WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS VIA VIDEO CONFERENCING.  DialectsCoach.com has for years used Video Conferencing as an alternate way to provide coaching services to clients who are too remote for in-studio work.  In the interest of safety during the Corona Virus emergency, until further notice, all dialect, accent reduction, and audition coaching are offered only via video conferencing.  Read further on this page to find out how easy it is to use video conferencing.
​It's easy, it works, and most importantly it's safe.
