Stephen Gabis, Dialect Coach of ‘39 Steps,’ Knows Which R’s to Roll

NYTimes.com: "WITH talk of diphthongs and tongue positions, a dialogue session with Stephen Gabis comes across like speech therapy. That’s because Mr. Gabis is a go-to dialect coach whose craft can be heard on Broadway and beyond. His fluency with accents helps make the rounded vowels of “The Seafarer” or the dropped r’s of “To Kill a Mockingbird” sound authentic enough to sometimes fool even native speakers of the represented regions."
