Claudette Roche – The Accent Coach, Accent/Dialect Coach, Foreign Accents, Accent Reduction

CHINESE ACTOR JESSE WANG

“I am the Chinese Helen Keller and Claudette is my Miracle Worker”.

Jesse Wang is an amazing actor. This year, he has 2 films opening, Dumpling and Hollywood Sex Wars. Jesse’s only road block is his beautiful Chinese accent, as he hails from Shanghai. He wants the opportunity to audition for American roles and that is the path we are on. And let me say, this path is strong and the end of the path is Main Street, USA.

Jesse’s recent “win” is his performing a scene using his Standard American accent for his acting coach and fellow actors. His coach is the renowned Tim Phillips, acting coach to Justin Timberlake, Justin Chatwin and Wendy Mallick, just to name-drop a few.

This following is the testimonial written by Jesse Wang.

Over the years, I have gone from one coach to another without achieving any significant results with the standard American accent. Before I went to Claudette, I was so frustrated that I almost thought I was “unfixable” and I almost believed it when someone told me I had “speech impediments”.

My acting coach, Tim Phillips, referred Claudette to me. I trust him, so I went. Only after a few sessions with Claudette, my speech has become so clear, so is my confidence! I recently did a scene in class using my new accent and Tim Phillips was wowed. He was so thrilled to hear the difference.

My only regret is that I didn’t find Claudette years ago!”

I love his passion and am thrilled to be a part of his team.
