Accent training
A specialty close to her heart, Natasha is an accent trainer and phonology expert. She pioneered and headed the Training and Development team in Prana Studios (Mumbai and L.A.) where the focus was on teaching animators and artists alike the art of communication and lip sync. Having trained individuals from all walks of life and several corporations over two decades, and studied the art of acting herself, she feels like the actor really benefits from this sort of training.
Drawing from her work as a trauma-sensitive yoga therapist, somatic-based and language teacher, she explores the undeniable connection of breath and expression that links all of the above categories together. She understands the imminent need for practicing technique in breath, in articulation and being able to apply it in order to become a lucid and eloquent speaker. Having also studied the art of acting herself, she is able to comprehend the demands of this profession and create a practical and effective syllabus for the actor to upgrade his or her skills and achieve more.
These trainings are for you if
- You are struggling with lip sync and dubbing for your character in studios
- You need to learn the American or British accent for an audition, a role on camera or on stage
- You want to neutralize your accent and work on reducing hard, regional sounds and improve your diction so that you can upgrade your skills and increase your scope of work and opportunity
Testimonials
Natasha is the most wonderful, patient teacher I have ever met who tailor makes your learning process based on your pace and timelines. For someone who was very inhibited trying new accents, she has definitely helped me find confidence in my own ability to do so. The classes feel less like work and more like talking to a friend who is helping you figure stuff out.
