My work primarily supports creative, holistic or values-led professionals, groups and events with scripted or structured delivery, storytelling, voice craft and authentic performance for live or recorded projects. Whether you’re seeking private help for a live speech, video or audio recording, or you’re interested in a group workshop for your team or expert support for your event, coaching is tailored to your goals, projects and timelines.

** Please note: I don’t coach accent modification. This refers to reducing a person's native accent for everyday voice use or work. That is typically offered by speech pathologists, ESL teachers and voice coaches specialising in "accent reduction". My work primarily focuses on text-based live and recorded delivery. Any refinement of articulation occurs within project-based coaching.

COMMON QUERIES FROM NON-ACTOR PROFESSIONALS

  • Alongside my work with actors, I specialise in coaching creative, holistic or values-led professionals through private, group or event coaching. My work primarily supports scripted or structured live or recorded work, whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib.

    For groups and organisations, I also offer active, creative workshops and masterclasses that explore professional voice, storytelling and delivery in engaging, embodied ways.

    I'm particularly aligned with professionals making a positive, ethical impact on the world, and with work where the subject matter and tone are purposeful, values-led and human-centred.

    My style suits professionals who want to foster a personal, creative or holistic side to their work with leading voice and performance craft methods, rather than a more traditional ‘corporate presentation’ or 'media-trained' style. 

    Text-based delivery is the foundation of how I work. This draws on over 25 years of coaching expertise in scripted screen, stage and voice-over performance – rather than ad-libbed unscripted projects. 

    Coaching I'm drawn to includes:

    • Events & Recordings: Keynote speeches, podcasts, audiobooks, narration, meditation recordings, brand content, training videos, launches, optimistic YouTube, live events and group workshops.

    • Industries: Creativity and the arts, training and education, psychology and self-development, literature and publishing, women’s empowerment, wellness and holistic health, design and lifestyle, sustainable living, travel and culture, and other creative or values-led fields.

    • Content Style: Scripted or structured work that is purposeful, values-led, positively educational and creative or holistic in nature — content that aligns with my values as a coach.

    Coaching requests that align with the FAQs will receive a response within 2 business days.

    Seeking coaching for an unscripted project? Head to FAQ #2 "Who are you typically not a match for?" and FAQ #4 “Do you coach non-actors in unscripted content?” for further insight.

  • Coaching is most effective when there’s alignment between the coach and the client’s industry, style of work, content and goals. While I’m passionate about supporting a range of professionals, at times we’re simply not the right match or a request falls outside my services.

    Some examples include:

    • Unscripted/Ad-Libbed Projects: My passion and expertise lie in coaching scripted or structured live or recorded work, whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib. Unscripted projects or primarily ad-libbed content aren't my core focus or how I work in private coaching. For unscripted contexts, I offer skills-based workshops to groups and organisations, as well as group rehearsal and direction for events.

    • Native Accent Modification: If your goal is modifying or reducing your native accent – or developing a new one for your everyday voice use or work (eg. to sound Australian or British) – this is a distinct field of speech work that I don't specialise in. A search of "accent reduction" will guide you to speech pathologists, ESL teachers or voice coaches who are experts in that specific area.

    • Mismatched Industries & Content: My expertise shines best with creative, holistic or values-led professionals and projects where authentic human expression, creativity and mindful impact sit at the heart. Industries and content that sit outside these values – including the themes or tone of the work – are generally not the right fit for my coaching. This includes projects whose subject matter doesn't align with the purposeful, creative or uplifting work I specialise in. You'll find a guide to the industries I typically work with in the FAQ above.

  • I’m based in Sydney, Australia and work with local and international professionals.

    • Private coaching is held on Zoom so no matter where you are, you can access my guidance and support.

    • For events and clients whose budgets allow, I also offer in-person VIP coaching at your venue, rehearsal space or recording studio.

    • For groups and organisations, I offer active, creative workshops to explore professional voice, delivery, storytelling and authentic performance skills in engaging, embodied ways.


    Coaching is tailored to each client's unique goals, whether that's an immediate need or long-term vision.

    • Skills coached include: Scripted or structured delivery, voice craft, storytelling, presence, authenticity, audience connection, stage and screen technique, microphone use, creative interpretation, impact, narration, warm-ups, handling stumbles, performance mindset and nervous system regulation. 


    ​Beyond vocal delivery and performance craft, my signature style integrates human psychology and wellbeing practices to help you fully embody your message.

  • Yes, at times. My work primarily focuses on helping professionals master scripted or structured delivery for live projects, events and audio or video recordings – whether verbatim or with a touch of ad-lib.

    My methodology is grounded in working with a written structure, and my expertise lies in text-based delivery for stage, camera and microphone – not in unscripted or primarily ad-libbed projects. This draws on over 25 years’ coaching experience in local and international scripted screen, stage and voice-over performance.

    For groups and organisations, I offer skills-based workshops to develop professional voice, storytelling, delivery and performance skills without scripted content.

  • I’m happy to coach select non-actors who need to perform an authentic dialect or character voice for a specific professional or artistic project. This includes character voices in audiobooks, poetry readings, voice-overs, docudramas and other projects requiring genuine dialect or character work.

    Dialect coaching is detailed and technique-based. For this reason, I work with non-actors who are fluent in English and have a neutral native accent (such as Australian, New Zealand, British or North American). Mastery requires focused training, practice and, in some cases, multiple sessions.


    The following accent coaching is outside my field:

    • Native Accent Modification: If your goal is modifying or reducing your native accent – or developing a new one for your everyday voice use or work (eg. to sound Australian or British) – this is a distinct field of speech work that I don't specialise in. A search of "accent reduction" will guide you to speech pathologists, ESL teachers or voice coaches who are experts in that specific area.

  • To help me quickly assess whether we’re a strong match and provide a tailored response, please include the following key details in your enquiry:

    • Background: A brief overview of yourself, your work and the professional industry you’re in. If you’re enquiring on behalf of someone else or an organisation, please clarify who the coaching is for and their role.

    • Needs: Is your enquiry for private coaching or group training? What specific skills or areas would you like support with, and what outcome are you hoping to achieve?

    • Projects & Subject: Which live or recorded projects are you seeking coaching for? Are they already scheduled or more open-ended goals? Please include the general subject matter and tone so I can assess alignment with my values-led approach.

    • Script & Structure: Will you be delivering a written script verbatim, with a touch of creative ad-lib, or working from a structured outline or exemplar text?

    • Timeline: What timeframes are you working with – an immediate or short-term need, a medium-term goal, a long-term vision or an open-ended plan?

    All information you provide will be kept strictly confidential.
