Voice coaching is for anyone who wants to develop good speaking skills for a public presentation or performance. It is also extremely helpful for those who wish to pronounce English more clearly and communicate to others more effectively.

The benefits of coaching include increased clarity, vocal persuasiveness and power, more confidence and an ability to convey words in a way that really captures people’s attention.

My clients include people who have to speak in public at work or for social situations such as weddings. I also teach people who speak English as a second language, actors, interviewees, those with confidence issues, people wishing to improve sight-reading skills, and performers preparing for voice-overs.

On Ageing at The Young Vic: one of my recent projects

August 5, 2011 Updates No Comments

A lovely group of kids, aged from 7 to 12. I ran several vocal workshops with them. Children of this age have an uncanny knack of being able to be vocally free. They throw themselves into voice games….making funny sounds with their voices and moving around the room with real energy – it’s very inspiring to watch. I also worked with them on microphone technique as the show incorporated live voice mixed with amplified voice.

Client feedback

“Corin was the accent coach for The Gothenburg English Speaking Theatre’s (GEST) production of Stones in his Pockets. His job was to assist the cast with Southern Irish, Northern Irish and American accents. Corin came extremely well prepared, with research into the geography and history of the specific areas in question. I’ve been a professional actor for over 25 years and have worked with all of the top voice coaches. It is my opinion that the top coaches all have the necessary skills to be able to do the accents, that they are teaching, themselves. Corin’s ability to do all of the accents that he was teaching was faultless. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to any companies seeking a top Voice and Accent coach.”
