Take a look through the website to see if I’m offering the services you are looking for. I will always want to have a chat before you part with any cash. You can get in touch with me via email, phone, text message, or you can head straight to the booking page to book a free 20-minute consultation (online only).

Client Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it – here’s what my clients say:
If you want a relaxed, friendly and supportive approach to vocal training then Michelle is perfect! I fully recommend using her services if you want to build your accent repertoire or if you require a refresher before an audition!
Zoe Matthews
Actor
I’m a total newbie, having come back to acting later in life. Michelle made me very welcome, and put me totally at my ease. Her lesson was very informative, and has given me some very useful pointers on how best to prepare, and deliver…. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
D G Jones
Actor
I appreciated that she tailored every session to my needs. After working with her, I can notice that my consonants are sharper and vowel sounds are much more accurate. The best thing is that I now know how to work on them myself as these things take time and practice. I would strongly recommend her!
