Salvatore Sorce and Katherine Heath are Voice, Text and Dialect coaches working across UK drama schools, and the theatre, television and film industry.  Salvatore and Katherine originally trained as actors at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art respectively before working extensively in the industry. They met at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama where they both studied on the MA and MFA programme in Voice Studies. Each chose to research teaching strategies for the neurodiverse (Dyslexia/ Dyspraxia/ AD(H)D) professional actor and acting student and made this their dissertation focus. Both practitioners have now embedded their research into their practice to aid the marginalised learner in voice, accent and acting work.
