Voice & Accents for Actors
Nancy originally trained as an actor and has a BA Hons Degree from Rose Bruford College. She then went on to do an MA in Voice Studies at Central School of Speech and Drama. She therefore understands that as a performer it is imperative that you possess a wide and diverse variety of skills, in particular having a strong facility for modulating your voice and accent often under pressure or at short notice.
Nancy has worked for several years at many top London Drama Schools, such as Rose Bruford, Italia Conti, The Poor School, Alra, Fourth Monkey, City Academy and East 15. She frequently does private coaching with professional actors on honing & perfecting new accents or last minute troubleshooting an accent for an audition or casting. She also helps actors with developing their voices by working practically on breath, range, tone and diction; enabling them to have a free and flexible tool for performance.
Whether you are looking for audition coaching, help to develop a safer, more powerful sound or to expand your range of accents Nancy can tailor sessions to target your specific needs. She will give you transferable exercises to repeat at home in order to develop your sound, a full and detailed accent breakdown with practice sentences, recordings of target sounds and exercises as well as detailed and individual feedback and strategies on how to improve
