My interest in voice work started when I trained as an actress. I graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 1990.As a professional actress I worked in various theatres around the country and through this experience realised the importance of using the voice in a healthy and effective way. So, whilst continuing to act, in 1998 I decided to train as a Voice teacher at Central School of Speech and Drama and qualified with a distinction in teaching. Since then I have taught voice full-time. Initially I worked at many leading drama schools, and more recently have worked with business clients, trainee barristers and actors in a one-to one capacity. I also have much experience working with non-native English speakers, helping to clarify correct pronunciation, intonation and delivery.

I am able to tailor the classes to a client's individual needs. My strength as a teacher is to encourage vocal confidence. So many people dislike their voices and the way they speak, or try to manipulate their voice to sound a certain way. My goal, as a teacher, is to 'centre' the breath and encourage greater vocal expression and work to remove self-consciousness or self-monitoring.

Nearly all professions today demand public speaking, presentations and business meetings. I am able to offer clients skills and techniques to improve their natural delivery and to have confidence in how they communicate with others.
