I can teach any accent/dialect, given time to prepare.

I have worked for Film and TV, most recently working on The Son. I was the sole Dialect coach for the show. I worked with every actor who spoke on and off set. I worked with every accent and every language, including Comanche. I took instruction and learned Comanche so that I could effectively teach the actors how to not only pronounce the words but sound like they were native speakers.
