I had the great good fortune to meet Ben several years ago when I was employed as a regular actor on the CBS show *Elementary* in New York. Ben was my onset dialect coach on that show for around 18 months. He has a thorough understanding of his role on the set. He is understated. He listens quietly to every take, and will approach very respectfully if there was a slip in the dialect. An absolute joy to work with.
Ben has an uncanny ability to find and teach any dialect required in a play, or film, or TV show. I have contacted him many times since our *Elementary* days. On several occasions I have needed to learn an obscure dialect, and he was always my first choice.
I have worked with many gifted dialect coaches around the world. Ben Furey is the perfect fit for me. He is also a delightful, intelligent, and humane man.
I recommend Ben very highly and without hesitation

For TV & Film Producers, Directors, Production Coordinators…

Ben has worked on films, TV shows and theatre pieces for US producers coaching non-American actors (from countries like Australia, Britain, and New Zealand) to use American accents and American actors (and others) to be British.

He has spent many months and days on TV/Film sets, ADR studios, and many hours on Zoom/FaceTime etc. doing online coaching and audition prep. Earlier this year, Ben spent five months in Belfast working on a film for Universal Pictures

Ben has both US and UK citizenship, having lived for twenty one years in the United States and is able to legally work in both countries without requiring a work visa.

Ben is equipped to help you at any or all stages of production. This might consist of:

Pre-production: Working with directors and producers to clarify the exact dialect (or dialects) needed, and doing prep and rehearsal work with the actors.

During filming: doing on-set work to help the actor be as comfortable with the dialect as possible, allowing their focus to be on their performance and not on how they are saying the words. The less self-conscious an actor can be with their dialect, the better the performance will be.

He can also help by working with the actors, director, and script supervisor to minimize issues with clarity.

ADR: Ben can be with you in the studio to make sure that the dialect in lines being recorded is consistent with the dialect work done during the shoot.

ONLINE - No matter where you or your actors are in the world, he can work with them via Zoom/Facetime/Skype.

Ben is happy to work with Non-Disclosure/Privacy Agreements.

A Statement of Personal Ethics

Ben has been approached by the media on a number of occasions to talk about the dialect performances of actors in various Film, Theatre, or Television projects.

As a rule, he never publicly discusses or critiques in the press, social media, or elsewhere the accent/dialect or performance of any actor he has worked with, productions he has worked on, or the accent/dialect performances of actors in projects he has not worked on.
