MATT FURLANI

Voice & Dialect

“Having worked in Film and Television for the past ten years, I knew I would need help preparing my voice for the stage. Matt was really helpful inn sharing techniques, exercises and games to help with vocal connection and clarity. It helped in a multitude of ways: breath support, intention and learning lines. Thank you Matt!"

- Angourie Rice, actor
