Voice and Accent Coach

Vocal freedom on stage, on set, in the boardroom and the booth.

Hello! I’m Beth; a Voice Coach, Actor and complete and utter accent geek.

I’ve always thought of voice as a kind of magic key - to unlocking character, sharing stories and, of course, to connection. I love to delve into the details of how people speak: rhythm, placement, musicality, tiny vowel shifts.

My aim is to share that geekery with you in a way that feels accessible, playful and pressure-free. Because, in my opinion, the best voice work isn't about changing your voice-it's about discovering what it's already capable of.

  • "Her wealth of experience as a performer means that she really understands actors and their needs - striking just the right balance of theoretical understanding, experiential learning and practice. Sessions with Beth are always fun, engaging and supportive - I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

  • "Beth is both a brilliant actor and voice coach. I have worked with Beth on ‘The Welkin’ at Rose Bruford, where she not only led British students in learning a West Country accent, but also introduced the accent to American students for the first time. Beth also provided vocal coaching to my recent production of ‘BIOSPHERE’ at Royal & Derngate, where her insights ensured vocal support and safety for the actors during an intense show. I highly recommend her expertise for any forthcoming productions!"

  • “Beth was warm and put me at ease immediately; there was no feeling of embarrassment at where you may be starting from with an accent, and she just constantly encourages you to try. Not only does she clearly put a lot of effort beforehand into gathering useful references, examples, and the anatomical/technical placement of an accent, but she will also impressively demonstrate the accent from start to finish of the call. I will absolutely be booking more time with her whenever I need to learn a new accent or to hone one I already feel pretty good at.”

  • "Beth is the perfect person to guide you through accents and voiceover work. She shared her expertise and gave me invaluable tips when I was preparing for the recording of my audiobook. Her advice is straightforward and accessible, yet delivered with friendliness and warmth. I highly recommend her services."

  • "Working with Beth was INVALUABLE. She made me feel like a natural at an accent I’d never had to perform before. Beth not only worked with me one-one-one, but provided references and resources I could return to when refining my accent work. Her attention to detail and warmth as a teacher is absolutely brilliant”

  • “I’m so glad I had a session with Beth to help me with a tricky accent for an audition. She was incredibly well-researched, made me feel completely comfortable trying unfamiliar sounds, and prepared excellent resources for me to then work on independently. I went in feeling confident and prepared and will definitely work with her again”

  • "Working with Beth as a Vocal Coach was an absolute dream. She was calm, patient and really took the time to figure out how best to help me with my accents for a show without overwhelming me. Beth is such a positive asset to any team she joins and I would not hesitate to give my recommendation in hiring her as a vocal coach."

  • "I recently had a one-to-one with Beth for a St. Louis accent for a last minute audition, and I was surprised by the level of preparation, detail and specificity Beth put into her research before the session had even taken place. The coaching was friendly and encouraging throughout, and while it was just one session, I came away with a solid foundation to keep building on. I look forward to coming back to Beth for more help with accents in the future. Highly recommend!"

    Meghan O’Loughlin

  • "I had a great American accent session with Beth. I was so impressed by how much thought and preparation had gone into the class, from the tongue placement diagrams, to the way different sounds and groups of words were broken down, to using videos of celebrities and analysing how they speak. It made everything really easy to understand and apply. She created such a supportive, relaxed atmosphere, and we had great energy throughout. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to develop their voice or accent work."

  • "I reached out to Beth for help with my first audiobook that contains LOADS of accents. And couldn’t have picked a better person! Working with Beth has been an utter delight. She is calming, joyous and so knowledgeable! She’s found easy ways for me to access a multitude of accents in a short space of time that are so specific to me. I now have Yorkshire, Swansea and Geordie under my belt! She goes into incredible detail about the geography, the kit list, and dialects of each one, and yet makes it all so easily digestible. It has been such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend her to everyone looking to nail accents, and anyone looking for audio work. I have loved working with her and now feel super confident to walk into the studio and nail it."
