Looking for voice coaching


Lee Scoresby

Recommended Posts

Recently used a website to find a local-ish elocution teacher (Crystal Palace) - who blew me off the instant she heard what I wanted. Which didn't stop the website helping itself to a 'fee' from my account ... and again the next month - before I realised what was happening and blocked them. I won't name the site but I see extremely negative and accurate reviews online.


So: I'm looking for face-to-face (not remote) sessions absolutely to maximise the clarity of my diction, also my vocal projection. Also - tho it's a secondary consideration - to lose the vestigal accent of my long ago non-UK youth (because it's just not 'me' anymore).


Hoping there's someone who can help me.

Surprised it's not easier in a great big city like London.

Send me a PM.

Thanx for both these suggestions.

And sorry to take so long replying.


Had simply not occurred to distinguish 'voice coaching' [good] from 'elocution' [bad?]. Not a question of 'going Prince Charles' - in fact I believe the ancient aristo's regard the Windsors as vulgar arrivistes.

Rather, a desire to remain outside the English class accent system. Albeit, according to a recent letter to The Guardian, a longtime UK resident from Australia was informed not that he was 'classless' but that Aussies 'had no class'. Ha-ha. (And not that I myself am Australian.)


As I say, this moribund vestige connects me to a long-ago faraway place to which I have no connection.


Speaking in passing, I self-identify as 'European' . . . so F**k Brexit, the self-erected Berlin Wall of our age. And despite all the self-certain chuntering of media pundits, insisting there is 'no European polis', I think very many others (especially the young) also identify this way.


Anyway, thanx again, LS.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
