How I Can Help You
As it is, you are stressed enough, so trying to make you act in a way that is not natural to you will only add to your stress, not alleviate it! My approach is therefore to amplify what you are naturally good at, and co-create strategies to minimise the impact of "speech detractors". In other words, I help you develop your authentic "stage" presence, and our time together will be a combination of:
1. Structured vocal assessments, preparatory breathwork, and role-plays, and
2. A fluid discovery, using acting methodologies, of what makes you shine, "on stage".
