Danni H – Elocution Student

I cannot recommend enough Liam – my marvellous elocution tutor! I’ve given him quite a challenge and I thought once he hears my awful Bulgarian accent he would give up tutoring me, but obviously, it didn’t seem to faze him at all. He put his heart into his work and the amazing results came after our second class when I noticed a big difference in the way I started speaking. The people around me noticed it and that only made me more motivated and excited! Very few tutors can achieve that! Liam is very patient and yet extremely strict in the best sense of the word. He would spot even the minutest errors; would stop me there and amend me, and then he would explain to me and show me how to articulate properly! All this is done in a very delicate manner, so I don’t feel discouraged or offended, and yet the job is done and the lesson is learned.

Since Liam is a very talented actor he would “impersonate” me brilliantly well and this is something which helped me a lot in my journey. This way I could see and hear myself and realise what I was doing wrong. In addition, Liam is the only person who was able to make me do some workouts! Yes, it was all about my voice but now I started doing physical exercises every morning and my whole body has benefited from this! Liam has a very easy-going personality and I feel comfortable in his presence, even when we are doing warm-up exercises which are not very lady-like nor are they very flattering. Only in front of him I can pull faces, poke my tongue and do the other “silly” (but useful) things. Everything seems easy when Liam is around and this adds up to my motivation and overall results! And here we are, after a few sessions with Liam I can honestly say that I am a much more confident speaker! I have a lot of work to do, but if it wasn’t for Liam, I wouldn’t be here! I am so happy and grateful to Liam and I wish I would be able to pay him back by making him extremely proud of his student Danni H.
