Celia Andrews L L A M

Children:

Celia Andrews teaches Speech and Drama to children aged 7-18. Classes can be taught in small groups (up to 6 per class) according to age or on a one-to-one basis. The focus is on developing the individual through the use of drama, such as short improvisations and working on scripted scenes together in an informal setting, and through developing a strong and clear voice that can propel them through life. Whether your child has a diagnosed speech impediment, or simply struggles to make themselves understood, Celia can help them develop their vocal technique through a focus on articulation, projection, intonation, pitch, pace, and pause, which can assist them in a theatrical setting and in wider life.

In addition, children are able to take LAMDA examinations annually (last year our pass rate was 100%, with 77% achieving distinction, and 23% achieving merit) in either Verse and Prose, Spoken English, Public Speaking, Reading for Performance, Acting, Mime, or Devised Performance. These exams uses what the child learns throughout the year whilst giving them a qualification which can enhance University applications.

Adults:

Classes are available to adults on a one-to-one basis and are tailored to the individual. Celia provides vocal training, from establishing correct breathing and vocal techniques, which can be tailored to aid a diagnosed speech impediment, or help improve a recognised difficulty with speaking, such as having a shaky voice. She is also capable of providing accent reduction services when requested.

In addition, she provides help with public speaking, interview technique, acting, and audition coaching.
