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.

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

“Brilliant! Corin broke down the key aspects of the accent – General American- into their simplest forms. He gave very clear instructions with lots of encouragement for my trip to Los Angeles. His also helped me apply what we had learnt to a casting I was going to for a U.S television drama – very helpful.”
