1:1  COACHING

 

At The Acting Lab we offer a thoughtfully designed 6-session experiential training programme which uses professional skills from the acting world to help clients from any field speak with impact. 
 

It’s very common to feel nervous about public speaking, especially if it’s something you haven’t done before. At The Acting Lab we offer one-to-one Coaching in Speaking With Confidence, in which you’ll learn proven strategies and techniques to maximise your performance and boost your communication skills when speaking to others in groups of any size, as well as in one-to-one conversations.
 

Did you know that actors are some of the best communicators in the world? An acting coach like The Acting Lab’s Elaine Newton can help you improve your voice, presence, body language and mindset to become more impactful, influential and charismatic in your professional and personal life. Public speaking coaching can help enhance your confidence and delivery in any situation, from job interviews to making presentations or videos and beyond. 

Coaching can take place in person near Dundee, or anywhere in the world via Zoom.

TESTIMONIALS
 

Here are what some previous clients have said about coaching from Elaine Newton at The Acting Lab:
 

“It helped me to actually enjoy the whole experience of Dragon's Den and focus on my performance instead of being nervous and anxious, I felt in control…. Elaine taught me many valuable techniques and tactics so I felt completely and utterly prepared. I can't recommend Elaine's coaching enough and had refresher sessions when preparing for my trip to pitch for investment in Silicon Valley. It gives a whole new perspective on presenting and connecting with the audience. Now I feel like I know how to perform, and how to use my voice and my tone, body language and my eye contact to actually create a performance and not just a presentation or speech. I would recommend Elaine and the Acting Lab to everyone to add pzazz to their business performance.”

 “Elaine's personalised sessions are designed to equip you with the essential skills for confident public speaking. Through her expert guidance, I have learned how to be more influential and connect authentically with my audience… If you are looking to enhance your communication skills, build your confidence, or learn how to connect with others on a deeper level, I cannot recommend The Acting Lab enough… If you think you can learn this through online courses or YouTube, then think again”
- Jude Hughes, via Google Reviews
 

“Before working with Elaine, I had real challenges with vocal expression. My voice was generally monotone and lacking in energy. I was doing a PGCE and the feedback was that I needed to do something about my voice to make it more engaging for students… I was thrilled when my school mentor and other teachers commented that they had seen improvements in my voice. This meant so much to me as I did not believe I could really improve at all! I highly recommend Elaine for one to one coaching. People have commented that my eye contact, presence and power have all improved. It has been life-changing.”
- Brendan Brosnan via LinkedIn
 

“Elaine was a great support to me with one-to-one coaching ahead of an important business presentation. She took time to review my entire script and give advice on where it could have more impact. She also gave me lots of practical tips to improve the delivery of my talk ranging from dealing with nerves to projecting my voice clearly. Elaine's kind and engaging manner really put me at ease and gave me the encouragement I needed to present well when it mattered. I have since put these skills into practice in other public speaking engagements. “
- Wendy Maltman via LinkedIn
 

“I initially went to practise for public speaking so I could do videos and talks for my business but it ticked so many other boxes at the same time. When I left all my anxieties had gone completely. I felt so present with the most beautiful energy and I managed to do my first ever video with none of my bad habits”
- Laura Collins, via Google Reviews
