"Jennifer White is the consummate professional in all areas of her work. She approaches her coaching with extreme detail and finesse and has an abundant knowledge of all things dialect coaching. I have known Jennifer for many, many years and absolutely trust her to take on any dialect and relay the information with precision and ease. I have been lucky enough to have both been taught by Jennifer in dialects at drama school at the start of my career and worked with her professionally in the industry. I highly recommend working with her." |

KIP WILLIAMS: STC ARTISTIC DIRECTOR & CO-CEO
"I've worked with Jennifer White as Voice & Dialect Coach on four of my productions to date - three plays for Sydney Theatre Company (STC) and one for the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). She's coached my casts in period and modern dialects, voice and text work, and STC has hired her as our coach on 11 plays over the years. Most recently, Jennifer was the Voice & Dialect Coach on my production of Tommy Murphy's epic play On The Beach. As always, it was a total delight and pleasure working with Jennifer. The cast also adored working with her, and the voice and accent work on the show were extraordinary. I find Jennifer to be so gifted at her job and feel lucky to get to have her talent feeding into my shows." |

HEATHER MITCHELL: ACTOR & STC BOARD MEMBER
"I worked with Jennifer White as my Dialect & Voice Coach on the one-woman play RBG: Of Many, One for Sydney Theatre Company. I had to play US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg from 13 to 87 years, as well as voice and embody up to 30 other characters, including three male US Presidents. Jennifer transformed the way I thought about accent and character. Her detailed observation and knowledge of human behaviour, patterns of speech and character physicality is inspirational. She offers great exercises, insights and ultimately confidence in one's performance. " |
"I worked with Jennifer White on creating a general American accent for my character on a feature film “Dirty Boy” (shot in Austria). I adored working with Jennifer, she's an absolute Godsend! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about dialects and vocal orchestration but she also showed me how to integrate the dialect and character traits to create a fully formed individual that jumps off the page. Jennifer is a gifted teacher who truly understands the human condition. She is now my go to person for all dialect and vocal coaching!!"
