London Speech Workshop Reviews 

The learning experience LSW created for me was invaluable. The coaches I worked with were highly engaging. You can tell that they mastered the craft.
My mains goals were to improve the way I communicate for a variety of purposes, and to work on the ways I produce sounds in real-life situations.
I believe that among many things, LSW provided me with tools to move away from perceptions, which are very personal and often misleading, and be more objective and effective.
The support from the office was punctual and very much around my needs and the time available.
Everyone was polite and showed me a "can-do" attitude. They never said they couldn't do something, they always found possible solutions I could choose from.
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my learning journey with LSW.

I had such a fantastic experience with the London Speech Workshop. I worked with Adam over the course of a year. I went from a very average speaker to learning to be an articulate and impactful communicator. Adam has been super easy to work with. He provides a very personalised and supportive coaching experience. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to become a better speaker at work or in their personal life.

Ali Tennant-Price of London Speech Workshop was excellent in helping me improve my voice modulation and emphasis while speaking; and helping me to speak with calmness while maintaining good eye contact and using body language to keep the audience fully engaged.
I had 5 sessions with Ali and was able to deliver a rousing speech at my daughter’s wedding.

I worked with Adam Rhys-Charles on a communication course in H1 2024. I really enjoyed the whole experience. The set up and communication from LSW was really clear to start with and there is a great manual that you receive as part of the program.

Adam was great. A really good balance between challenging and encouraging. Together we worked on a bunch of things to help improve my ability to communicate both individually and to groups.

At the end of the course I feel much more confident and now have a lot of tools and knowledge to use to continue to improve my communication skills going forwards. I am also planning to do another course with LSW due to the great progress made.

Thank you!

Amazing, the way I’ve transformed with Christine has been exceptional feeling much more confident and persuasive when speaking

Taylor-made approach makes all the difference! And working with Sam Ferree was inspiring - I really enjoyed it!

I am delighted to share my positive experience working with Emmy Broomfield as my communication coach. Emmy’s brilliant methods have significantly improved my communication skills and my confidence. She is incredibly easy to deal with, super friendly, and always makes our sessions enjoyable and productive.

Emmy adopts clear and applicable methods, ensuring that I not only understand but can also effectively apply them. Her ability to tailor her teaching style to my needs has been instrumental in my progress. I highly recommend Emmy to anyone seeking a skilled and personable communication coach.

Thank you, Emmy, for your exceptional guidance and support!

If you're in need of speech training, look no further! I recently undertook training at the London Speech Workshop, and I have emerged with more confidence than ever before. The sessions were bespoke and provided me with various tools to improve my spoken communication. As a result, I now have a toolkit that will serve me well in any future presentations. I highly recommend London Speech Workshop to anyone wishing to enhance their spoken communication skills!

From my view, LSW provided a tailored communication and accent softening experience, always listening and ensuring my needs were met.
Originally, my employer sponsored a 10-hour sessions, and I had to switch my coach halfway through the course, which I have never regretted.

Arabella Gibbins is a truly professional, gifted, talented, organised, and inspiring coach who transformed my experience. As a result of our sessions, I learned so much and feel much more confident about my communication. I even asked for more sessions with her. I highly recommend Arabella!

I would also like to thank LSW's client success manager, Mia Papania, who supported all my needs throughout my experience and is very customer-oriented!

Here are several tips for readers of this review:

- Ensure a Clear Structure: Have a clear structure for your journey and lessons, and make sure your learning outcomes are well-defined. Your perfect coach will provide your lessons plan in advance, tailored to your needs.
- Commitment and Practice: This is a two-way commitment that requires consistent practice. Like learning anything new, you need to do your homework to get results.
- Self-Discovery Journey: Listen to and trust your feelings about what works best for you. Have fun!

Overall, I recommend London Speech Workshop and plan to continue working with them, because it is a great self-investment!

Thanks,

My coach, Emmy Broomfield, was incredibly helpful in getting me to read my book in a way that used the many tools available to add interest and variation to my speech. She also gave me invaluable advice on coping with radio interviews.

I came across LSW at a point when I knew I needed help with my communication skills but was not entirely sure whether I needed a coach. I booked a taster session to help me decide and feel very fortunate that Arabella Gibbins was the coach I was allocated. Bella is exceptionally good at determining what you need to work on (which for me proved to be different to what I thought – it can be easy to blame everything on ‘accent’ because it is easier to spot than tone, speed, expression) and will help you get there. She is a rare combination of somebody who has the academic knowledge of how the voice works, an ability to teach that effectively to those who do not, and the emotional intelligence to do so in a compassionate way. In hindsight, you absolutely cannot compare having a coach to the other types of courses I was considering before LSW – communication is the kind of skillset that needs personalised guidance and feedback. And while sessions follow a handbook, exercises can be adapted to your professional context, something I found extremely useful. More than helping me with practical application, the way Bella delivered the 10-session course has made me think differently about what effective communication looks like altogether and I am extremely grateful to her for that. I cannot recommend Arabella Gibbins and the LSW courses highly enough.

Jamie is thoroughly professional and pleasant to work with. He identified some shortfalls in our communication skills and helped us to address them

Wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed working with LSW, and my coach Adam Rhys Charles, who were frankly amazing.

I came to LSW with a strong desire to speak more clearly, and heavily frustrated with my persistently unclear speech patterns. I was totally lost and I had little to no clue how to improve my speaking.

With personalised, caring, and thoughtful 1-2-1 work I have finished my course feeling energised, empowered, and excited for my future. I have not only understood my struggles much more clearly than ever, but have genuine tools at my disposal to support me on my communication journey. The progress I have seen in my myself, through videos etc is really rewarding and I would highly recommend LSW and my Coach Adam to anyone. Thank you, much love. Nat

I had a fantastic coach with London Speech Workshop and through five sessions I significantly improved my public speaking skills and my confidence being on stage and in panels and got some fantastic tools for improving even further!

I've done several sessions on both accent softening but also off the cuff speech with Adam Rhys-Charles, and I can not put into words how immensely helpful the sessions were. Adam is such a dedicated professional, with a fantastic methodology and great personality, making it effortless and funny. Adam tailored each session for what I needed the most at the time, and wasn't afraid of trying new formats. My progress was beyond expectations, and I've received praises both on professional and personal circles. I'd definitely recommend booking a session with Adam.

I had an incredible experience working with Coach Arabella Gibbins. Over the course of my 15 sessions, I became more aware of the nuances in my pronunciation and learnt a variety of tools for effective communication. Bella's thoughtful guidance and precise feedback were invaluable and exactly what I needed. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her to further improve my communication skills.

Thanks to Christine's guidance, I felt more confident and aware of my own communication. Christine personalized her approach to my needs, giving me the chance to go away and practically put what I had learned into practice. I returned to build on and review how my presentations went, from presenting at work to moderating a panel discussion in front of an audience and handling general day-to-day meetings.

This communication course has really helped me in so many ways. It’s given me real practical tools and skills to put into practice which are already building my confidence. Natasha was knowledgeable, encouraging but more importantly just such a warm, lovely person who put me at ease instantly. Highly recommend both Natasha and LSW!

Under the able guidance of Adam Rhys-Charles (my coach), we worked on a mixed programme in Effective Communication Skills and Accent Softening. I availed a package of 15 sessions. You have the flexibility to book the sessions on days/times that suit you (I completed the course in 15–20 weeks, give or take).

It was a journey of self-discovery, unlocking hidden potential and refining communication skills to new heights. What truly set this course apart was its emphasis on practical application. Through interactive exercises and real-world scenarios, I honed my ability to express thoughts with clarity and conviction. Adam’s personalised approach was tailored to my unique needs. He offered simple but effective tools and strategies which were easy to work with and practice at my own pace. Moreover, the constructive feedback provided by Adam fostered an environment of growth and camaraderie which propelled me towards excellence.

In just a short time, the course equipped me with valuable skills that have already made a significant impact on both my personal and professional life. I should point out that, in addition to the coaching, you must put in effort yourself and dedicate personal time to practice and work on exercises to see improvement. If you are willing to do that, I highly recommend London Speech Workshop and especially Adam to anyone looking to enhance their communication abilities.

Adam was a really helpful and clear coach. He seemed to fit the content around my specific needs really well, and made me feel comfortable despite this being quite a scary process. i feel that this has move me significantly towards my goals of communicating more clearly and authentically
