Share your knowledge with clarity and confidence.
Bespoke voice coaching and presentation training for academic staff.
WHY we’re here
We believe that sharing knowledge should be a joyful and liberating experience.
We know that teaching is both physically and mentally demanding, especially in an era of education where academics are constantly subject to student feedback.
We believe academics need and deserve specific training to improve and develop their vocal technique and presentation skills, so they can lecture free from voice loss, vocal strain and anxiety.
HOW we do it
We combine our knowledge of actor training, narrative structure and sports coaching, to provide academics with personalised and bespoke training.
We share exercises and techniques with our clients in a supportive, encouraging and relaxed manner. We want our training to be enjoyable as well as useful!
We aim to be as accessible as possible, working both online and in-person, and adapting to any needs our clients have.
