LA Acting, Voice, & Dialect Coach Todd Karner
Todd began studying acting over 20 years ago while pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Theater at Minnesota State University. During the course of his studies, he found that on top of a passion for acting, he had a natural talent for phonetics and accents. After receiving his degree in 2001, he moved to Ireland, where he was involved in multiple theatrical productions including playing the lead in the Irish premiere of Tennessee William’s “Not About Nightingales.” He was able to hone his skills further when he opened a theater company, About Face, in Ireland.
For the past thirteen years, he has been living in Los Angeles doing what he loves, performing on camera, doing voice-over, and teaching acting as well as dialects and accent reduction. Most recently he has performed as a Russian mercenary in the feature film “Triassic Hunt”, and a British con artist in the miniseries “In the Shadows.”
Todd also does private coaching and ZOOM self-taped auditions. He is $125 for 30-minutes or $180 for an hour. He also works privately with helping coach actors for accent reduction and creating an authentic British accent.
