About
Me

I believe strongly in providing supportive accent and dialect coaching and sensitive voice coaching to encourage a lively engagement with the study; to help build clarity, confidence and generosity in communication so that all speakers are able to step into their own particular environment with clarity, ease and a sense of excitement.

My Background

After training as an actor at the Metropolitan School of Theatre, Manchester, I worked widely in Repertory Theatre, and for Granada, Yorkshire and BBC Television and on commercials and voice-overs.

In 2002 I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Voice Studies from the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

I also hold a Certificate in Speaking Skills from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

For several years I trained and facilitated in Communication Skills for Psychiatrists, GP’s and Medical Students at many of the major London teaching hospitals.

MY APPROACH

My aim is always to create an atmosphere which is light-hearted yet focused.

I believe in providing lively accent and dialect coaching that will help build a speaker’s clarity and confidence and maximise vocal energy and engagement with an audience.

My work is always sensitive to clients’ needs and is bespoke and wholly individual. Sessions are relaxed and creative. Course materials are always provided.

I work in a variety of settings: privately for one to one sessions, in drama schools, on film sets, in theatre spaces and in workplace settings. The work is intensive and detailed but the rewards are high and confidence-building.
