Do I need acting experience to work with Owen?

No. The vast majority of Owen's clients have no performance background at all. The techniques Owen uses come from actor training but they are entirely transferable to anyone who needs to communicate more effectively under pressure.

Do sessions work online?

Yes, completely. All sessions are via Zoom. Owen works with clients across the UK and internationally. The online format works well for this kind of coaching because you can record sessions easily and review them between appointments.

I only have one presentation coming up. Is it worth booking?

Yes. Even a single session can make a significant difference to a specific piece. Owen will focus entirely on what you need for that event. Many clients who book for a single session come back for more.

What if my problem is nerves rather than technique?

Nerves and technique are not separate problems. Nerves almost always have a physical component that technique addresses directly. Owen works on the body first, which is often what calms the mind.

How is this different from other public speaking coaching?

Owen is a conservatoire-trained actor with nearly two decades of professional performance experience. He teaches from the body up rather than the slide deck down. The work is physical, specific, and based on real performance training rather than presentation theory.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on where you are starting and what you are preparing for. Some clients work intensively before a specific event. Others build a longer-term practice. Owen will give you an honest view of what he thinks will serve you best after an initial session.
