Voice communication and presentation skills

  • I will assess your individual voice, focusing on strengths and weaknesses.
  • I use tried-and-true exercises to both relax and strengthen your vocal apparatus, to give you muscularity, range and control of your voice.
  • You will learn how to structure your vocal presentations using control of the breath.
  • You will learn to be aware of pace and variety in delivery, including the use of the pause.
  • You will learn how to capture and hold the attention of your audience.
  • You will learn about vocal projection and clarity, while protecting your voice.

 

Accent work for actors

  • I can work with you to develop your awareness of the rhythms, sounds and mouth placement of other accents and dialects, particularly for auditions, film and theatre performances.
  • I can help you to build up a repertoire of different accents for scene work.
  • I particularly specialise in British accents, but am able to teach other accents as well.
  • I can work in person or online (via Skype).
My approach is non-judgemental and tailored to the individual client. I have an ability to make others feel at ease, yet can also push them beyond their boundaries. I can travel to other centres or coach via Skype.
