About us

My specialization lies in offering you high quality, custom designed courses to meet your needs. Many of my clients don’t have years to study; they only have a few weeks or 3 months to develop their skills under the umbrella of Speech, Acting, Personal Development and Corporate Workshops.
I can help you achieve your goal!
I am a specialist in elocution and speech therapy. My speech therapy sessions can correct any speech impediment and/or help recover vocal communication abilities as in the case of stroke patients.
Whether you are a member of the general public who wants to improve their communication skills in the workplace and/or in general; an actor who needs to master an American accent for an international production in film, television and theatre industries; or simply want to achieve your personal goals in life...My courses are a valuable stepping stone for anyone who wishes to achieve their goals.

SPEECH
“Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak; and to speak well are two things. There is all the difference when having something to say and HOW to say something the right way.” The various courses devised (below) help you focus on: developing your vocal quality (Elocution); correcting speech impediments; (diction, stuttering, mumbling, cleft palates, nasality, tone faults etc.); and reducing your accent. Learn an Accent or you can delve deeper into being a Radio Presenter; a Voice-Over artist; and/or Public Speaker; all the while still understanding HOW to communicate on all levels (corporate, radio, film, TV, theatre and everyday). The Transgender Voice Development, is a unique service in South Africa where I can train transgender’s who are in the transitioning phase (male – female).

ELOCUTION/ACCENT REDUCTION = 11 wks @ 1hr p/w

VOICE DEVELOPMENT). (It is a one on one session where I mould your voice to establish a more feminine quality, by covering all areas of the voice.) = 13 wks @ 1hr p/w

ACTING:
WHAT MAKES OUR ACTING COURSES SO DIFFERENT?
My main reason for devising these two courses is that I wanted to refine and highlight what actors today are utilizing most when acting, both for film, television and theatre. From all my years of study and working in the field I have found that with careful observation a pattern emerge and these are the skills which I focus on. This process has been feasible, because my students are being featured in local/overseas films, television soaps, and commercials; presenting on television and radio. I also offer onset coaching.

BASIC ACTING = 7lessons X 1.1/2 HRS P/W
ADVANCED ACTING = 11lessons X 1.1/2 HRS P/W
