Shakespeare • Language • Dialects
Every so often, a feature article will appear about me in a brochure, a study guide, or a newspaper inquiring what it's like to be a voice, text, and dialect coach. Here are examples from the Everyman Theatre in Baltimore, MD; Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington, DC; two from the Shakespeare Theatre Company, also in Washington, DC; Westword, a newspaper magazine in Denver, CO; the Folger Shakespeare Theatre; and the Chautauqua Institute in New York. Following those, there are selected newspaper and online magazine reviews mentioning my work. Usually, I'd prefer no mention at all; because, if I'm doing it well then the language and dialect work is imperceptible at the conscious level. Still, critics are there to discern and evaluate, and it's always nice when they feel that the work I do has hit the right note.
