Ros Simmons
Experienced Accent Coach and Dialect Coach
Hello! I am an accent coach and dialect coach based in London.
As an accent coach I work frequently with both foreign speakers and British speakers who are keen to reduce their accent sounds and improve pronunciation and delivery.
As a dialect coach I specialise in teaching accents and dialects to professional actors for film, TV, theatre and commercials.
I also coach professionals who wish to build vocal confidence and improve their presentation skills.
Here’s what some of my Accent coaching clients say…
“I was lucky enough to work with Ros on various aspects of my performance when I was struggling to get the projection I wanted for some TV shopping work. She taught me how to correct my posture and use my voice in a way that projected my personality much much more. This was revolutionary and the results meant the audience could connect with me more and my confidence grew. It has completely changed my approach to public speaking and reduced my fear of doing this type of work.”
“I found it very helpful. My Line Manager even commented on the improvement in my voice, so thanks for all your help.”
“You provided me with the tools and techniques to fix some key areas and helped me to present in a much more relaxed, confident and professional way…it was also a lot of fun!”
Here’s what some of my Dialect coaching clients say…
“I have always felt confident after being coached by Ros. She is an excellent teacher who I have enjoyed working with on numerous movies and television productions.”
“Thank you for a wonderful session with the dialect work. You have a very relaxed approach and made the actors feel safe and willing to play. It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
“Every cast member in this ensemble piece caught the subtle cadences of the North Carolina dialect.”
