WELCOME
The higher you climb in your career or social life, the more you come to rely on your communication skills.
Imagine being the best in your company at something but people still see you as a novice because you have novice-level communication when you present your work.
Many people believe they are more or less stuck with the voice or accent they’ve grown into.
Well - your voice is not fixed and, at its core, transcends any accent or language.
You, your body and brain, are the instrument we must look to for change. It’s here we do the sharpening and honing necessary to harnessing the power of the voice.
Like fitness or technical skills, your communication is something you can be fine tuning your whole life.
My job is to help you become your own Speechsmith and master of your speech for life.
INTRODUCING
Liam
Hello there!
I am your not-so-local Speechsmith. I trained at Italia Conti graduating with a 1st class BA Hons degree in acting.
In my first audition I was asked to repeat the monologue because the panel of judges couldn't understand what I was saying. My confusing mix of soft spoken Yorkshire and other bad speech habits nearly cost me three years at one of the best drama schools in the country.
So when I started the course I dug into everything I could about the voice and pronunciation and learning the RP accent. Now I get the privilege of teaching it to others that they may better be heard and understood... And never again asked to repeat themselves!
