about me
I'm Scott Alan Moffitt, a Los Angeles based actor and dialect coach, originally from Texas. I earned a BFA in Acting before relocating to LA to build a career in the entertainment industry. Somewhere along the way, my obsession with dialects became its own career.
For the past decade, I've worked with actors at every level—from those prepping for their first dialect audition, to cast members on film and television productions. I also work with non-actors looking to modify their everyday speech for person and professional reasons.
my philosophy
I know firsthand how stressful the entertainment industry can be. Actors tell me constantly about the anxiety that comes with an audition requiring a dialect—or even just the decision to put one on their resume. Non-actors often share how their natural speaking voice has become a source of self-consciousness, quietly limiting what they feel able to do or say.
My goal is to change that relationship. I want to give every client the tools to analyze, deconstruct, and ultimately own any dialect or accent they encounter, and to leave our work together seeing their voice as a unique asset, not a liability.
my approach
I love introducing actors to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)—a precise, learnable system that removes the guesswork from dialect work by marrying the science of linguistics to the art of performance. Once you know it, you can teach yourself virtually any accent independently.
That said, the IPA isn't the right entry point for everyone—and that's completely fine. I coach dialect and accent acquisition in whatever way works best for you.
For non-actors pursuing Accent Modification, my years of training actors across a wide range of dialects and linguistic backgrounds have sharpened my ability to identify and address your specific patterns. There's no one-size-fits-all solution here, and my training as an actor gives me the empathy and flexibility to meet you exactly where you are.
