Colton Weiss (he/they) is a professional dialect coach, actor, and lecturer (Ohio State Univ.) based out of Columbus, Ohio. With the continued popularity and development of productions that call for more demanding voice, speech, and accent work, dialect coaches, music directors, and actors must collaborate across jobs. Inspired from the text, Voice and Speech for Musical Theatre by Chris Palmer, and ongoing production experience, this presentation by Colton explores the intersections of accent work, and the musical skills needed for actors to perform in Musical Theatre.

His clients range from local middle school/high school students and working adults, to professionals performing regionally and on Broadway. Favorite coaching credits include: Actors’ Theatre of Columbus (Robin Hood, Sense and Sensibility - 2023 season), Columbus Children's Theatre (Disney’s Newsies - Dir.
