Reference from Maxine Peake -Actor
I have worked with Natalie as a Dialect coach on several occasions. She is my go to dialect coach of choice. We have tackled accents such as Liverpool, North Walean, Scottish and German.Each time I have seen quick and consistent results.
No accent is out of bounds for Natalie. She makes great informed choices relating to your character and is a stickler for detail.
Diction and understandability are key in her work. She works hard and is very thorough.
On set she is a joy. She will remain in the ‘background’ until needed. She never forces herself upon a situation. Natalie is sensitive to the workings of a set and also the pressures actors are under.
I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Extremely actor friendly, considerate and a true professional.
