having to repeat themselves countless times in the office, out with friends, or even at Starbucks. Before working with Rob, many have complained that they were passed over for promotions or extra assignments on account of their accent or unpolished English.

MDH BREATHING COORDINATION

What is MDH Breathing Coordination? In short, it’s a way of restoring optimal function to the breathing and vocal mechanisms.  It does so via amplifying and harmonizing the movements of the diaphragm with the surrounding structures. The technique also helps to restore, develop and maintain optimal efficiency of alignment and breathing for peak performance in all activities in human life, from common to high intensity. This very precise work gives us more stamina, richness and suppleness in the voice. Breathing Coordination has been indispensable to countless musicians, actors, lecturers and singers.

TESTIMONIALS

“Rob is much more than a dialect coach. He provides tools and guidance on how to align my breathing to my voice and to my acting so I can focus on the work.” ​
“Working with Rob to prepare for auditions has helped give me the confidence to put the ‘work’ out of my mind in the room and ultimately book the job. His coaching style is warm and kind. He meets you where you are, which is really helpful to those of us who haven’t revisited IPA that recently.”
“I’ve been to so many accent coaches in Los Angeles and New York, and they tend to over-emphasize the science behind the accent which I personally find to be confusing and extra work for nothing. Working with Rob made things simple, comprehensive and easy to learn. I’ve been working with him for years now and I will continue to do so for many more. I highly, highly recommend him!!”
