Who I Work With
Alongside my work with actors, I specialise in coaching creative, holistic or values-led professionals for specific live or recorded work, projects, content and events — through private, group or event coaching.
I typically work with speakers for whom business is personal: those making a positive impact with inspiring work, purposeful content and ethical education.
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.
Core Services
My work primarily focuses on coaching specific live or recorded speaking work, projects, content and events, whether upcoming or in development. I coach, rehearse and direct my client’s delivery and presentation craft.
I specialise in scripted or structured delivery, alongside professional performance and voice craft for stage, camera or audio. This may be a verbatim script (spoken word-for-word), with a touch of ad-lib or using a structured written outline with key talking points as the base.
Private clients commonly have a specific project or brand content to prepare, whether it has a fixed date or is in the development stage. They either have a final script edit, current draft or structured talking points to rehearse. For those developing their speaking style between projects or events, we may review a live or recorded performance they’ve previously delivered as the starting point for craft and voice development.
For groups, organisations and events, I offer group training or skills-based workshops on professional voice, embodied delivery and performance craft, as well as rehearsal and direction for live or recorded projects.
Coaching I’m Drawn To Includes:
Events & Recordings: Keynote speeches, podcasts, audiobooks, narration, meditation recordings, brand content, training videos, positive YouTube and Instagram reels, launches, 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 Themes: 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 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 (word-for-word), with a touch of ad-lib or using a structured written outline as the base. For private coaching, unscripted or primarily ad-libbed projects aren't my core focus — this is where text as a working tool is essential to how I coach. For groups and organisations, I offer skills-based workshops spanning professional voice, embodied delivery and performance craft, as well as rehearsal and direction for events with scripted or structured content.
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 like you’re 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. My work focuses on coaching specific live or recorded projects, brand content and professional craft development, with text as a working tool. Voice training and articulation are naturally addressed within that work for aligned enquiries. See FAQ # 5 “Do you coach speakers in accents or character voices?” for further insight.
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 premium in-person coaching at your venue, recording studio, rehearsal room or professional workspace.
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.
Accent coaching: Are you a professional speaker (non-actor) seeking coaching in an accent? Head to FAQ #5 "Do you coach speakers in accents or character voices?” for further insight.
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 — though my methodology is grounded in working with scripts, and my expertise lies in text-based delivery for stage, camera and microphone.
For private coaching, I work with clients on specific scripted or structured projects — whether verbatim (word-for-word), with a touch of ad-lib, or using a structured written outline with key talking points as the base. For those developing their brand content or speaking style, we review a live or recorded performance you’ve previously delivered for feedback and craft development. In all cases, a written script, talking points or resonant text connected to your work is the essential working tool.
For groups and organisations, I offer skills-based workshops spanning professional voice, embodied delivery and performance craft — some of which may not require scripted content, depending on the workshop focus.
If your project or speaking work is primarily unscripted or ad-libbed, private coaching may not be the right fit. FAQ #2 has further detail on who I'm typically not a match for.

I’m happy to coach select professional speakers who need to perform an authentic dialect or character voice for a specific artistic work project. This includes professional narrators and authors performing voices or dialects in their audiobook, speakers voicing a character in their keynotes, and other business projects requiring genuine dialect or character work.
Dialect coaching is detailed and technique-based, and suitability is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Mastery requires focused training, practice and, in some cases, multiple sessions.
The following accent coaching is outside my field:

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: Please share a brief overview of yourself or the person seeking coaching: name, professional background, industry and the nature of your/their speaking work. If you're enquiring on behalf of someone else, please clarify your relationship to them.
Needs: Is your enquiry for private coaching, group training or an event? What specific skills or areas would you like support with — whether for an upcoming project or work that’s in development — and what outcome are you hoping to achieve?
Projects & Subject: If you have a specific live or recorded project to refine, please share what it is, whether it's already scheduled or more open-ended, and 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 (word-for-word), with a touch of creative ad-lib, or working from a structured outline with key talking points as the base?
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.
