There are no specific college degree requirements to become a dialect coach for film and television…
But….
There are many skills and personality traits that dialect coaches must have in order to be effective at their jobs.
Effective dialect coaches matter because every word spoken on screen can either enhance the story or take away from it, and actors careers can be made or broken by accent performances.
This is why Entertainment Linguistics LLC, our parent company, was the first to develop a proprietary vetting process for dialect coaches.
We vet our dialect coaches thoroughly so that there are no unpleasant, costly, or performance-ruining surprises for producers or actors.
If you are looking for a dialect coach for your project, or are considering becoming a dialect coach yourself, there are many skills and personality traits that are essential for a career as a professional dialect coach, and we are happy to help you find the right one for you.
