Amazing Shakespeare actor and very well-prepared and helpful acting coach
This is my mom's account. I'm a 13 year old boy who is pretty new to acting, but right now I'm getting ready to play Cornwall in a full-length production of King Lear. Seamus helped me a lot in working on how my voice should change in certain parts of my lines. For example, he helped me figure out how to read certain statements in parentheses that have for some reason been extra hard for me. He didn't seem to mind when I didn't get things right away, either. It feels like he knows everything there is to know about the play, about the words, the meanings, and everything else, and it's neat to just hear him read the lines because he is so insanely good at it. Also, I can be sort of lazy about learning my lines, and he shared some tricks with me that I think will make memorizing quicker and easier.

Well prepared dialect coach
Seamus was incredibly helpful assisting me with an accent for a role I have been working on. He provided many helpful pointers and really delved into the script with it. Thank you so much for your help!
