Public Speaking and Presenting

Presenting your thoughts to an audience effectively, requires more skill and practice than we are led to believe. I teach my clients how to become better speakers and presenters in all fields and settings. Through our sessions, we’ll work on the key tools you’ll need to engage your audience, keep your nerves at bay, and carry your point from start to finish. I’ll give you exercises and strategies to establish strong vocal technique, appropriate pause, voice projection, hand gesture, posture, gravitas, correct breathing and eye contact, as well as confidence and poise.   

Elocution and Voice Coaching

Your voice is your biggest asset. The way you communicate is essential to your success in life. My sessions are catered to the individual needs of each person I work with, to help you in all aspects of communication, from everyday conversation, to captivating a larger group of people with your voice. Whatever is holding you back in your communication can be worked through gently, with effective strategy. I’ll guide you through breathing techniques, and a range of speech and voice exercises, focusing on fluency of speech, articulation, voice modulation, intonation and intelligibility. Together, we work to unlock your true potential as a communicator.

Corporate Coaching

Often, young people entering the work force for the first time find the interview process extremely daunting. But perhaps even more often, individuals who have been part of the workforce for a number of years, still find it difficult to give presentations and address a room full of colleagues or professionals. Through techniques and strategies ranging from breathing and vocal exercises, to eye contact and hand gestures, I give professionals the tools they need to speak with clarity and composure, actively listen to and answer questions, connect more easily with a listener, engage an audience and use communication skills advantageously throughout their careers.

Acting and Audition Coaching

I work with young actors and performers to fine-tune the voice, body and mind into a particular role, and to achieve greater conviction in their characters. I assist with preparation for auditions, particularly entrance auditions for theatre and film schools. We will work through your program, perfecting the various monologues and pieces, focusing on characterisation, accents, vocal tone, expression and intonation, to achieve deeper understanding of the roles, greater conviction and empathy. As well as this, I have ten years experience in dialect coaching and accent training.
