With over 12 years' experience in theatre, actor training and professional communication, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical insight to my coaching.
I hold an MA in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, a BA in Acting from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and a BA in English Literature from Warwick University. I have extensive experience as a voice specialist, including serving as Senior Voice and Text Practitioner at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
In addition to my seven years as a resident practitioner at the RSC, I have worked with a wide range of leading organisations across the UK, including the National Theatre, and trained actors at top drama schools in London. I have also been fortunate to deliver voice work internationally, including in the US and China.
Alongside my work with performers, I have provided workshops and one-to-one tuition to corporate clients, and I love coaching public speaking and communication skills. I have previously delivered staff training for prestigious companies such as Disney.
I offer face-to-face and online coaching with a person-centred, practical and nurturing approach.
"Anna is one of the most knowledgeable, insightful and skilled voice teachers I’ve ever worked with. Her profound grasp of language and her talent for unravelling its intricacies makes every session so incredibly useful. Every time I finish a session with Anna, I feel like I’ve learned an enormous amount and I feel much more confident and prepared. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Anna for anyone seeking voice work, text analysis, or audition preparation."
"It is a joy to watch Anna working with actors. Her gentle, calm but clear and precise style allows everyone in the group to discover their own connection to the work within a productive and supportive atmosphere."
