Growing up something of an introvert, I often found many social and professional situations unbearable.

Acting on the stage, sometimes to audiences in the hundreds, provided me with an opportunity to confront my fears. Over time, I developed the tools and techniques that would help me build my confidence, and eventually secure me a place at RADA, the most prestigious acting school in the world.

I now deliver public speaking, confidence, and storytelling training and workshops to a wide range of individuals and institutions.

I combine simple relaxation and mindfulness techniques with gentle performance exercises to help you find a state where you can relax and express yourself with clarity and confidence, enabling you to achieve your maximum potential.

Testimonial from Elise

“Hiring Dean was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. He helped my dad and I write and deliver such brilliant speeches that our guests were truly blown away! Dean has an incredible way with words, and throughout the process he was patient, made me feel very at ease, and really took the time to understand my individual needs. The biggest takeaway, however, was seeing the transformation in my dad’s confidence - something I’m sure will stay with him forever. Dean, I can’t thank you enough!”

Testimonial from Chandy

“I wanted to work on my voice in terms of volume, gravitas and being more expressive both for work and socially. After finding Dean, I found our initial meeting useful and liked his teaching style. From then, I had weekly sessions with Dean for about 3 months. 

Very knowledgeable and quick to adapt techniques to suit me, Dean tailored my sessions and found useful exercises for me. As someone who finds it hard to relax, I particularly enjoyed the different methods Dean uses for relaxation and improving breathing. I was also struggling with remembering texts and he provided me with a variety of ways to improve learning them.  

Lessons with Dean transformed my confidence, vocal variety and ability to get my point across. I would definitely recommend Dean for anyone who wants to work on their delivery and voice.”
