Jessica Hammett
Voice and Dialect Coach
“On 'Lee' I played a character born and raised in the UK for the first time. This old Swedish American faced the challenge with trepidation but Jessica held my hand firmly and guided me every step of the way. She gave me confidence and even taught me how to pronounce impossible words, like Paris!”
–Alexander Skarsgård (Lee)
“Jessica Hammett is not only brilliant and forensically accurate with her dialect coaching, but perhaps more importantly, is just great fun to have around set. I can’t speak highly enough of her talents.”
–Jamie Dornan
“I have LOVED working with Jessica on “The Essex Serpent” – she was so wonderfully thorough and yet everything always felt light and relaxed. I have treasured her commitment, availability and generosity. She made the whole experience so much easier.”
–Clémence Poésy (The Essex Serpent)
