Roger brings a unique perspective to language and communication at CYT Orlando through his background as a sign language interpreter over the last 20-plus years. His training in language structure and sentence construction provides a strong foundation for teaching clear, effective verbal and visual communication. He helps students develop skills in spoken English clarity, articulation, phonetics, and pronunciation, as well as storytelling and theme building through visual expression. His classes also explore accents and the mechanics of speech, giving students tools to make intentional vocal choices. His goal is to help students understand not just what they say, but how language works and how to use it effectively onstage. He is a theater enthusiast who has been a performing arts interpreter throughout his career and has been involved in, and led, drama ministry for most of his life.
