One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned in life, is that nothing accelerates growth and development like expert training and mentoring. This was my inspiration when I first began coaching professional actors and voice artists.

My career in international film, TV and voice performance is a space where I am constantly reminded of where I still need to grow and develop.Through my work as a coach I have the privilege of helping performers discover their true voice and practicing embodiment. These are the skills, I believe, essential for success. I’ve always been passionate about raising the standards of the South African industry, which is why I’m so excited about this partnership with The Young Actors Studio. I am lucky to count Benita and Siobhan as longstanding friends and respected peers. I am in awe the work they are doing for the younger generation facing a world of opportunities. I am very excited about offering True Voice Accents and supporting their amazing young actors as a support coach.
