*****

I have spent most of my life talking too fast and mumbling! I finally decided to do something about it, (even though I am no spring chicken!) and was lucky enough to find Julie. She has given me the confidence and techniques I need to work on slowing down and being heard. It has been like having a friend who doesn't judge you, but is full of wisdom. I feel I can go forward now, keeping all the things she has taught me in mind - Mary-Ann

*****

After working with Julie for about a year, my confidence has improved massively. She was able to help me reduce my accent quite considerably, as well as help me find a proper speaking voice. I cannot recommend this service enough!

Can a Voice & Communication Coach help with speaking?

Yes - our Voice & Communication Coaches can help with:

• Clarity and pronunciation (speaking more clearly, reducing mumbling)

• Confidence (sounding less nervous or shaky)

• Projection (being heard without shouting)

• Pacing and rhythm (not rushing or speaking too slowly)

• Tone and expression (sounding more engaging, less monotone)

• Accent work (if you want to modify or soften an accent)

How can Voice & Communication coaching help with nervousness or anxiety when public speaking or presenting?

Voice & Communication Coaching can help you identify and then change whatever is getting in the way of you becoming a calm, competent and convincing speaker. We can help you transform those nerves into focus and energy. 

Voice & Communication coaching can be highly effective for reducing nervousness or anxiety when speaking in public. We provide you with techniques for breathing, posture, and vocal projection that calm the body and steady the voice. By practicing strategies such as controlled pacing, clear articulation, and confident tone, you gain tools to manage nerves before and during presentations. Voice & communication coaching also builds self-awareness and confidence through guided exercises and feedback, so instead of focusing on anxiety, you can focus on delivering your message with clarity and impact.

We can help you to be more yourself when public speaking– to become a relaxed and confident speaker.

Can a Voice & Communication Coach help me prepare for interviews ?

We regularly support people apply for new jobs and feel that the way in which they communicate is impacting on their next promotion. Voice & Communication Coaching can support you to develop a professional tone, clear articulation, and persuasive delivery, helping you make a strong impression and succeed in leadership or career advancement opportunities.

Can Voice & Communication Coaching help with mumbling?

Mumbling may be due to having a quiet voice. It may be because you are not opening your mouth enough when you speak. It may be due to reduced breath support for speech. It can be due to not being confident in speaking situations. Sometimes we fall into bad habits in our teenage years that we find it difficult to change as adults. Voice & Communication Coaching can identify the factors that are impacting causing you to mumble, to improve your speech and overall confidence.

How do I know if I need a Voice Coach or a Speech Therapist?

ACCENT COACHING

What is accent modification, softening, or elocution?

Accent modification — also known as accent softening, accent reduction, accent coaching, or in the UK, elocution — is about improving clarity and confidence in spoken English. It’s not about losing your identity or erasing your accent. Instead, it helps you adjust pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation so others can understand you more easily.

For some, this means softening a strong regional UK accent. For others — especially international clients — it’s about speaking English more clearly for work, study, or social settings. Some also choose to work towards a more neutral British accent (such as RP), but most simply want to sound clear and confident without losing who they are.

Do I need accent softening or elocution training?

Not everyone does. Many people are perfectly happy with their natural accent. But you might benefit if:

• People often ask you to repeat yourself.

• Your accent sometimes creates barriers in professional or social settings.

• You want to sound clearer in meetings, interviews, or presentations.

• You’d like to feel more confident speaking English, whether in the UK or internationally.

We work with clients to improve their regional accents or those that wish to improve English pronunciation. This would traditionally be called elocution. Through phonetic analysis we offer a structured programme to ensure that you are an effective and confident communicator.
