Lisa@speakproud.co.uk

In today’s fast-paced world, effective communication is more important than ever. As the founder of Speak Proud, I am passionate about helping individuals find their voices and communicate with confidence. My journey as both a public speaking coach and a voice actor has provided me with unique insights and skills that I bring to my clients every day. These

two roles complement each other and contribute to the mission of Speak Proud.


The Art of Public Speaking


Public speaking is an essential skill that can significantly impact personal and professional success. As a public speaking coach, my goal is to empower individuals to speak with confidence, clarity, and conviction. At Speak Proud, I focus on:


1. Speak Proud Inner Talk: Many people struggle with the fear of public speaking, otherwise known as imposter syndrome. Through personalized coaching and mentoring sessions, I work with my clients on techniques to manage anxiety and build

inner confidence.


2. Speak Proud State of Mind: From mastering body language, to becoming a voice of influence, I cover all aspects of effective communication. This holistic approach ensures that my clients can engage and persuade their audiences.


3. Speak Proud Impact: Real growth comes from practice and constructive feedback. At Speak Proud, I provide a supportive environment where clients can practice theirspeeches and receive valuable insights to improve. The Power of Voice Acting

Voice acting is an art form that requires a unique set of skills to bring characters and narratives to life. My experience as a voice actor has honed my ability to use tone, pace, and inflection to convey emotions and messages effectively. Here’s how voice acting skills enhance public speaking coaching:


1. Vocal Versatility: Voice acting demands versatility in tone and style, which translates well into public speaking. Whether delivering a corporate presentation or a motivational speech, the ability to modulate the voice can significantly impact the

delivery and reception of the message.


2. Storytelling: Great voice actors are also great storytellers. This skill is invaluable in public speaking, where engaging the audience and taking them on a journey is crucial.+


Through Speak Proud, I teach clients how to incorporate storytelling techniques into their speeches.


3. Emotional Connection: Voice acting is all about connecting with the audience emotionally. By bringing this element into public speaking, I help clients create a deeper connection with their listeners, making their messages more impactful.

Bridging the Two Worlds At Speak Proud, the intersection of public speaking and voice acting creates a unique coaching experience. The skills and techniques from both fields complement each other, offering a comprehensive approach to communication. Whether you’re looking to improve


your public speaking skills or need a compelling voice for your next project, Speak Proud is here to help you achieve your goals.

Working as both a public speaking coach and a voice actor allows me to bring a rich, multifaceted perspective to my work. Through Speak Proud, I am dedicated to helping individuals find their voice, fulfil their career visons, and communicate with pride and confidence.

Voicing Financial Clarity: Behind the Booth with abrdn This week, I had the pleasure of voicing an explainer video for abrdn , one of the UK’s leading investment and asset management brands . It was a live directed voiceover session , one of my favourite formats as a professional British voiceover artist based in London . For this project, the brief was clear: deliver engaging, confident narration that could make private credit, a complex financial topic, feel human, accessible and trustworthy. Why Live Directed Voiceover Works The session was remote, but highly interactive, with the creative agency directing in real time . These kinds of sessions are ideal for financial voice over projects , where tone, pacing and credibility are critical. We refined where we needed to, adjusting rhythm, emphasis, and flow. One of the standout lines where my vocal warm-up was put to good use was: “For every deal, we complement more traditional credit analysis with an assessment of ESG fundamentals.” That’s where professional voice over makes the difference — shaping how information lands and how it feels to the listener. 💼 Why Financial Brands Trust Voiceover In the world of finance, every word matters.
