We genuinely love bringing our expertise and our experiences together to create the best programs for our students.<\/p>\n<p>For this week\u2019s staff spotlight, we\u2019d like to introduce you to Adam Michael Rose, our dialect and accent reduction coach.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10191 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suchavoice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Adam-Michael-Rose-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"adam michael rose\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" \/>SAV: <\/b>Hi Adam! Thanks for taking the time to chat. It\u2019s great to have you on the team as a dialect and accent reduction coach! Can you explain what your day-to-day responsibilities are in this position?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose:<\/b> I have the pleasure and honor of being SAV\u2019s all around speech consultant. My job is to provide coaching and guidance to anyone who is looking to acquire an accent. This also frequently refers to learning a general American accent, otherwise known as accent reduction. I also provide resources and training for anyone looking to address any speech disorders or problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b>What inspired you to get into voice-over?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose:<\/b> The voice-over world has always been a big draw for me. Our voices are capable of so many things, including transforming in chameleon-like ways into completely different moods, sounds, and feelings. The fact that there\u2019s opportunity for us as actors to use our incredibly capable voices every day is unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b>Who is someone that you look up to in the voice-over industry?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>The late, great Mel Blanc. I think we all grew up watching Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Tweety, and the rest of the Merrie Melodies gang. I was probably around seven or eight years old when I started paying attention to how these cartoons were made. I would watch the names that rolled by during the credits. I remember ALWAYS seeing Mel Blanc\u2019s name. I quickly learned that he was the voice of just about ALL of my favorite cartoon characters!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV:<\/b> What\u2019s the greatest thing that you\u2019ve learned from the students you work with?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose:<\/b> Hard work and unfaltering dedication really pay off. I\u2019ve had the absolute pleasure of watching students completely transform their skill sets, mostly because of their own dedication to learning and practicing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV:<\/b> If you had two free hours each day, how would you use it?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>I\u2019d put myself on a structured, yet fun and flexible learning schedule. I\u2019d start with learning as many new languages that I possibly could, and then I\u2019d move onto cooking and baking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV:<\/b> How would your friends describe you?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose:<\/b> The nice guy, enthusiast of all things 80\u2019s, and a human encyclopedia of <i>Golden Girls<\/i> quotes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b>What\u2019s the greatest bit of advice anyone has given you?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>The strongest nugget for me right now comes from <i>Hamilton: <\/i>talk less. This is actually kind of ironic given what we do, but I love the idea of listening. Listening to people\u2019s thoughts, feelings, information, problems, questions, and concerns. It really does seem that by doing more listening, we can avoid conflicts and tension.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b>If you had a time machine, what point in the past or future would you visit?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>I\u2019m still waiting for our world to become like the Jetsons \u2014 flying cars that fold up into briefcases, living in the sky, robot friends\u2026 Wait, I think we might be on the way there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV: <\/b>What are three things still left on your bucket list?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>Skydiving, scuba-diving in the Great Barrier Reef, and making the family Thanksgiving turkey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>SAV:<\/b> What was the best thing that has happened to you this year so far?<\/p>\n<p><b>Rose: <\/b>Going to Disneyland \u2014 no joke!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us how we can make our blog even more valuable\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdV9bR4t3MdHEe6MuGBTdr1r2q8PwCFzjjcg1GEaUxHV8lJDA\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Such A Voice, we bring together\u00a0some pretty incredible professionals\u00a0from all different parts of the world to provide our students with a top voice-over education.
