I’d like to and enhance my personal Presence!
Our Solution
We create custom-made programmes for groups and individuals , focusing on people’s strengths, helping them transform and communicate with authenticity and confidence. Here are the four areas we will focus on:
Your Story
The words you speak are the foundation to every speech and will bring your audience with you on a journey.
You
The secret magic ingredient is you! We will focus on your values, life experiences and ambitions to help make your speech stand out and authentic.
Your Voice
Each of us has a unique voice. We help you to speak with authority and confidence. We will help you find you colourful landscape of your voice, by using breathing and voice techniques focusing on pitch, pace and resonance, finding a pause and using emphasis.
Your Body
80% of how we communicate is through body language. The way you walk through the room, how you sit and stand all convey messages to your audience. By applying attention to your posture, gestures and facial expression we will help you communicate openly and effectively.
Our Coaches
Karl Quinn
I will help you build your confidence and make a real impact on how you deliver your message within your business.
My training as an actor at The Samuel Beckett in Trinity College gave me a deep technical and emotional understanding of voice, speech, and language. Alongside my acting work, I forged a career as a writer, role-player, facilitator and work regularly as a freelance continuity announcer with RTE. I have lead and designed workshops for Theatre skills for businesses in the Abbey Theatre.
Creativity is at the core of my work as a communications coach. Helping clients to find their own authentic voice. I would describe my coaching style as playful, hands on and practical. I give clear, precise and challenging directions and am very observant -always working with you so that you can reach your potential. But most importantly, I never judge: I treat every session like rehearsals, creating a fun and safe environment where it is okay to get things wrong.
I look forward to working with you and will help you grow in confidence, knowledge and ability. I work with individuals and groups.
Fiona Browne
I have been working as a voiceover artist for over 20 years and have voiced hundreds of advertising campaigns, narrated TV programmes and am the voice of a well-known financial institution!
I am fascinated by the connection between body, voice and imagination. I believe that in developing our voices that we can find deeper and more fulfilling communication and expression as human beings.
I trained as an actor and continue to work regularly on stage and screen. In 2003, I was introduced to the work of The Roy Hart Theatre (Malerargues, France), and regularly train there in France. My work is very much inspired by this training, and over time I have found my own approach to working with my voice using these tools and techniques which I look forward to sharing with you. I hope to empower you to embody your own true voice and communicate your message with more confidence, authenticity and clarity.
I am delighted to bring my experience and expertise to Discovery Drama, and to be a part of this creative team. I offer sensitive and discreet coaching to individuals and groups.
