WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • Being a French native speaker, my pronunciation was very poor and I had difficulties to communicating in English with other people, although had been living in England for six years. Anne and I worked together to "clean- up" my accent: the objective was to make my English sounds more neutral and therefore clearer. We focused on the placement of the tongue, correct use of the lips and breathing and practiced text reading as well as tongue twisters. My speech and my voice progressed massively and I feel quite confident now about it. I would like to add that Anne was very supportive during the learning process and I am very pleased about the work we accomplished together. She is a great teacher.

    Francois - Financier

  • As a working actor of Iranian origin living in London, Anne has helped me over the last three years. I am fluent in English, but, my Iranian background sometimes influenced my pronunciation. There was a lack of consistency, even in my errors. I was interested in having a more neutral accent - if I wished to apply it. Anne worked with me regularly on the following areas; the lip-rounded vowels, the repositioning of my soft palate, and lateral plosion. As a result of her coaching I am now more consistent and have an increased awareness and control of my accent. I am also able to modify it with greater skill to suit the requirements for varying roles. In addition, Anne has helped me prepare for roles, for example as Osama Bin Laden, for the Omid Djalili BBC1 show, where we worked together to recreate and reproduce the vocal characteristics of a Saudi Arabian accent background. I am very grateful for Anne's kindness and expertise.

    Bijan - Actor

  • I highly recommend the voice and personal leadership coaching programs with Anne. She has helped me with both, and it's made a huge difference for me. My primary aim in seeking voice coaching was to increase my professional impact in business situations through speaking with confidence, being eloquent, and having gravitas. I noticed a difference almost immediately after my first session with Anne, and subsequent sessions took this way beyond my initial expectations. I now feel much more confident and impactful in business meetings, giving presentations and on camera. The personal leadership coaching program has helped me to find more direction and purpose in my life, to enjoy life in general, and to be more positive (and less self-critical!). Before the coaching, I had lacked direction and felt a bit stuck with my life. That has completely changed now, and I feel much happier and more positive about the future. Anne is very skilled at coaching. She is knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and personable. I've really enjoyed the sessions with Anne, and I've gained a lot from it.

    Nicola - Corporate Finance Professional

  • "I have been working with Anne for several years now and have been on both her voice coaching and leadership training courses. When I first met Anne, I struggled with my voice and came across as shy. However, through her voice coaching, I was able to become more assertive and improve my projection. Anne has proven to be a tremendous coach and mentor for me over the years. Her leadership coaching principles have been highly beneficial in work and personal development, I have been able to apply them to all areas of my life. Her leadership coaching has built the fundamental pillars I needed, and I feel a lot stronger for this. Anne is an excellent listener, kind and warm-hearted. I strongly recommend both coaching programs with Anne.

    Jack P - Investment Manager

  • I have been using Anne as an accent coach for the last year. She has coached me for a range of accents as varied as Scottish and Croatian in preparation for auditions. I have consistently found Anne to be calming, professional, patient, thorough and most importantly confidence building. I always leave the lesson feeling confident about my accent, the remaining preparation and the audition itself. She also understands time is a huge factor for every actor and is incredibly flexible in lesson scheduling. On calling to arrange, Anne often gives me audio references to use before the lesson helping me feel I can start the groundwork instantly. Her methods are easy to understand and apply. I particularly value the wide range of resources she offers on top of the actual lesson such as regional background and perspective, phonetics lists, audio examples and relevant websites.
