Heel Holland Hugt Does Tilburg!
My friend Paul came and filmed our first hugging stop – Tilburg – and really caught the essence of the day. Here you can see me hugging a police officer, a ticket agent, a construction worker, and boy did that make me happy! I guess I like a man in uniform! Thanks Paul!
We Did It! #HeelHollandHugt
Well, Heel Holland Hugt is now a THING. Telegraaf Vrouw came and interviewed us when we were hugging in our 6th city – Amsterdam – outside of the train station. We had been hugging for about 8 hours when they filmed, but wow this short video really captures the spirit of the day! Enjoy!

English coaching for The Voice Of Holland!
I had such a great time last week coaching lovely Thijs in the Voice Of Holland! Guus Meeuwis, his coach, asked me to help Thijs with his pronunciation – how could I refuse? Our session was nearly 3 hours, but it gives you an idea of how I coach. There is a method to my madness! […]
Dialogue coaching for Brimstone!
I was thrilled when Martin Koolhoven, the brilliant Dutch director, asked me to do dialogue coaching for his newest masterpiece, Brimstone. I helped a British actor nail an American accent. It was an honor to work alongside Martin in the sound studio, and you can see the result when you watch the movie! Here’s the trailer. […]
