Private Accent
Accents are wonderful things…when done correctly. There’s nothing that destroys an audience’s suspension of disbelief quicker though than a shabby one. Its the actors equivalent of a shaky set or a Starbucks cup in the middle of a period shot (you know the one!). With competition in the industry so strong and self-tapes allowing casting directors to effectively hold auditions globally, its never been more important to nail that accent and leave you feeling confident enough to do your best work.
Anyone has the potential to learn a new accent, if you are completely new to learning accents, you may want to give yourself more time to work on your technique. If experienced and wishing to work on more than one accent a realistic guide is a maximum of two accents per one hour session.

Private Vocal
As an actor there is always more to discover about your voice and how it works. Individual voice coaching allows you the space to uncover the underlying potential of your voice. Beginning with the breath and the way we think, we will use different techniques to help develop the your true, authentic voice. Exploring depth, resonance and tone, releasing any tension and gently unleashing the power within.
Our voices constantly evolve as we do. Age, health, environment and life changes all have an effect. It doesn’t matter what stage of your career you are at – if you’ve been treading the boards for years or are coming to acting anew – one to one coaching can really help you to overcome any challenges you have been facing and learn to work with your own, unique voice.
