Your session will be bespoke and individual, tailored to meet your specific needs, issues and requirements. Perhaps you need urgent help for a self-tape that needs an accent, you may want to work on a drama school entry speech, build confidence and vocal strength for a presentation, explore text and character analysis. Or, you may want to embark on an exploration of your vocal range, personal confidence, and develop an ease with discovering the power that you undoubtedly have. I can help, and I’m looking forward to working together. ‘The way we sound tells the story of who we are’ is my lodestar, let’s work together on your, or your character’s story.

I often work with Jo, preparing for professional performances and auditions. Recently, she helped me refine long monologues meant to be done in German and Italian accents. Jo is such fun to work with, and has a brilliant way of summing up what we've covered, so that you can hang onto what you learn and keep improving between the sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone needing to work on any element of speech or performance skills - Jo is the best!
I have been using Jo as my dialect coach for over a year. She is unquestionably the best voice coach I have ever had.
A few years ago I attempted to learn a French accent for a film and had several sessions over several weeks with a voice coach, but got nowhere. After one hour with Jo, I had cracked it. She was able to find a 'way in' to the accent that others had not managed.
Jo's many years of working as an actress herself give her an extra edge as a voice coach, as she is able to understand the scene the way an actor does, and often ends up giving me tips on characterisation as well.
She is also always available last minute to do sessions over zoom which is incredibly helpful, as I often receive audition requests with as little as 48 hours notice. Yet Jo is always on hand and always manages to fit me in!
I recommend Jo wholeheartedly, she is my secret weapon for auditions!
Actress Ayvianna SnowJo Is a fantastic dialect coach who has helped me secure numerous film, television and theatre roles. I am currently playing James Baldwin in Best of Enemies in London's West End. James Baldwin has a very unique voice, and Jo's skill and patience guided me to it. Thank you Jo!
I am a professional actor and Jo is my go to dialect coach for any auditions where I need accent help and also any professional work I’m doing where I need extra help with an accent. She has even guided me online, whilst in my trailer, before I’m about to go on set. We met thirteen years when Jo coached me on an accent for a play alongside Celia Imrie and Paul O’Grady. Jo was the company dialect coach, Since then, Jo’s amazing coaching has helped me land Jobs in film, TV and theatre. In 2020 jo coached me on an audition landing me a gig alongside Colin Farrell, Jack O’Connell and Tom Courtenay. I wouldn’t see anyone else. Also, her being a professional actress means she brings an extra eye to your accent or dialect work. She’s truly amazing. I wouldn’t use anyone else. Perfect for beginner’s and professionals.
