German Born – English Trained
Having trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, Simone has been working as a voice & accent coach in Film, TV and Theater for many years.
Simone’s expertise lies in her bilingual background which allows her to coach language as well as accent both in German and English.
In recent years she has made non-German speakers sound German in productions like
THE JACKAL (Eddie Redmayne)
EXTERRITORIAL (Dougray Scott)
MUNICH: THE EDGE OF WAR (George McKay)
HANNA (Joel Kinnaman)
AFTERMATH (Alexander Skarsgård) and
7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE (Rosamund Pike).
She also worked with Felix Kammerer and Albrecht Schuch on the multi Oscar nominated
ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
