About Miranda

I am an award winning American actress, with three TV series regular roles, in my early LA career. I’ve lived the last 25 years overseas and I speak 3 languages well, and a couple others, laughingly. From 1998-2000 I co-founded and project managed the set up a Holistic Primary School in England. And I’ve now returned to my US acting career, having worked on productions in France, Netherlands, Romania, and England, with a 3rd award winning film since 2015, touring the indie film festival circuit.

Dialect coaching gives the actor the tools needed to successfully act in a General American (GenAm) dialect, with the option for numerous regional American dialects.



Accent Reduction gives the ESL actor, public speaker, or business person, the tools needed to connect, internationally, in a progressively diverse world market.

When I signed with a boutique talent agency in London, they asked me to coach their clients on American Dialects. I loved it and so did they. Thus my practice was born!



I have extensive training and experience over a 30 year+ career. 

My training started in the degree program at UC Santa Barbara. I have a very good ear and I speak a few languages. I’ve lived in several countries and I know intimately that portraying a character with a dialect other than one’s own, requires cultural and physical changes as well as a transformation of sound and rhythm.

After our initia two hour session, I build an organic tailored session to suit your specific needs, along a guideline of course work that assures you create a firm foundation to play from.

We'll work on the main tongue, lip and mouth positions on all of the key vowel and consonant shifts of the target dialect.

We will practice accurate speech, intonation, rhythm patterns particular to each target dialect.

You will receive 14 pages of course material for an 8 week GenAm basic program, for practice and refinement.

And much more.



All of my students have been actors wanting to either gain command of GenAm or ESL students wanting to reduce their accent when speaking English. 



Personal, in depth, specific coaching is the fastest way to master a dialect. If money is short, start by using online resources to practice. Once you feel you’re ‘pretty good’ then book a series of coaching sessions with a pro, to make sure that your own personal quirks are tagged and addressed. 



I love the neat sexy little web series, Mirrors, that we filmed in London, with me doing an English dialect. We’re just waiting to hear about funding for the next 8 episodes! It’s hilarious!



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
As with any new skill, identify your goal and commit to it.

If your goal is to simply feel more comfortable auditioning for a role with a different dialect, then GenAm is a good place to start.

If you wish to nail a specific audition piece after you’ve accomplished a GenAm sound pallet, then we will focus on that dialect for that audition, specifically. 

If you are an ESL public speaker or business manager and you would love to communicate with a crowd of diverse native langauge speakers, then we focus on reducing your accent. 

Once you are willing to commit to your goal, book the sessions and dive in!
