Entertainment Linguistics

When representation matters, accent matters

Make sure that the language, accent and other cultural aspects of a project respectfully portray the communities that are represented in your project.

Don’t wait for problems to arise

When your project is greenlighted, let us guide you in effectively harnessing the power of respectful language, accent and cultural representation.

Linguistics Strategy

Budgeting and planning for your talent's accent and language training doesn't have to be frustrating. We help you pinpoint the relevant linguistic elements of your project so you can avoid costly surprises.

We provide clear reports that help you understand which accent and language research and training options are the best solutions for your project, and will work with you to strategize the most cost-effective plan possible. 

We make sure you can easily stay on top of every linguistic detail, resulting in vastly improved actor performances and the avoidance of many costly and often less effective on set and ADR 'fixes.'

PRoduction Accent coaching

Accent coaching is highly collaborative, so the right linguistics skills are only the beginning. Your dialect coach must also be a good fit for the way your key talent and head creatives like to work.

We know entertainment linguistics better than anyone, because we pioneered the field. We know that accent coaching entails far more than ‘being good at accents’ - they must also be a valuable team member. Tell us about your project and we will connect you with the right accent coach for your project, your actors, and your production team.

Translation Services

Today's projects are meant for a global audience so when it comes to translation services, accuracy and authenticity are more important than ever.

Most translation services mainly handle legal documents. This can lead to stiff and stilted dialogue translation.

Let us connect you with the linguistic professionals who have the experience needed to make sure your translations are accurate, culturally sensitive, and above all, actable.

Accent Casting Support

Join the growing number of producers and casting directors who rely on our coaches to bring peace of mind to casting accent roles.

From accent targeting materials delivered remotely, to finessing accent descriptions in breakdowns, to in-room accent performance vetting, your casting director can have unparalleled linguistics support in talent selection, and your talent will arrive to set ready to give their best performance.

Pre-PRoduction Talent prep

Speech is a complex psycho-physical process, so for effective performances, actors must have their accent prep complete prior to shooting. 

Regular online sessions with one of our carefully selected dialect coaches are a convenient and cost effective way for your talent to get the coaching they need no matter where they are, starting as early as the first day they are cast.

non-disclosure

We take your privacy very seriously.

Be secure in knowing that your project details are safe, and your high profile talent is in good hands.

Every dialect coach, accent model, language teacher and translator we work with understand the importance of non-disclosure agreements and the discretion necessary to protect your privacy and that of your high profile talent.
