Lori is an exceptional collaborator and teacher - she will always put the play, and the story, first.  She helps her actors inhabit not just the accent but the world from which the accent derives - and everyone from audience to actor to designer benefits from her contribution to the production and project.

I cannot stress how big of an impact Lori has made in my training and career.  I have been so lucky to have her as my champion - from my community theatre debut to my Broadway debut playing Gerry Goffin in Beautiful: the Carole King Musical.
