About me

Hello, I’m Dean.

After training as an actor at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) I formed a successful theatre company.

This led to me teaching at some of the world’s most prestigious drama schools and universities.

I soon realised that my performance training techniques could effectively improve the confidence, public speaking ability, and presentation skills of non-performers.

Since then, I’ve taught public speaking at London’s BPP Law school, King’s College (UCL) and internationally, supporting organisations and individuals to find their communication potential and achieve new levels of impact and connection.

My approach

Holistic

I begin with breathing and posture to release tension, allowing you to express yourself with freedom, clarity and purpose.

Mindful

I utilise grounding imaginative and meditative exercises to help you focus, clear mental obstacles and reconnect mind and body.

Intuitive

I adapt to your needs with individualised coaching, providing you with effective tools for personal and professional application.

Accumulative

I structure sessions strategically, gently building up exercises to ensure continuing progress and to maximise long term impact.

Authentic

I don’t rely on accent correction or old fashioned elocution techniques that create robotic speakers. Precision and clarity can be found without sacrificing your unique personal qualities.

Success stories

  • “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! 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!”

    Elisa - Bride

  • “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. ”

    Rupert - Company director

  • “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.”

    Karl - Financial advisor

  • “I wanted more gravitas and to be 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. 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.”

    Chandy - IT Executive

  • “From the amount of people congratulating me afterwards I must have done an amazing speech, nerve racking, but I did it, held the room, had many positive comments from everyone. I cannot thank you enough, due to your training we smashed it, they all told me virtually everyone was crying, it was very emotional. Thanks again Dean, you’re a star.”

    John - Father of the Bride
