Expert accent and voice training with a qualified actor trainer, linguist and EFL teacher.

James was my tutor and I can say he is excellent! He listens to you and your specific necessities, he works with your strengths, and through practice, he gives you confidence to achieve any goals you have. Always professional.

He has engaged with practice and research in the field of voice studies and training. This makes him a very complete professional, who is always integrating knowledge and practice, and making it accessible for you. I highly recommend James, he is an outstanding tutor.

Really great experience with James. Very knowledgeable with a clear and confident teaching style. 10/10 would recommend!

I have been working with James for 1 year now and I definitely see a progress in my RP accent! Also I really appreciate his individual approach to our sessions, which are tailor-made for my specific needs.

Being a teacher for four years now, it’s known that the profession proves to take quite a toll on your voice. After being diagnosed with chronic laryngitis and having to wait hopelessly through the NHS for voice work, James’ training and support has benefited me hugely. He recognised and helped correct the way I used my voice through a range of techniques as well as teaching me methods of breath work to help alleviate my strains. I’m not sure I would have been able to continue on working without taking time off for voice rest without his support. Thank you James!

James is super-qualified to teach. I saw him in action in Vietnam, where he was teaching English as a foreign language; I've seen him in action teaching online students in the UK; and I've seen a show he produced and directed as a university lecturer, using first year drama students. Wise beyond his years, with a huge range of skills at his fingertips and an open, encouraging teaching style, James is a really exciting up-and- coming voice coach. I strongly recommend him.

My name is Ivan Ivashkin and I am a theatre and film actor. English is not my mother-tongue language, and after moving to the UK I desperately looked for someone who can help me to improve my accent. My friends advised to meet James and we began working.

First I want to say that he loves what he is doing and shares this warm feeling to language and freedom of working with it with his students.

He has a very individual way of working, based on my general necessities and up to date needs.
We were cleaning my accent and were training face muscles to make the way I speak more native.
He helped to prepare some texts and monologues. And to create materials for my voiceover demo. I know that if I need to prepare a text for some work I can count on him.

As an actor who had four years of Theatre Academy experience I can compare him to others speech and accent teachers I have met and should highly appreciate and recommend him as one of the best.

James helped me with tutoring me on my accent work. He planned interesting and helpful lessons that I could take away and work on in my own time. He was patient and I found him to be an exceptionally good communicator.
