If Lily Tomlin and Anna Deavere Smith were to merge their talents, the results might be something like Eliza Jane Schneider's Freedom of Speech, a dramatic tour of America and also a tour de force... A wondrous harmony of American voices pouring from a one-woman choir.

Biography

A Voice for Today

 
Eliza Jane Schneider is a veteran actor and dialect coach, whose clients include celebrities, politicians, A-list directors, AAA game companies and major studios, such as Disney, Warner Brothers, Universal, Paramount, Fox, Dreamworks, Hulu, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Comedy Central.

Renowned for voicing the female population of Comedy Central’s South Park, Eliza has an extensive list of credits in some of the most popular animations and video games.  As a coach, she has helped perfect the accents and dialects of countless colleagues, from beginners, to Oscar winners, to the casts of Overwatch, Mafia 3 and Resident Evil, among many others. 

An avid researcher, Eliza has dedicated her life to the study of voice and dialects. For her extensive Dialect Database, she traveled six continents, recording thousands of people speaking English in their native dialects.  An activist and proud advocate for underserved communities, she is committed to preserving these dialects and allowing all unsung voices to be heard.

The proud founder of Competitive Edge Voice Training and the Character Acting Academy, in Pygmalion fashion, Eliza has created a curriculum including the collective wisdom of her favorite working mentors, colleagues, coaches, professors, directors, casting directors and voice stars, to level the playing field and give every voice a chance to soar.

A woman of many talents, Eliza got her on-camera start as “Liza” in Beakman’s World.  She won Best Solo Show at the NYC International Fringe Festival, and is also a world-class fiddler.

"Ms. Schneider's talent amazes"
Rinne Groft
The New York Sun
"Her one-woman play "Freedom of Speech" was born out of her collection of voices and is now growing into a podcast. Schneider is looking to help people elevate their own voices. Schneider is essentially asking, "What's going on?" with the play (and now the podcast) serving as an archive of the answers to that one important question-each answer unique with a distinctive sound. The podcast is done in the spirit of inclusion and anthropological interest in the human experience- and their voices. "There is no 'Us' and 'Them'," she says, "We are Them."

"As a dialect coach, Eliza has a wonderful capacity for combining character development with dialect proficiency that heightens the actor's performance. As an actor herself, she has the ability to break through other actors' resistance with a minimum of effort and a maximum of result."
Brian Nefsky
Sr. Casting Associate, Walt Disney Imagineering
In Newsweek, Eliza Jane was quoted as saying this about Marvel's new Israeli superhero: "She is in a perfect position to promote love, forgiveness, humanity, peace and positive change."
