Testimonials

Joanna Scanlan
2022 BAFTA Leading Actress Award / Boat Story
"Chase Emery Davis is a tremendous French, English, and American dialogue coach. I learned so much about how to use my voice with his knowledge of these languages and sounds, and it was great fun on the way.”

Tomer Capon
The Boys - Amazon Season 4
"Working with Chase was an absolutely great experience right from the beginning. The way he manages the class, gives everything he can, and all his patience to you as a student is inspiring. There are no silly questions. There are no wrongs or rights, and he is always open-minded to your needs. I felt he is more than a dialect coach. He knew how to elevate any emotion I came with for my character needs and make the best out of it. I highly recommend you jump on this wonderful ride. Thank you, Chase. You rock, brother!!!”

Charlie Hamblet
Boat Story / Around the World in 80 Days
"Working with Chase, in his capacity of an accent and dialogue coach this year on a new BBC show, was pretty game-changing for me. He is truly knowledgeable and cogent in his field, but, crucially, holds an innate understanding of performance and the creative process. I firmly believe his work helps me perform better as an actor on set. He now teaches me weekly French through his system of language learning, and I’ve come on much faster than I’d hoped in our 16 sessions. It was quite daunting to return to lessons - a decade after leaving school! - but it’s been a hoot working together so far, as well as a hugely rewarding challenge.”
