From Nervous to Natural: Public Speaking and Communication Training

From 84 £ /h

I equip you with the tools to speak confidently and perform at your best under pressure.

I draw on a twenty year career as a professional actor, working with some of the world's most celebrated voice coaches and directors, along with a second career in the extremely time-sensitive pressures of live television broadcasting.

Four years ago, I joined the coaching team at renowned comms specialists, Laughton Scott. This allowed me to fuse my acting craft and corporate experience to help people find their true voices and shine their light onto the world.

"I have learnt so much about how to improve my communication skills with Rainer." James Linley - General Manager Performance Planning GTS Elizabeth Line

"Your warmth, knowledge and expertise in communication will help me immeasurably in the future." Gary Nicholson - Integrated Client Director - Euston Partnership

My coaching uses practical techniques to put you in control of your delivery, so if you need help tweaking a town hall speech, crafting a corporate proposition or beating those best man nerves, I can help.

Specialist topics we can focus on:
Vocal skills
Body language
Breath work.

All sessions are fully interactive and individually tailored.

Audition Technique and coaching for Drama school entry: Drama coach / Self tape help

72 £ /h

If you're new to auditioning it can be a daunting prospect. The first time I auditioned for drama school I was completely unaware of what to expect. I didn't know anyone who had been and didn't get any help with speeches or songs. It was a disaster and I was thrown out after the first round. Two years later, I reapplied fully prepared this time, and won a scholarship on the three year acting course at Mountview Theatre School.

I can help with all aspects of the acting audition process:
Vocal/physical warm up
Managing nerves
Making sure your speeches suit you
Working on the text: Understanding - intention - intrepretation - and working towards the required standard for success
What to expect at your audition
Recreating a pressure environment; The dreaded panel, the waiting and staying calm under pressure

I have over twenty years experience as a professional actor, and auditioned hundreds of times across all formats.
I have appeared extensively in the West End and toured across the world, as well as being in over 40 TV commercials.
As a tutor/director I have worked at Arts Ed, Mountview, Ravenscourt Theatre School.

'Rainer was instrumental in helping me win a place at LAMDA.' Daisy Redgate - LAMDA student.
Thea got into ArtsEd! Thanks so much Rainer for all your patience and hard work!' Parents of ArtsEd student Thea Bacon.

I'm also here for the pros too.

If you need a sounding board/ line reader for a TV/Film audition
Deciphering Commercials breakdowns to help you stand out
Constructive feedback
Self tape tips,

Give me a shout!

I truly think learning Spanish has to be enjoyable and challenging (positively) and my aim is to create a fun and positive learning environment in which you can really thrive, feel confident and tranquilo.

I like to approach my students to grammar structures and cultural comprehension of the language by a variety of methods and sources such as images, videos, interviews, audios, etc. and adjust exercises of reading, listening and conversation to topics related to their particular interests and personal motivations.

Languages are becoming more and more essential to solidify a good understanding and communication of this world’s constant change. Therefore, Spanish, being one of the most popular language, becomes an important tool. In order to speak it, the class is composed by grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Depending on the time and frequency, the student will be be able to articulate thoughts and write them.
It is vital that the language is spoken, hence, depending on the student’s level, the class will be provided in Spanish and English (swapping when necessary).

STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS:

I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximising the use of the target language.
My lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions.
During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a great variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations.

MY COURSES WILL AIM AT:

– Improving your listening and conversation skills
– Explaining grammar rules
– Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods
– Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills

LANGUAGE:

I have learnt English, Spanish and I am currently learning Italian and Russian, so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across, especially when that language isn't using the same alphabet as your mother tongue.

EXPERIENCE:

I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, business owners, writers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and movie producers...

I am looking forward to hearing from you :)

Acting is a variety of opportunities: it's playful, as an actor you can work in different fields, theatre, film, voice-over and radio.
I can help you to grow and be confident to get into the acting school or into work. Furthermore, I can teach you how to be able to work independently on a role.
With children I love to jump into improvisations and see and guide where it goes to create something magnificent.
If you need more confidence in public speaking I am all ears and will help you to gain the confidence.
Moreover, we can work on Radio podcasts as I have over 10 years experience in directing, producing and hosting podcasts.
What ever it is you want to work on, or refresh your knowledge I'll pick you up where you stand.

I remember my English lessons as my favourite ones at school. I cherished all my teachers, who shared their love for this delightful language with their students. Their smiles, their passion, kindness and pacience made them the ideal professionals. Today, I'm a teacher and my wish is to be as great as they were with me and to share the love I feel for English with my future students.
I'm very fortunate to say that I've been teaching for 5 years and I have students from the age of 8 to 70 and with different levels.During this time I've had lots of fun while working and now I look back and see a suitcase full of loving memories.
Welcome!

Real world tasks are powerful such as youtube videos that I created. I believe that they are authentic and you can learn communicative language in real context.
Use of songs are also powerful in speaking in that it always leads repetition in. vocabulary.

3) It calms all forms of unsettlement due to underlying issues which could be ; No funds by the company to pay off worker's salaries.In that case, a leader with public speaking skills glabs the worker's attention by giving them hope pertaining the delayments in salary disbursements.That avoids/prevents panic to the workers.
4) As leaders/Parents who knows how to engage their kids in family affairs tends to build strong bonds
5) It is a driving force that could make one come out of the shell and become a global personnel e.g "Sir Isaac Newton" who was an introvert but ended up coming out of the shell,Martin Luther, Malcolm X, Dr Myles Egbert Munroe, etc

Speak with greater confidence in English—whether you are preparing for an interview, delivering a presentation or taking part in an important business conversation.

I offer personalised, one-to-one sessions for intermediate and advanced English speakers, particularly international professionals, university students and applicants. Together, we will work on expressing your ideas clearly, choosing appropriate language and responding thoughtfully to questions.

Each lesson starts with your goals. We might discuss a topical article, rehearse a job or university interview, practise a presentation, or explore a realistic workplace situation. I will give you specific feedback on your wording, structure and delivery, with practical points to work on between sessions. You are welcome to bring your own presentation, interview questions or discussion topics.

I graduated with a First in Law from Oxford and completed the Bachelor of Civil Law before training as a barrister. I am now a non-practising barrister with substantial experience in banking, business leadership and international consultancy. My approach draws on years of explaining complex ideas, presenting arguments and working with people across cultures.

Lessons normally last 60 minutes and are available online to students worldwide, with in-person sessions also possible in and around London. My aim is to help you communicate with clarity and confidence in situations that matter to you.
