What Other's Are Saying After Working With Aria...

"Aria is an amazing coach. She is so kind, reliable and encouraging. Her feedback is so specific, it helped me tremendously. She went above and beyond, and I will continue to work with her again and again.”

"I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the invaluable assistance provided by Aria. As an Ambassador for the UN, effective communication is paramount in my role, and the guidance I have received from her has been transformative. She played a pivotal role in enhancing my communication skills by reducing my accent. The result has been a marked improvement in my English proficiency and overall communication abilities. The professionalism, expertise, and tailored guidance provided by Aria have been instrumental in my personal and professional development."

UN Ambassador

“Aria’s accent skills blew me away when I first heard them. She’s a chameleon-like actor and master of accents, so I knew she could help me with my audition requiring a British accent. She helped me breakdown the phonetic differences, and the nuances of the British accent that depended on the characters class, social status, education, and background, which added layers to my character and
performance. She helped strengthen my listening skills so I could recognize the difference between my natural speech pattern and the accents patterns. I learned all the tools I needed to get the accent down authentically. She’s a joy to work with and my go to dialect coach now. I would recommend her to anyone looking to level up their accent skills and confidence.”

Viv Leacock

Professional Actor & Acting Coach

“I can't say enough amazing things about Aria. She has worked with both my daughters (ages 8 and 13) coaching them for London, Indian, Brooklyn, and Kentucky accents. Aria was absolutely incredible. She managed to keep my 8 year old's attention by ensuring the accent coaching was interesting, educational and fun. Both my kids mastered the accents in no time. The feedback from the casting directors was
incredible. We would highly recommend Aria's services!”
