Practical Strategies for Spoken Voice Coaches
Thursday 29th January 2026, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)
This two-hour workshop offers a practical exploration of spoken voice coaching across a variety of settings, from artistic training to other kinds of professional communication contexts.
Designed for coaches working with clients at all experience levels, the session will introduce adaptable strategies for common challenges in voice work, along with flexible frameworks for structuring sessions, selecting exercises, and fostering client growth. Topics may include foundational techniques, favourite “go-to” tools, and key considerations when coaching one-on-one or in group settings.
Participants will also reflect on coaching dos and don’ts, explore ways to support client needs, and consider how to adapt methods to different environments—whether theatre, education, corporate, or beyond. While the focus will remain on practical tools and strategies that participants can implement immediately, the session will also offer broader resources and frameworks to support continued development in this evolving field of voice practice.

Acting Emotion: Perspectives from the Masters
Louisa Morgan
Stanislavski said, “our artistic emotions are, at first, as shy as wild animals and they hide in the depths of our souls.” Michael Chekhov said, our bodies should be like a “sensitive membrane, a kind of receiver and conveyor of the subtlest images, feelings, emotions and will impulses.” And Meisner said we should be “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Join Louisa Morgan in this 2-part course as she explores a range of well-known acting practitioners to investigate what they believed (or believe) about emotion and how they approached it in their work. She'll compare their work to see where they align and where they diverge.

Living truthfully in the present moment: An introduction to the Meisner Technique!

Sanford Meisner believed that acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Rooted in behavioural aspects of acting practice, the Meisner Technique is often associated with encouraging actors to live truthfully in the present moment. Aimed at those working within the field of acting, this 2-hour session with Abigail Sugden will focus on the work of Sanford Meisner, introducing the core principles of his technique and discussing the possible benefits to performers.
