Matt Simandl

My name is Matt Simandl and I am an Actor, Elocution Teacher and Accent Coach teaching elocution, accent softening/accent reduction and accents/dialects. I teach mainly one to one and currently online only due to the current climate

At the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, I received actor, voice and speech training. There, I did a great deal of accent/dialect  and elocution work. In addition to my acting work, since leaving the school in 2008, I have been coaching people in accents/dialects and elocution and passing on what I have learnt myself.

I coach non native speakers in elocution and actors for any accent work they require for auditions or projects in TV, Film, Theatre and Radio. 

Each person I coach goes away from my sessions feeling more confident in their accent work and indeed achieving their goals of being proficient in a new sound.
