Experienced tutor in Acting in Seattle, Rachel offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I've been coached by Rachel for a little over two years now and I can truly say it's been a transformative experience. I came in with a mild knowledge of what is was to be an actor and Rachel has not only informed me in ways to improve my craft, my voice, and how I study a role but also increased my horizons on where I want to go in my career as a performer. My voice acting and accents have improved and my preparation steps to go into a role has also gotten better as I now know more ways to analyze a monologue, or dialogue scene, and pull the most out of it as an actor thanks to Rachel. She's encouraging, very patient, and best of all able to adapt quickly to what you will need as a student as you level up in your acting abilities while working with her. I cannot recommend working with Rachel enough and her knowledge on so many different types of acting (i.e. Voice Acting, Accents, Theatre, Film, etc.) means that no matter what your goals are as an actor, Rachel will be able to guide you in the best ways possible to get you to where you want to be in the craft.

I had to quickly conquer a British accent - no easy task if you google youtube videos and try it yourself : ) I was lucky enough to come across Rachel who happens to be a dialect coach. Well. she is more than a dialect coach, because she also is an actress and understands the nature of scripts and the art of acting. In just 2 half hour sessions, she did her magic and taught me the pronunciation, pitch, rhythm, music and tone of the accent. She is super skilled and efficient. Definitely a life-saver! I give her 10 stars!!!

Rachel Glass has been the most informative, enjoyable and specific acting coach I have had the privilege of working with.

Rachel’s attention to detail, understanding of tactics, and encouragement of the use of my voice, body, imagination and storytelling have been essential to my growth and play as an actor.

Every opportunity I get to work with Rachel deepens my understanding and relationship to the text, character and story. She asks questions that inspire me to delve into my conceptualization of the performance I am portraying and she challenges me to escape from any bad habits I might have, while helping me overcome my weaknesses and elevate my strengths.

Rachel’s approach towards our work is uplifting and fun, which makes our sessions feel far less stressful and much more delightful! After every session I am more prepared, enthusiastic and confident in the direction my work is going. I always look forward to my next coaching session with Rachel, knowing I will get closer and closer to my desired goal!

I highly recommend Rachel Glass as an acting coach and theatre arts mentor. She is passionate, professional and inspiring!

I worked together with Rachel as an actor in several successful musical theater productions. Based on those great experiences, I hired her as a singer for some demo recordings that I produced. Rachel was a tremendous asset to those recording projects. She is both very creative and very professional. She is one of the best singers I have ever worked with.

Rachel has been my dialect coach for several professional acting jobs. She's patient, supportive and has an excellent ear for dialects.

Rachel worked with me on different British dialects for a professional stage production in which I played more than one role from different regions of the country; I've successfully used what she taught me countless times throughout the course of my stage career ever since.

Rachel is an integral part of our operations at Jim French Productions. She is, without any doubt, one of the finest voice talents it has been my pleasure to work with in 38 years in the business. There isn't a role I have given her that she hasn't been able to perform to the highest level. Rachel is the total professional.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rachel for over 10 years. Our children attended the same school, and I worked with Rachel on several projects. I was always impressed with the creativity Rachel brought to every project, and her terrific organizational and teamwork skills. I am also the undergraduate advisor for the School of Drama at the University of Washington, and I know what is required of a successful theatre instructor. Rachel brings patience, creativity, and the knowledge of how to elicit a student’s best work, while at the same time creating a nurturing, safe space in which to stretch and experiment. I know this personally, too, from the experience my son, a young 13-year-old actor at the time, had working with Rachel on a production – I was impressed by the respect and care with which Rachel treated my son, and I know he was lucky to have had her there in his first professional experience.

Rachel and I have worked together for years as part of a team of narrators on many projects, ranging from audio books to radio programs to accessible voters guides. She brings a rare level of dedication to every project, based on her wide range of experience in voice work and theater. She's a creative problem-solver in multiple circumstances, and her skills as a narrator and interviewer put her up among the top talents I've ever had the joy of working alongside.

Rachel changed the way I thought about myself as a performer. In Seattle Shakespeare Company's production of The Tempest, She helped me integrate my physical body with my vocal capacity. Her coaching was gentle, but expanded me well beyond what I thought I was capable of. I've carried the skills she gave me into the rest of my career, including a new-found sense of confidence and risk in my work.

Rachel is an innovative artist who combines her diverse experiences in theatre and education to create a new vantage point for other artists to launch their careers, their talents and their dreams. I had the pleasure of working in both theatrical and educational settings with Rachel in Nashville, Tennessee.

Rachel is a gifted actor and voice-over artist who brings a passion and intelligence to all her work. She has tremendous facility with dialects and character voices, yet her normal speaking voice is clear and smooth. Also an educator, she has for many years coached students, corporate clients and professional actors in honing their voices for confidence, projection, on-camera delivery and accent work. Her patience and sense of humor make her a pleasure to work with.
