Imelda at a microphone in a padded voice booth

About

Hi, I’m Imelda. I teach people to be heard.

I'm Imelda. I have worked for forty years in theatre, radio drama and audiobooks, and I still get nervous before a first read.

I teach adults who want a steadier voice for work, for the stage or for reading aloud. The courses are the same workshops, filmed. I also work with theatres, producers and the press; write to me through the contact form.

I gave a talk to two hundred people and nobody asked me to speak up.
Priya, a project manager in Coventry

FAQ

Before you start

Not sure which one is for you? Write to me and I will answer myself.

Do I need any acting experience?

No. Your voice at work is for anyone who speaks in meetings, and Reading aloud is for anyone who reads to a room.

Do you take voice work or press requests?

Yes. Write to me through the contact form with the date, the project and what you need.

How long can I watch the lessons?

For as long as the course exists, with every update.

Is the warm-up pack printable?

Yes. It comes as one PDF, in colour and in black and white.
