We’ve all experienced times when we struggle to hear or understand someone, or perhaps you’ve received feedback about your own voice. Voice coaching offers a way to address and improve these issues. This specialised training is tailored to improve your vocal skills, whether for professional purposes like public speaking and effective workplace communication, or for enhancing clarity and confidence in everyday interactions. Our training focuses on improving your voice through techniques such as, breathing, resonance, articulation, pitch, pace, pause, and tone.
The core goal of voice coaching is to develop a stronger, more confident voice. For public speakers and professionals, this means learning how to project your voice effectively, manage vocal strain, and convey your message convincingly. As coaches, we focus on techniques to ensure clear and engaging communication, helping you overcome challenges like vocal fatigue and nerves.
Our sessions start with an assessment of your current vocal abilities and objectives. We then customise our approach to address specific areas such as breath control, vocal warm-ups, and strategies for dealing with common vocal issues, such as the pronunciation of certain vowels and consonants. Exercises may include breathing, resonance drills, jaw movements and tongue twisters. We then use pieces of prose, poetry, and drama to practice the skills learnt.
Another essential aspect of voice coaching is addressing the psychological factors related to vocal performance. Building confidence and reducing performance anxiety, whether in the workplace or socially, is crucial. We help our clients to have a relaxed and assured mindset as this can greatly enhance vocal effectiveness.
Overall, our approach to voice coaching is valuable for anyone looking to improve their vocal presence, whether for professional development, personal growth, or effective communication. Through dedicated practice and expert guidance, you can enhance your vocal capabilities, making your communication clearer, more impactful, and your presentations more compelling.

A sample of our feedback, need we say more?
“Voice coaching with Janet has been a revelation to me! I’ve learned so much in a short space of time and am making steady progress. I can hear that my voice is stronger and I’m now speaking from the correct part of my mouth(!). Janet is so knowledgeable, patient and a lovely person who now feels like a friend”.
Keren Chamberlain
“I started with Janet a few months ago and since not only have I found my voice for speaking and podcasting, but I have found a new sense of confidence in myself day to day.
When I listen to myself back I barely recognise the old me. I was frustrated daily by the amount of times people would miss hear me or ask “what?” which was never a them problem be a me problem.
I wish I had plucked up the courage to do this a lot earlier, but the lessons have been literally life changing in refining one of the most valuable instruments we have, the voice”.
