"I had the great privilege of working with Jennifer Innes in her capacity as a dialect and vocal coach at State Theatre of South Australia.
She is utterly meticulous,and a wonderful person to collaborate with.
Her understanding of the peculiarities and nuances of the New Jersey accent in which we were dealing was vast and her research and knowledge were exhaustive.
It was always fascinating and enlightening to have a session with Jennifer, and her care helped me find great detail and insight into creating my character.
She was always generous and bouyant, and being an actor herself meant that she was extremely respectful of my personal process.
She is an extremely masterful, kind and delightful person to deal with.
I look forward to working with her again in the future."

"I have been blessed to work with Jennifer in various capacities – I have had the pleasure of directing her as an actress and was in awe of her high stakes emotional truth, stellar comic chops and profound stage charisma; I have had her coach me in accent and dialect and revelled in her detail and ability to communicate accent methodology and sound formation with ease, clarity and impact; and I’ve hired her to vocally coach other actors I’ve directed as well and witnessed the rich way in which she empowers performers to truly free their voice and instrument for the benefit of the play. She is collaborative, considered and caring as a colleague, performer and a teacher. She is a class act through and through."
Mitchell Butel, Artistic Director Sydney Theatre Company
"I have worked with Jennifer Innes on a number of productions now in theatre and film in her capacity as accent coach and have found it to be soundly professional and extremely well researched. Jen’s support during the productions is invaluable to enable the accent to become more integrated and embedded, with your own work as an actor. Jen is also an experienced voice teacher and her knowledge in relation to the science of vocal technique is exemplary."
Genevieve Mooy, Actor
"I worked with Jennifer when she was the accent coach on 'The Dictionary of Lost Words'. As a director, I appreciated the deep research and attention to detail that she applied to the many dialects in the show. Her process was wonderfully collaborative and the results were exceptional. I highly recommend Jennifer and her excellent approaches to not only accent but also vocal technique."
Jessica Arthur, Director
"I've worked with Jen on stage and screen projects, on US and UK accents. I've worked with a lot of other great accent coaches too. Jen is up there with the best. Meticulous, caring, and generous: a great person to have in your corner."
Terence Crawford, Actor
