I am also a specialist in text work, having honed my skills over many years in residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Our voices play a crucial role in the impression we make on those around us. An underpowered and restricted voice can decrease our presence and impact, while a free, expressive, well-supported voice commands attention and can open up opportunities in our professional and personal lives.
Many of us feel like our voices and communication skills let us down. Perhaps you feel like your voice is a little dull and monotonic, and you want to introduce more variety and pitch range when speaking in meetings. Maybe you want help tackling those pesky pre-presentation nerves, or you're drafting an important speech and need advice on effective word choice and structure. Whatever your goals, working with an expert practitioner can be life-changing.
I specialise in improving features such as power, stamina, resonance, pitch range, variety, fluency and pacing. Over the past ten years, I have helped a wide range of professional people unlock their potential, from bankers and CEOs to lecturers and teachers.
I will tailor my process to suit your needs, using my voice and text expertise to identify problems and offer tips and practical exercises to help you succeed. I can provide one-to-one sessions, group seminars and workshops, both online and in person.
