ACTORS
Want to learn accents in a fun and stress free way, without getting in a twist over phonetics and without every drop of acting ability evaporating in the process?
Want a reliable approach to accent work that won’t leave you stuck in your head, glued to the page or agonizing over every syllable?
Want to feel just as comfortable acting in a new accent as you do in your own? Maybe even more so?
“Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else for an accent coach; Maeve is as good as they come. Professional, fun and engaging. She makes what can seem like very difficult, technical work into an easy, stress-free experience, without compromising at all on results.”
“Working with Maeve gave me the confidence to improvise in a different accent - no mean feat! She was recommended to me by another actor and I can see why. ”

Why not free yourself from the pre-casting-panic, delight your agent and throw open the doors to countless casting opportunities?
Over the years I have helped hundreds of actors build new, healthier and happier relationships with their accent work.
By cutting through the confusing theory, giving you the tools to master the new sounds and shapes and helping you marry it all to your acting work, I’ll help you take the seemingly mammoth task of getting fluent in a new accent and transform it into easily do-able, bite-sized chunks.
“After leaving drama school I always felt daunted by accent work when a quick turnaround was involved. Since working with Maeve, I’ve discovered a process which is not only quicker to the mark but much more practical, specific, fun and freeing! It’s out of your head and into your body. I now feel so excited to continue exploring accent work in a way that simply doesn’t get taught at drama school and by other accent coaches.
Maeve really is a Diamond!! ”
“I’ve already been recommending Maeve to all my
actor mates. The improvement I’ve noticed is incredible. Yes, there’s always work to do to keep it ticking over… but Maeve’s given me homework to ensure that happens”
“I really love & appreciate Maeve’s specificity & precision. I had worked with two dialect coaches before who were frustratingly vague. Maeve is great at identifying what isn’t working and helping me to understand why as well as explaining how to make it better.”
“Maeve’s sessions are always enjoyable, but more importantly they are always concise. I don’t have a great ear for accents but Maeve gives me the skills and confidence I need, so I can get on with the acting.”
