FAQs

At Speaking Voices, we believe effective communication starts with understanding the whole person, not just the words they speak. Our philosophy is built around three interconnected areas: Body, Mind and Voice.

Your Body influences your presence, breathing, posture and physical confidence. Your Mind influences your thoughts, emotions, self-belief and how you respond in communication situations. Your Voice brings everything together through tone, articulation, pace, projection and expression.

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, every programme is bespoke to the individual, their goals and their communication style. We combine professional voice training, performance techniques and practical communication coaching to help you understand how you communicate and develop skills that feel natural to you.

The goal isn't to change who you are or make you sound like someone else. It's about helping you find your authentic voice, build confidence and communicate in a way that connects with others.

Speaking Voices works with a mixture of individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs and organisations from all different industries who want to develop their voice, communication skills and confidence when speaking.

Our top 5 corporate industries we work with are in the finance, tech, energy, law and professional services sector.

A voice and communications coach is different from traditional public speakers. We give you more tools than just learning what to say or how to present yourself.

Voice and communication coaching helps you become a more confident communicator by developing the way you think, feel, and express yourself. At Speaking Voices, we help you connect your body, mind and voice so what you say reflects who you are and allows your personality to shine.

Voice coaching helps you develop greater control, confidence and awareness of your voice so you can communicate more effectively. It can involve work on breathing, vocal tone, projection, articulation, pace, resonance and vocal expression.

At Speaking Voices, voice coaching goes beyond how your voice sounds. We explore how your body, mind and voice work together, helping you develop a natural and authentic way of speaking that suits you, whether you're speaking in a meeting, presenting to an audience or communicating in everyday life.

A voice coach focuses on a whole body, mind and voice approach in how you use your voice. This includes breathing, the psychology behind speaking, the tone, pitch, resonance, articulation, pace and vocal expression. The aim is to help you develop greater vocal control, manage those nerves and communicate that feels natural and authentic.

A public speaking coach focuses more broadly on communication aspect. This can include, body language, hand gestures, presentation skills, audience engagement and structuring your message.

At Speaking Voices, these areas often work together. By combining voice coaching with public speaking and communication training, we help you develop not only what you say, but how you deliver it.
