What They Say

Worth his weight in gold.

— Saoirse Ronan · Little Women

I really enjoyed working with Sam on what was a complicated hybrid accent. The sessions were relaxed and fun and Sam's thorough approach and keen ear were hugely reassuring.

— Simon Pegg

The absolute best, most reliable and enjoyable dialect coach I have ever worked with. Immense ability coupled with clarity of communication — and a lovely human being.

— Alex Sharp · The Hustle
