A sample of our feedback, need we say more?
“Voice coaching with Janet has been a revelation to me! I’ve learned so much in a short space of time and am making steady progress. I can hear that my voice is stronger and I’m now speaking from the correct part of my mouth(!). Janet is so knowledgeable, patient and a lovely person who now feels like a friend”.
Keren Chamberlain
“I started with Janet a few months ago and since not only have I found my voice for speaking and podcasting, but I have found a new sense of confidence in myself day to day.
When I listen to myself back I barely recognise the old me. I was frustrated daily by the amount of times people would miss hear me or ask “what?” which was never a them problem be a me problem.
I wish I had plucked up the courage to do this a lot earlier, but the lessons have been literally life changing in refining one of the most valuable instruments we have, the voice”.

Sebastian – Scientist at a pharmaceutical company
“Janet’s been a fantastic coach. I originally reached out a few months back to develop my vocal and reading ability. We started off with articulation, pronunciation and breathing exercises which I now practice on a day to day basis. These collectively have helped develop my vocal resonance and clarity when speaking. As always, I look forward to our next session”.

“We’ve been very pleased with the sessions our son has been having with Janet. We feel as though his confidence has really come on and Janet does a great job keeping him engaged. We weren’t sure about switching to online and although nothing beats face to face, it’s remarkable how it can work well online too”.
