Actors Accent Coach Sarah Valentine Reviews 

Sarah was very quick responding and fulfilling my request. She went over and above what she was required to do. She was helping me do a Northern Ireland accent it really helped. Would definitely recommend her to any one needing help with accents.

Sarah was incredibly helpful with my RP accent audition prep. She helped me really understand the accent, not just imitate it, and gave me so much more confidence going into the audition process. She was encouraging, clear, and wonderful to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and would highly recommend her coaching.

Sarah’s General American accent class was one of the most useful and enjoyable accent sessions I’ve ever taken. She has an incredible ear for detail and a brilliant way of explaining placement, rhythm, and sound changes in a way that feels clear and immediately practical.

What really stood out to me was how supportive and encouraging she was throughout the class. She created a relaxed environment that made it easy to experiment and improve quickly.

I left the session with a much stronger understanding of the General American accent and, more importantly, with tools I can continue applying in my own work. Sarah is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also genuinely engaging and inspiring as a teacher. I would highly recommend her classes to any actor wanting to improve their accent work.

Sarah was absolutely top notch both times I have needed her so far! Her flexibility is second to none. Even when she was abroad and ill she found the time to slot me in and gave incredible sessions. She really makes you feel comfortable and explains the sounds so effortlessly without over complicating anything!

I started with very little knowledge of the Scottish accent to being quite comfortable slipping into it. Thank you Sarah!! Could not recommend her enough.

Sarah was so helpful for my daughter and broke everything down in a way she could understand. We also loved that the session was recorded so we can easily go back and reference all the tips, voice memos and notes she gave us. Thank you Sarah!

It's an absolute honour to have 1.1. Voice Coaching for the southern accent with Sarah. She is incredibly smart and makes it both fun and challenging to learn.

Sarah is thorough and picks up on every tiny aspect and, for me, this is so important to get it right, over time.

I like the fact the coaching is recorded and I can play it back when doing my homework and Sarah can record lines and adds extra support on her portal online, which helps me. She is fun, professional and friendly.

Highly recommend and especially, if you are new at learning accents like me or newish in learning acting or taking classes.

Sarah Valentine excels as an accent instructor. Her inviting and encouraging spirit immediately put me at ease, allowing me to experiment with various English accents. I aimed to soften my German accent to adopt a more British or neutral tone. The most significant change is my newfound ease during impromptu performances in different English accents, where I now feel assured, expressive, and liberated. Sarah’s technique not only enhanced my pronunciation but also broadened my appreciation for the diverse patterns of English spoken globally. Her teaching approach turns mastering accents into an enjoyable experience. I highly endorse her services.

Sarah was so encouraging and so helpful in every way. I would highly recommend her for accent coaching. She helped me with my American accent, not only through our one-to-one zoom session, but also through writing out my problem words phonetically and sending me a YouTube link to our session. She also did a tape for me of my lines. She is amazing and I am definitely going to book another session with her.

Sarah Valentine is an exceptional accent coach.
Her warmth and positive energy instantly made me feel safe to explore and play with different English accents. My goal was to neutralise my natural German accent and sound more British or neutral. The biggest shift is that I no longer freeze when I’m asked to improvise in different English accents. I feel confident, expressive, and free. Sarah’s approach not only improved my speech but also deepened my understanding of the many different English-speaking rhythms around the world. Her method makes learning accents joyful. Highly recommended.

Where do I start??
Sarah is such a great teacher for my son and she makes him feel so confident, and really knows how to guide him through difficult scripts.
She is able to provide a full breakdown of the session and where to improve.
Her communication is exceptional and is really flexible when things change like they do.
The self guides are really useful.
We have become good friends and very approachable, and alway look forward to seeing her.
I would highly recommend.

I booked in with Sarah a few days before filming a small role that required an English accent. Even though the part was small, I wanted to be fully prepared so my performance wouldn’t be affected by uncertainty around the accent.

Sarah was absolutely lovely to work with! Incredibly skilled and patient. Her ear for accents is wild, but what stood out most was her ability to break down the technique and help me find it naturally within my own voice.

The session gave me real confidence going into set, and I’d recommend her to any actor wanting to sharpen their accent work or prep for a role.

My 11yo daughter really enjoyed her first accent lesson with Sarah, which is amazing because she has struggled a lot with accent work and really didn't enjoy it previously. It was nice to hear her laugh so much during the lesson and come out of it smiling! Thank you, Sarah, for your lovely approach.

Sarah is absolutely brilliant! I came in to the session, not sure whether I could ever learn a new accent, but in such a short time she completely changed my perspective! She instantly put me at ease and tailored the method to suit my needs. She truly listens, adapts her approach, and make the process so enjoyable and effective.

As a non-native speaker, I never thought accents could feel accessible to me, but now I genuinely believe I can learn them. I feel far more confident, and accents don't seem nearly as daunting anymore.

I highly recommend Sarah to anyone wanting to learn a new accent, whether it's for an acting role, like in my case, or for any other reason. Sarah will absolutely get you there!

It was so helpful. It made me recognize things about the American accent that I had totally overlooked. A great buy!
