 
 Drinks that include alcohol or caffeine can dry out the voice. Drink plenty of water.
Six to eight glasses a day is recommended.

VOice coach for ACTORS, SINGERS, RADIO & TV PRESENTERS
YOU NEED A VOICE COACH
|  If you simply want some voice training
You’ve mostly worked in TV & Film: you need to prepare your voice for stage work
You’re working on a challenging text: your voice needs to match the brilliance and complexity of the language
You're a singer who needs to speak
You're a singer who needs an English Language coach
You’re a Film or TV company: you need a Dialogue Coach
You’re a Film or TV company: your actors need a Standard English accent, or advice on developing a voice for their character
You’re presenting on TV or Radio: you want voice training and help with the structure and delivery of material |
MUSCLES SOON GET OUT OF SHAPE. It’s a fact we don’t always want to face. Even if you’re lucky enough to have had a good training, the work continues. And I hope the fun continues. The human voice is full of surprises. Never think that you’ve reached the end of its possibilities. Never think you’ve reached the end of your possibilities.
I can make sure you keep in vocal trim. Teach you a good warm-up routine. Help you to find or re-find hidden vocal muscles. Help your voice make the transition from stage to screen and back again.
Perhaps you’re facing a vocal challenge or even a vocal crisis.
I’ll help you structure. I’ll help you prepare. Plan for you, audio-record ideas and exercises for you. Even phone you up and bully you, if that’s what you want and need.
PUT IT SIMPLY
If you want a bigger voice, a louder voice, a more varied voice, a stronger voice, a voice you can trust, I CAN HELP YOU.
If you want to go higher, lower, quicker, slower, I CAN HELP YOU.
If you need to play tragedy, comedy, conquer complex texts, get your mouth round the most difficult language ever written, I CAN HELP YOU.
If you need to develop your performance skills, learn how to read a script and interpret the text, I CAN HELP YOU.
If you want to tap into deep emotions, I CAN HELP YOU. |
