About Sophie

Me at 26: "Christ, I can't go onstage and do comedy with no script”
Me at 47: "Oh, improv? Come on, I'll show you how”

I used to be so anxious about speaking in front of audiences. Thumping heart, wobbly voice, all the inner chatter telling me to run.

Then I took my first improv class, and I was completely entranced, from day 1. It showed me that a timid person could learn to speak up, have her own ideas, and be celebrated in front of an audience, even an audience filled with judgemental colleagues and desperate rivals.

I've spent the last 20 years refining how to tell a story onstage with all the passion and verve and intelligence that you have... and I’m here to show you how.

Things I am/have/do:

I'm a conservatoire-trained voice coach with a Master's Degree in Professional Voice Practice.

I teach at Europe's largest improv comedy company, showing hundreds of people a year how to do comedy without a script, excellent training for handling Q&A, hostile questions, and the unexpected.

I perform in and host shows at London's first improv theatre. I use evidence-based models of voice and speech.

For the blocks that technique alone doesn't reach, I offer hypnosis-based sessions that work at the subconscious level.

I have a Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) and have worked with hundreds of non-native speakers who now say what they actually think in meetings, in English.

As a workplace mediator I had a 93% success rate, and I trained in-house mediators for companies across the UK.

Born in London, I've lived and worked across Europe and Asia, and I'm now back and based in Greenwich.

Classes start with your voice and your breathing. Getting the physical system working well is key.

First session is Voice, accent and speaking assessment. Once I understand your specific goals, we have a map for continuing to work together.

Storytelling is being yourself in front of an audience with structure. Story structure, language patterns, and ways to be present from the start of a talk.

You will get improv exercises that get you speaking, and we mine what comes out: your natural rhythms, your turns of phrase, the moments where you light up.

You'll practise thinking on your feet, you’ll handle questions you didn't prepare for, and you'll be able to stay present when the pressure rises.

Working in English as a second language: Many of my clients speak English as a second or third language. Accent, diction and word choice can be worked in as needed, without losing what makes you sound like you.

Most clients see substantial shifts within 5 sessions, and many work with me for 3 to 6 months to make permanent changes to their command and authority.
