Are you looking for an experienced Irish language consultant for film and television? With a deep passion for the Irish language and extensive industry experience, I specialise in ensuring authentic, high-quality Irish dialogue for screen productions. As a fluent Irish speaker and a seasoned television producer, I have worked on five documentaries for TG4 and Virgin Media 1, as well as serving as script supervisor on the bilingual English/Irish film Homofónia (2023). My expertise ensures that scripts, subtitles, and performances reflect the richness and accuracy of the Irish language, enhancing the cultural and linguistic integrity of your production.
In ‘Homofónia’, I provided actor coaching for Irish language performances, ensuring that their pronunciation, intonation, and delivery felt natural and compelling on screen. I am a trained coach, and I bring this skillset to bear on my work with performers. Actor coaching work can be done well in advance of shoot dates. The production team can rest assured that the Irish-language aspect of the project is in safe hands. Working closely with actors, I help them master their Irish lines with confidence, whether they are fluent speakers or complete beginners. Authenticity in spoken Irish is crucial for maintaining realism and audience immersion, and my expertise guarantees a professional and polished performance.
In addition to my work behind the scenes, I offer remote Irish language consulting services, assisting writers and directors in refining scripts, translations, and dialogue. Whether you need a full script translation into Irish or subtle linguistic guidance for bilingual productions, I bring a keen eye for detail and cultural authenticity to every project. My experience as a producer of a short film on partner abuse and coercive control has deepened my understanding of compelling storytelling and the nuances of language in delivering powerful narratives.
If you are a filmmaker, screenwriter, or production company seeking a dedicated Irish language consultant, I would love to collaborate. From pre-production script development to on-set coaching and post-production review, I offer a comprehensive language support service tailored to your project’s needs. Get in touch today to discuss how I can help bring your Irish-language vision to life.
