Hi, I'm Sonya. I help you unlock your clearest, most confident speaking voice while still sounding like YOU.
Voice and speech coaching could be for you if you:
get asked to repeat yourself more often than you'd like
have described your voice as 'mumbly' or 'monotone'
find it hard to get heard across a room (not to mention background noise!)
feel strain when you try to 'speak up'
sense that your voice doesn't quite reflect the real you
have an upcoming public speaking gig and need some pointers
If you recognise yourself in even one of the above, I can help you find your clearest, most confident authentic speaking voice, with tools that last.
I've been a voice, speech and pronunciation coach since 2006.
I fell in love with Hastings many years ago and after much deliberation, finally made the move in 2022...knowing no-one.
Luckily the place scooped me up. I love it here and wouldn't be anywhere else.
I'm originally from the other end of this land (Highlands of Scotland).
My training and life experience have helped me find my own voice, and it's my life's work to help you find yours.
I'm offering personalised one-to-one sessions. Town Centre and Old Town locations are both possible.
Fee: £65 per hour.
Discounts available for block bookings.

The most relevant one is my MA in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, London.
Others:
MA English Language (University of Edinburgh)
Certificate in Proficiency of the Phonetics of English (International Phonetic Association)
Sorry, I'm afraid not. My qualifications and experience mean that I only work with adults.
I have limited spaces available on a sliding scale for those on a lower income.
