Expert voice, storytelling & performance coaching for entrepreneurs
ARE YOU A CREATIVE OR HOLISTIC ENTREPRENEUR ...
Need expert coaching and direction for your upcoming scripted live or recorded project? Then you're in the right place!
|
These days, global audiences want entrepreneurs to excel on stage, camera and microphone - just like A-list actors.
Yet, presenting scripted live or recorded projects can feel like a challenge to many. But it doesn't need to be. Whether your script is verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib - whether it's a speech, course video, audiobook or meditation track: we all want to sound authentic, our words to resonate and our narrative to captivate. We want to share our passion, showcase our skill, inspire our audience and unlock greater opportunities. |
THE RESULTS CAN FALL SHORT BECAUSE THE SIMPLE REALITY IS:
Not everyone is trained in how to deliver verbatim scripts with authenticity, impact and acting industry craft
THE TRUTH IS ...
The world’s best speakers and storytellers like Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench have expert coaches and directors guiding them to excellence, standing ovations and rave reviews.
They know this simple fact:
How you deliver and connect has the power to draw your audience to you or divert them.
Cate and Judi are simply people who've trained in how to use their voice on stage, camera and microphone. They've learned how to deliver scripts with truth and technique. They practice and master how to tell captivating stories that resonate around the world and leave us wanting more.
And you can too. That's where I come in.
"Your voice is a powerful instrument and one of your greatest assets. But most people don't know how to play theirs with craft, creativity and confidence. Coaching changes that"

frequently asked questions:
entrepreneurs coaching
WHO DO YOU TYPICALLY WORK WITH?
I specialise in coaching creative, visionary and holistic entrepreneurs for their scripted audio, video and live events, whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib. This falls across a diverse range of industries and I’m particularly aligned with those making a positive and ethical impact in the world.
My style suits those seeking to integrate a personal, creative and holistic side to their work with elite performance methods, rather than wanting a more 'corporate presentation' style. This draws on my over 25 years' coaching expertise with A-list actors, global screen/stage productions and voice-over professionals for diverse local and international scripts.
My expertise lies in scripted delivery for stage, screen and microphone, not in unscripted or primarily ad-libbed projects.

My expertise lies in scripted delivery for stage, screen and microphone, not in unscripted or primarily ad-libbed projects.
Work I'm drawn to coaching includes:
- Events & Recordings: speeches, podcasts, coaching videos, audiobooks, course content, meditation & wellbeing recordings, YouTube, brand trailers, launches, narration, poetry/book readings and more
- Industries: I'm typically drawn to fields in creativity, the arts, training & education, psychology & self-development, literature fields, women's empowerment, wellness & holistic health, design & lifestyle, environmental protection & sustainable living, life success coaching, travel & culture and the like.
WHO ARE YOU TYPICALLY NOT A MATCH FOR?
Coaching is always the most effective and successful when there’s a strong alignment between the coach and the client’s industry, work and needs. While I’m passionate about helping a range of visionary entrepreneurs, there are times we’re simply not the right match or your request falls outside my services.
Some instances where I'm not the perfect fit:
Some instances where I'm not the perfect fit:
- Ad-Libbed Projects: My passion and expertise lie in coaching scripted stage, screen and microphone work. This includes live events and audio/video recordings, whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib. Completely unscripted projects or primarily ad-libbed experiences are not my forte.
- Native Accent Reduction: If your goal is reducing or neutralising your own native accent for daily speech or career purposes, this is a distinct field of speech work that I don’t specialise in or offer. A Google search of "accent reduction" or "accent modification" will guide you to voice coaches or speech pathologists who specialise in this field.
- Mismatched Industries: My expertise shines best with clients in industries that align with my unique approach, interests and values. My clients primarily work in creative, visionary and holistic fields where core human and self-expression values sit at the heart. This means there are some industries I don't offer coaching to. Head to the FAQ above on who I typically work with for a guide.

DO YOU COACH ENTREPRENEURS IN NON-SCRIPTED CONTENT?
Not generally. My work with entrepreneurs is primarily centered in coaching clients to master scripted content for live events and audio or video recordings, whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib.
My career lies in scripted delivery for stage, camera and microphone, not in unscripted or primarily ad-libbed projects. This draws on my over 25 years' coaching expertise with A-list actors, global screen/stage productions and voice-over professionals for diverse local and international scripts.

do you coach entrepreneurs in dialects or character voices?
Yes, I'm happy to coach select entrepreneurs who need to perform an authentic dialect or character voice for a specific project. This includes, but is not limited to, audiobooks, poetry readings, docudramas and similar authentic dialect or characters needs.
The following accent coaching falls outside my services:
- Essential: entrepreneurs requesting this area must be fluent in English. Your native speaking accent needs to be a neutral one eg. Australian, New Zealand, British or North American. Dialect mastery takes detailed training, practice and at times multiple sessions. For this factor, I'm unable to offer dialect coaching to those with a stronger native dialect or where English is not the first language.
The following accent coaching falls outside my services:
- Native Accent Reduction: If your primary goal is reducing or neutralising your own native accent for daily speech or career purposes, this is a distinct field of speech work that I don’t specialise in or offer. A Google search of "accent reduction" or "accent modification" will guide you to voice coaches or speech pathologists who specialise in this field.
some client praise
"When I reached out to several 'experts' to help me with my audiobook, I was left wondering if it was all too much hassle. And then I found Jennifer and felt like I won the lottery. Her depth of knowledge, combined with her patient yet challenging teaching style was exactly what I was looking for"
