Access the full power and range of your speaking voice so that you get your valuable message across with clarity, confidence and authenticity – first time, every time.
Voice and speech coaching is for you if:

- people often ask you to slow down or repeat yourself
- you feel like you run out of breath when you talk
- your voice sometimes ‘breaks’ or weakens, especially in higher-pressure situations
- you would like to have more choice and flexibility in the tone and strength of your voice
- you’ve used the words ‘monotone’ or ‘mumble’ to describe the way you speak
- your voice feels tired or strained when you have been talking for some time or in noisy environments (contrary to popular belief, this is not inevitable)
- you feel that your speaking voice doesn’t quite match the real you
- you don’t feel fully present when you speak
- you know there is a stronger, more confident voice inside you and you are ready to unlock it!

What happens in voice and speech coaching?
We work on what YOU need to meet your unique voice and speech objectives.
Typically, we work with the body, breath and mouth muscles to free up your voice.
We may also work on expanding your range of rhythm, and intonation to help your listeners follow your message with ease.
You’ll discover the habits (physical and otherwise) that may be holding back the full potential of your voice.
Over time, you’ll build a practical toolbox of exercises that you can draw on in the moment to get your valuable ideas across with clarity and impact in professional contexts and in everyday life.
It’s about optimising your natural voice, never about placing an ‘ideal’ voice on top of you..
Depending on your goals, you may wish to combine voice and speech coaching with some aspects of English pronunciation coaching.
Ready for your personalised road map towards clear, confident speech in your professional and everyday life?
What happens after the clarity call?
After the clarity call, I will email you with your personalised mini road map: the steps and learning points I’d recommend to help you reach your goals – whether that means working with me or not!
After that, if we decide to work together further, you may prefer to take a one-off Kick-start session or move straight to the 3-month Successful Speaking programme.

Constantine Fry2023-09-04I had the pleasure of working with Sonya Ross as my accent teacher, and I can't speak highly enough of her expertise and dedication. Sonya's approach to teaching was truly exceptional. She took the time to understand my specific accent challenges and tailored personalized programs to address them effectively. Her keen ear and attention to detail allowed her to pinpoint my mispronunciations and work with me patiently to correct them. Sonya's commitment to helping me improve my accent was evident in every session. Her feedback was constructive and actionable, making the learning process both informative and enjoyable. Thanks to her guidance and expertise, I've made significant progress in refining my pronunciation. I wholeheartedly recommend Sonya Ross to anyone seeking to enhance their accent. Her personalized approach, professionalism, and passion for teaching make her an outstanding choice for anyone looking to improve their accent and communication abilities.MIRKA AKBARI2023-08-21Sonya was a fantastic coach to work with! I felt grounded and at ease from the first moment we spoke. Thanks to Sonya I learned useful techniques that are easy to apply in everyday life. I feel more aligned and confident in my speach and when having difficult conversations, which was my main objectives! Now it’s up to me to practise what I learned!Andres Paniagua2023-06-18Sonya helped me with my.pronunciation I can garanty you that there will be and before and after. I feel now.confident when speaking in English and I can prononce much better now thanks to Sonya recomend her without any hesitation.Sharon Burrell2023-04-25Sonya worked with me over a series of weeks to give me more confidence in my speaking voice, making it more comfortable to speak over long periods of time, improving the tone and variety, and making it more reflective of the real me. The sessions have been a great success with colleagues and contacts commenting on the richness of my voice. The breathing and relaxation exercises also have a wide range of benefits beyond just voice work. Thank you Sonya!Gabriella Ferenczi2022-12-07I booked a coaching session with Sonya as I was preparing for a short speech at a charity event. I wanted to make sure that I'd delivered it well. I had insecurities around pronouncing certain words, and around public speaking in general. In a single session, Sonya 'fixed me'. She worked with me patiently, and made me appreciate that my accent was actually not a hindrance at all, it was rather the emphasis and intonation that I had to work on. We practiced and practiced, until I got perfectly confident - all in a single session. I nailed the speech, it was spot on, and I got many compliments afterwards. Thank you, Sonya!Amelie Leroy2022-10-17I've worked with Sonya over the past 3 years to neutralise my accent and it has completely changed my cast-ability as an actor! I love Sonya's personal approach, how she hears every small nuance, her individually tailored worksheets and recordings and keeping a track of improvements - just always prepared to go the extra mile, also with script work and selftapes. I've seen a few voice coaches, but I can truly say that no one compares to Sonya :-)Glen Y2022-10-17We, as a foreign bank operating in the UK , have many expatriates in our team whose native language is not English. Sonya not only assisted them in their pronounciation and voice but also supported them in their social and professional English skills. I attended many courses during my professional career but Sonya’s professional approach and extraordinary dedication to her work is invaluable. We will definitely continue working with her. Thank you for all the assistance and guidance provided. You have created much more confident team. Ziraatbank LondonAlessandro Sacco2022-01-04I've been working with Sonya over the last 15 months and I could not be more satisfied! She is incredibly good in terms of clarity and strategy based on specific requirements. I feel way more confident in terms of pronunciation, quality of my speech, intonation and pace. Highly recommended especially if you work in sales or jobs where you need to speak English on a daily basis!Stefania Barbaglio2022-01-03The best place to work on your language skills- not only if English is your second language but also if you are a native speaker. Sonya is very professional and experienced. Highly recommended!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 9 reviews
