The 1-2-1 session with Rachel was brilliant. Her calm, collaborative and supportive teaching style has made such a difference in how I approach acting. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking to improve their acting or public speaking skills. before our session I was worried about my first audition, and by the end I felt relaxed, confident and ready to perform. Days later I got the part. Thank you so much!

Before my wedding, I was incredibly nervous about delivering my speech, but Rachel’s 1-to-1 coaching completely changed that. She gave me the confidence, structure, and delivery techniques I needed, turning something I was dreading into one of the highlights of the day. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Acting Student
I was auditioning for a brilliant play with an Oxford theatre company known to be very demanding, and I did not want to miss out for lack of preparation. So I asked Rachel, who I already knew from various acting courses, if she could coach me for the audition.
Rachel prepared a very enjoyable one hour session and had me doing improvs, movement exercises, and voice projection. She gave constructive feedback and boosted my confidence, encouraging me to try for the lead role.
The result? I felt on top of my game at the audition and the next day I got a call from the director. Would I take the main part?
Thank you Rachel.

My ambition was to improve my impact and confidence when speaking. I worked with Rachel and she was able to help me significantly improve my ‘stage' presence, gravitas and delivery.
I have already recommended her to colleagues and friends as she can make a real difference.

Rachel was fantastic at helping me prepare for a talk I had to give. Nerves had always got the better of me and I dreaded having to speak in public. Rachel gave me some excellent tips and tricks that I still use today !

Hey Rachel, pitched a huge project to ten prospective clients yesterday - my boss called me afterwards to say I was "exceptional" and "on fire" and it was the best presenting he's ever seen from me!! :)
He specifically said I was confident, engaging, still had all my personality and humour but was incredibly professional, clear and precise.
I think you can take full credit for that!

I got in touch with Rachel to work on confidence building for general public speaking after a lifetime of being insecure about my voice. She is incredibly insightful. She knows what I'm thinking and feeling before I do and adapts/tailors the coaching accordingly using acting techniques to keep things interesting and fun. I cannot imagine a better voice coach than Rachel. I look forward to future coaching.

I wanted to say a big thank you for the classes. The lectures went well, and I even enjoyed them! I couldn't have done it nearly as well without you.
