I have access to a sound booth and professional audio recording equipment.
I coach dialects in stage productions.
I teach voice and speech classes from a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, approach. I listen carefully to the sounds to learn about how sounds are produced. The Oral posture, that is, the shape of the vocal tract, and the actions of the articulators (lips, soft palate, and tongue) make the sound changes naturally.
I have two degrees in France and lived in France.
I have studied German for four years and Sanskrit for one year.
I speak French fluently and speak Italian proficiently.
As director of The Winter's Tale, I was interviewed about the production, which was broadcast on Croatian national TV in 2013.
