I trained as an actor and have worked widely in Repertory Theatre, for Granada and BBC Television and on Commercials and Voice-Overs.

I work regularly with business clients, teachers and students of acting, in workplace, college and one-to-one settings. I also work frequently with foreign speakers keen to improve pronunciation and reduce accent.

I have trained and facilitated in Communication Skills for psychiatrists, GP’s and medical students in many of the major teaching hospitals.

I have a Masters Degree in Voice Studies from the Central School of Speech and Drama and the Certificate in Speaking Skills from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

the real speaking company promotes personal and professional development in Voice and Presentation Skills. It provides interactive, experiential, lively training that builds a speaker's confidence and clarity in performance, maximizing energy and engagement with an audience.

The work is aimed at small groups or one to one coaching in either a business or personal context. Training will always be sensitive to the clients' needs. Sessions are held in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. Course materials and exercises will be provided throughout the training.

We look forward to working with you.
