Testimonials
"Sammi Grant was an invaluable pleasure to work with as the dialect coach on the World Premiere of "Mahal" at Bailiwick Chicago. She taught Filipino dialects, and native speakers and their offspring in the audience found it to be entirely on point.”
-Erica Weiss, Director
"Sammi has an extraordinary ear and a sure touch when working with actors. She understands how to present actors with useful, concrete notes that lead to successful performances. I greatly enjoyed working alongside her on the Timeline production of Inana.”
- Eva Breneman, Dialect Coach
"Sammi Grant is the BEST dialect coach I have ever worked with! I’m usually very self-conscious when I learn an accent, but Sammi is a kind, respectful, & encouraging coach! Her positive attitude, detailed guide about the accent, helpful example sources, and ability to break it down in a way that is accessible to all is AMAZING!!! After working with Sammi, I am now confident and excited to learn as many accents as I can! Cheers to my new favorite coach!”
