DIALECT COACHING: FILM

"I Am Woman" directed by Unjoo Moon

In October 2018, I'd just wrapped ADR work on the animated film "Wonder Park" for Paramount Pictures, and I was asked by Goalpost Pictures if I would be the Dialect Coach on their film that was about to shoot in Sydney. As soon as I heard the synopsis, it was a heartfelt YES!

The film was "I Am Woman", directed by Unjoo Moon, and it's the story of Australian singer Helen Reddy.

In 1966, Helen landed in New York with her three-year-old daughter, a suitcase and $230 in her pocket. Within weeks she was broke. 

Within months she was in love. Within five years she was one of the biggest superstars of her time. An icon of the 1970s feminist movement, she wrote the Grammy Award-winning song "I Am Woman" which galvanised a generation of women to fight for change and has become an anthem for women's equality. This is her story.

Look out for it in cinemas in 2020. It's a film I'm very proud to have been a part of.
