....a nice step-by-step approach that brings you to a higher level. Combining the focus on the (English) language of the text, with acting technique was eye-opening. Maybe you think your English is good enough? Well I suggest you go see Bonnie first.

What I learned is beyond my expectations. I didn’t think that the impact would be so big.

Because Bonnie is an actor, director and still active in the work field, she really knows what she's talking about.
Not to mention just a great and loving person in general. She helped me to improve my jaw and tongue positioning, and I've learned to link my pronunciation to my interpretation, which enhances my performance as an artist.

I had the pleasure of working with Bonnie on perfecting my American accent for a major film production.  She is firm but fair, hears every sound and doesn’t miss a beat.
It's not only about pronunciation, but also about the culture and the meaning behind the text. Interpreting the words so you know what to emphasize and understand how to use intonation. People seem to forget that. You learn all of that working with Bonnie.

Studying with Bonnie has provided me with the tools and confidence to know what to listen for, in order to keep improving. Bonnie won't let you off easy, but she'll always do it with respect and humor!

-Judith Da Silva, actress

Bonnie is extremely professional, knows exactly what makes a good performance and is in her element around all kinds of people. She's intuitive and smart and knows how to give the actors the tools they need to give their best performance.

-Michael Krass, director

Working with Bonnie gave me deeper understanding and insight into the versatility and range of the English language. How to fully use it, what expression lies in it, how to incorporate that into my own way of speaking and acting.

Her approach is personal and specific, always starting from who you are as a person. She’s very good at pinpointing what needs to improved and at the pointing out the progress you've made. This made her coaching both challenging and satisfying. I learnt even more than I thought I would!

-Matthijs vd Sande Bakhuyzen, actor

Bonnie's coaching was crucial for the production. ...she made me feel safe, yet challenged. With knowledge, humor and lots of energy, she helped me to rise above myself, while keeping the group of performers focused and united.
