Public Speaking and Communication Skills
Everyone can benefit from Public Speaking tuition, I have worked with CEOs, politicians, TED speakers, viral content creators, doctors, lawyers, small business owners developing business pitches, beauty contestants and extensively with younger students in preparation for their public speaking LAMDA Examinations.
We work to develop more clarity, connection and confidence in your voice and speech. We talk about what the blocks and fears may be for you in your public speaking and communication, what might happen to your voice and body when you are under pressure and how we can prepare for and minimize that vocal and physical stress allowing for a greater sense of flow and economy in your speaking. We will cover strategies for building rapport, for engaging authentically and meaningfully with different audiences and contexts.
I can help you structure your public speaking for prepared speeches as well as impromptu ones and give you the tools to ensure your voice is warmed up and you are ready to engage with your audience in a variety of contexts.

Acting Coaching & Drama School Audition Preparation
I work with both emerging and professional actors to help you perform at your best — whether that’s preparing for drama school auditions, need help with a self-tape, or rehearsing for an upcoming role.
I have been part of the audition and interview panels at LAMDA, and I regularly coach Voice, Text, and Accents at leading drama schools including LAMDA, Mountview, Rose Bruford, and Emil Dale Academy. I also coach voice and dialect on major TV and Film productions.
Sessions are always tailored to your individual goals and may focus on:
-
Selecting and refining monologues that show range and authenticity.
-
Developing a deeper connection to text and character.
-
Preparing your voice and body for performance.
-
Exploring accents, dialects, or vocal work specific to a role.
-
Building confidence and presence for both live and filmed auditions.
Our work is practical, drawing on tools from Uta Hagen, Laban, Stanislavski, Meisner, and Grotowski, helping you find freedom, precision, and truth in your acting.
Past students have gone on to train at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, LAMDA, and National Youth Theatre, and professional clients have secured roles in major TV and film productions including Ridley Scott’s Raised by Wolves.
As an actor I have worked for BBC1, BBC3, Netflix, Amazon, Audible, Apple and the Trafalgar Studios. I trained at LAMDA and had the recurring role of Col Thomas Jeffrey ('Col Jeff') in Masters of the Air' executive produced by Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
