Welcome to Talk Like That Accent & Dialect Coaching

My name is Mark Byron Dallas, and I'm a Knight-Thompson Speechwork certified teacher with more than two decades of experience coaching clients in the entertainment and communication industries.

 

Based mainly in Toronto, I regularly coach professionals around the world—Canada (Vancouver), USA (New York, Los Angeles), and UK (London). With a lifelong fascination for language and speech, I specialize in helping my clients master the nuances of any accent.

​

I've coached many actors (and other professionals) to reach their goals, including Emmy Award nominee Michael Luwoye and Ted Lasso's Edyta Budnik.

​

As one of the leading dialect coaches in Canada, I work with actors seeking to perfect a character’s voice and professionals looking to enhance their communication skills. My coaching is designed to help you achieve clarity, confidence, and authenticity in any accent you need.

​

I'm often asked what accents I coach, but my deep knowledge of linguistics—combined with my proven methods—means I can guide you toward mastering any dialect required for your performance or professional goals.

As well as a long list of online accent classes, I provide cast sessions
and 1-on-1 coaching sessions to help actors (and other professionals) gain confidence and control in whatever accent they need.

Let’s work together to unlock the power of your voice.
