"Helen is amazing. She makes it incredibly easy and never makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, but encourages calmly and effectively. Slowly but surely, with incredible patience on her part, we get there. One day I will thank you in public."

"Helen Simmons was an absolute dream to work with! Accent work is challenging, because even more than technical skill, it requires confidence. Helen empowers you to feel confident, comfortable and natural, and to create an authentic character. She also brings levity and humour to the training, which freed me to do one of the most important parts of my accent work: RELAX! I would highly recommend Helen to any performer and I plan to work with her time and again."
