Barbara Hastings
Hey there! I'm an acting coach, dialect coach, and actor/singer/VO artist with 30+ years' experience in the US, UK and Australia. I've dialect and dialogue (acting coach) coached on shows such as NBC/Universal's Young Rock and Joe vs. Carol. With over 800 hours of coaching both privately and in groups, I'm well-equipped to help you reach your goals. Happy to read for you, do some acting coaching and/or dialect coaching. I specialize in US accents, but can give you broader coaching with UK and Aussie if you need those.
A little more about me:
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA, and now based in Sydney, Australia.
I've got a BA in Theater Arts, and an MFA in Acting/Directing, University of Arizona, Tucson. I was a GTA at U of A for 2.5 years before moving to London, where I did lots of musical theatre and had my own cabaret act. I was a professional VO artist in London as well. Since moving to Australia, I've mainly worked in the film and TV industry here. My coaching services are in demand here on a regular basis.
