"Daryll not only gave me the tools for nailing the accent I needed to bring into the audition, but his manner was grounding and nurturing, and was exactly what I needed before entering the audition!"

“I was referred to Daryll Heysham as a dialect coach for a new production on the Playwright’s Horizons main stage. I needed a West African dialect. He gave me the confidence and technique to help win the role.”

Ian Duff

TV: "New Amsterdam" (Recurring role, NBC), "Homeland" (Showtime), "Up North" (2017 SeriesFest Award for Best Actor in a Drama)

"It was such a pleasure working with Daryll. After working with Daryll before my callback audition, I ended up booking my first role in a show that required me to speak with an RP British accent. Daryll was extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. I couldn’t have done it without him."

Judith Franklin

Broadway: "Tina--The Tina Turner Musical," "Summer: The Donna Summer Musical"

"After working with Daryll for the first time, I was hooked! I had so
much fun learning new dialects with him that I couldn't wait to book
my next session. Since working with Daryll, I've been able to add six
different dialects to my special skills. He gives you everything you
need to feel confident and ready. He
pays attention, cares about his students, and goes above and beyond
what regular coaches do. I'm so grateful to have him as my coach!"

Maria Alessi

Theatre/National Tours: "Rent," "Ragtime," "Cabaret," "Mary Poppins." Two touring productions with Arts Power

"Daryll has helped me with at least 7 different accents and dialects over the past few years. With each one he has continuously provided a very detailed analysis and physical breakdown of what each accent requires. He then works through whatever scene or text you have to make sure you are as confident and free with it as possible. I have always felt more capable with each dialect after working with Daryll."

Tucker Lewis

TV: "The Undoing" (HBO), "Power" (Starz)
