“I worked with Anne when I went into Oklahoma and found her to be personable and wonderful at her job. Finding a new accent can be challenging when there are so many other things to think about but Anne made it easy and relaxed and was always on hand to ask for guidance. My Aunt Eller started to find her feet after my sessions with Miss Whitaker”

 “Anne was an absolute delight to work with. The session was fun, playful, professional and incredibly useful. The movement and vocal exercises boosted our confidence as a group, and her feedback on the script presentation really helped us to bring the show to the next level. The result was a hugely successful run, which has put us in a great position for the autumn tour.”

 “Anne is a brilliant vocal coach and the work that we did was extremely useful. I really enjoyed how enthusiastic and capable she was in getting the best performance out of each cast member. We explored multiple different warm up and performance exercises that served to really enhance our show. It was a real joy to work with such a professional and capable session leader, who still kept the session engaging and applicable.”

 “As a musician in Prohibition-era jazz band The Easy Rollers, I received coaching from Anne in preparation for the band’s residency at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2023. We were about to perform a cabaret-style show consisting of music and semi-theatrical sketches with dialogue and narration. The band members are not trained actors or orators, our individual specialisms being in jazz/classical performance. Accordingly, delivering this kind of performance presents the band members with challenges we are not all so accustomed to facing in the majority of our diverse musical work. Anne’s coaching was of immeasurable benefit to us in readying us to take to the stage with the level of energy, interplay and stage awareness this type of cabaret show demands of us as performers. Anne expertly encouraged us all to step out of our comfort zones by leading us in a range of vocal and full-body warmups, in which she is highly versed as a professional coach with her working background in prestigious company and settings such as the West End. Our session with Anne palpably enhanced the quality of our performances throughout our residency, and the experience we gained from it will continue to inform us as a band in our upcoming theatre-show tours of the UK in the months and years ahead.”
