Summary
I am an Executive Presence coach and specialist Voice and Speech coach. I am also a professional actor, working in theatre and TV; so I am able to combine all my skills, training and experience in these fields for the benefit of my clients, to provide my unique service as PhoenixVoice.
I specialise in detailed, specific vocal, physical and breath technique which is based in an understanding of how the voice works anatomically. I am highly skilled in diagnosing individual vocal issues and providing solutions and practical exercises to achieve excellent results. I specialise in how to get maximum benefit from the words you choose, from intonation, pitch, pace, range, from understanding the effects that making different delivery choices can have on the audience.
I also teach the techniques used by professional actors, to enhance and ensure a great performance every time.
Consequently, the work I do on improving confidence and clarity is all based in practical technique which can be learnt and developed.
At the core of my coaching skills is the importance of the individual. I work with each client in a way that makes sense to them, to find their own authentic voice and achieve their desired results.
