TESTIMONIALS

"I went to see Jane before I began my year as Governor of the Merchant Adventurer’s in York. Her teaching gave me very practical tools which enabled me to write and punctuate properly, to breathe and speak with confidence. For me the breakthrough was being told that, in my case, having the freedom to use my hands was important. It mage a huge difference. I’m so glad I went to see her, she made me comfortable in my own skin! I think about my lessons frequently, I cannot thank her enough."

About

About me

 Both in individual coaching and in group workshops, I work fast because the coaching is tailored closely to individual needs. The sessions are highly interactive, practical, thought-provoking and fun.

 My MBE was awarded in 2008 for work upskilling community groups in confidence and spoken delivery for public, open-air performance.

 I have worked for over 20 years with the award-winning Broadcast Journalist Department at Leeds Trinity University.

 This September, I was re-elected President of the British Voice Association.
