She was a true member of the team and an enthusiastic supporter of the show and each and every one of us."

    — Julie Ahasay, Director

  • “Lauren made accent work feel approachable for me. I first worked with her while understudying Percy in The Spitfire Grill. Despite the difference in level between me and the other actor, Lauren helped me feel comfortable with the accent and gave me the agency and space to experiment with it and the script until I found a rhythm that worked for me… she taught me how to teach myself accents from a place of compassion and respect for the cultures I would be representing.”

    — Katherine Warmka, Actor/Director

  • “I loved how Lauren’s teaching imparted loads of information via play and practical use. [It was] was both incredibly fun and incredibly good practice for practical accent work. I also appreciate that she approaches teaching with a huge amount of awareness. Things like asking us to consider our own biases and always leading with kindness show that she puts her money where her mouth is when it comes to learning from actors…”

    — John Toven, Actor/Musician

  • "It was a joy to have Lauren as a professor. She was kind and understanding but simultaneously she always had high expectations for us. In effect, we each pushed ourselves as artists because we began to adopt Lauren’s high standards for ourselves. She is organized and well articulated and she brings a wonderful sense of humor and play to the classroom. It was a wonderful experience learning from her and I would do it again and again if I was given the opportunity!"

    — Zsofi Eastvold, Actor/Dancer

  • "Lauren is an incredible dialect coach. She helped me prepare for an audition that required a Czech accent, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From the very first session, she came in fully prepared with an impressive array of resources—everything from slowed-down recordings of native speakers to clear explanations of vocal posture. Her philosophy of speech is so grounded and thoughtful, rooted in research and an understanding of the real people behind the dialect. As an actor, that gave me so much to work with and made the accent feel alive and embodied, not just something technical to 'get right.' Beyond her skill and knowledge, Lauren is just a joy to work with. She's endlessly patient, encouraging, and genuinely kind. Her feedback is always helpful and constructive, and her passion for what she does is contagious. I walked into that audition feeling confident, well-prepared, and deeply supported. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

    — Francesca Hansen-DiBello, Actor/Playwright

  • "I have had the honor of working with Lauren Roth on several productions, and she is, without a doubt, one of my favorite dialect coaches to collaborate with. Lauren's extensive knowledge of accents and her ability to adapt to any actor's learning style make her an incredible addition to any production team. She always comes to the process extremely well-prepared and can adapt to any given circumstances she's working within. In the rehearsal room, Lauren has an infectiously joyous energy that immediately puts even the most nervous, accent-phobic actor at ease. If you are in need of a dialect coach, I highly recommend Lauren Roth. I know you will love working with her as much as I have."
