Lets work together
My coaching is collaborative and designed specifically for each project and each individual need. Are you an actor looking to work on a specific Accent or Voice goal? Looking for Voice or Accent support for Theatre, TV, or Film production? Or not an actor, but looking for voice technique to support your career or Public Speaking goals?
I can help, and I can’t wait to hear all about your goals and ambitions.
Below are some of the sessions I offer, I work on both a 1-2-1 basis and in small groups. My aim is to inspire your curiosity and empower you to confidently reach your goals, by combining specific and detailed technique, with a gentle nudge!
Accent and Dialect
I believe accents and dialects are hugely fascinating and act as a window into the lives and experiences of a human being. When approaching a dialect, I will use a multitude of different resources, recordings, images and more. We will explore the varying sounds, musculature, musicality, and other factors and features that create a fully realised dialect.
Ultimately, we want to be specific with the accent, whilst also creating freedom so you can focus on the acting instead of worrying about the accent! We will bring the accent work into your acting choices, so you feel they are able to seamlessly weave together.
Voice Coaching
The voice is an incredibly important tool for actors and other professional voice users. An actor working in TV and Film may be required to use their voice differently to when they work in Theatre.
Voice coaching prepares actors to become vocal athletes. I coach my clients to achieve a high level of awareness of their own unique and wonderful voice. We will work on elements such as; breath, resonance, release, pitch and articulation.
My work is inspired by my extensive training from leading voice practitioners, and is ultimately centred around you-what works for one actor may not work for another! We’re all individuals after all, and that should always be celebrated.
Audition & Self Tape Preparation
Auditioning is a skill in itself! Add a last-minute accent, a tight turn around… and it could potentially feel daunting. We will work together to put you at ease, whether it’s approaching classical or contemporary text, preparing a monologue, accent work, or a combination. I always keep slots available for last minute audition prep, so feel free to get in touch!
Text Work
After working as both an actor in a previous life, and a voice coach, my approach to text is explorative, curious and technical. From Shakespeare through to contemporary there is so much to discover, and often more so than initially meets the eye!
Public Speaking
You certainly do not need to be an actor to want to get the absolute most out of your voice, and want a deeper understanding of how to use it. You may be preparing for a presentation, meeting or be a professional voice user; personal trainer, teacher, yoga instructor… the list is endless! Not only does your voice deserve to be heard-your ideas deserve to be heard too.
Using our voice is a powerful and natural way of getting our ideas across. Although there are sometimes things that can get in the way of our story, message or ideas being clearly communicated. I can help you tackle these things, in a supportive and clear way that is specially designed to fit your personal objectives and outcomes. Feel free to get in touch with any questions you may have.
