What I Do

I have often found there are two things that can hijack an actor's confidence: Dialect and Costume. If they are not right, it can really impede the actor's embodiment of the character, not to mention their enjoyment. I have no say in the costume — although I can help with finding breath support when corseted tightly in a period drama!

I work to help find a route into any given accent or dialect which works for the individual. Initially working from your own accent starting point, then finding a route specific to you to achieve the required dialect needed to bring your character to life authentically.

I also work with the text: developing the voice, support, resonance, range and articulation — and having the skills to fill any given space safely.

I work with individuals and groups.

Within the business world I work with those who would like to soften their accent, those who experience vocal fatigue at the end of a meeting or day, and those who want to develop a greater impact in how they communicate.

I help to strengthen presentation skills and develop confident, relaxed communication — whether in individual meetings or group situations, informal or formal. The confidence to speak and be heard.

I look at how to use your voice and body language for maximum impact. To develop and understand the tools of great speaking. To let that message land.

I work in a safe, fun and supportive way to help you practically acquire the tools to communicate authentically with impact and purpose. It's important to stay authentic.
