Find Your Voice.
Own the Room.
Speech and drama classes for beginners through to intermediate — private and group sessions covering vocal technique, body language, communication, dialect, public speaking and acting. No experience needed.
Skills That Stay With You for Life
Speech and drama training does far more than prepare you for the stage. The skills developed in class carry directly into your career, your relationships, and your everyday confidence.
Walk into any room — a boardroom, a stage, or a social setting — and feel genuinely at ease. Learn to command attention without forcing it.
Develop a voice that is clear, resonant and expressive. Training covers projection, tone, pace and breathing — for speaking as much as performing.
Speak clearly and persuasively in front of any audience. Whether it's a presentation, a wedding speech or a job interview, leave doubt at the door.
Learn how posture, gesture and movement shape the way others perceive you — and how to use your physicality to communicate with intention and authority.
Express yourself with clarity and conviction in professional and personal contexts. Active listening, articulation and emotional intelligence — all developed in class.
Broaden your range with accent and dialect training — valuable for actors, professionals working across cultures, and anyone wanting greater clarity of speech.
Present the best version of yourself under pressure. Learn how to answer with confidence, manage nerves, and leave a lasting impression.
From script reading and character work to improvisation and performance — acting training builds empathy, imagination and expressive range.
For those pursuing drama school or professional performance — structured coaching in monologue work, cold reading and audition technique.
Welcome Back
Perry Studio has welcomed students back through every stage of life. Whether you studied here as a child, stepped away for years, or are picking up where you left off last term — you are always welcome to return.
Returning students often find their foundation comes back quickly. Fiona works with you to assess where you are now and build from there — no need to start from scratch, and no judgment about the gap in between.
"It doesn't matter how long you've been away. What matters is that you're here now."
An Individually Tailored Programme
No two students are the same. Some arrive wanting to overcome a fear of public speaking. Others are pursuing professional performance, refining an accent, or simply looking to express themselves with greater ease and confidence.
Private sessions with Fiona are built entirely around you — your goals, your pace, and where you are right now. There is no fixed syllabus, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just focused, expert coaching that moves at the speed you need.
