As a voice and public speaking coach, I believe your voice is your most powerful tool—whether you’re speaking or singing. The key difference lies not in the voice itself but in how we shape it. This understanding led me to an early revelation: the techniques I used to help singers could be seamlessly applied to enhance speaking skills.

Over the past decade, I’ve helped individuals from all walks of life—ranging from first-time public speakers to X Factor auditionees—develop their voices and achieve their goals. From improving vocal range and projection to overcoming performance anxiety, I’ve found the journey transformative and the results empowering.

Today, I specialise in helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence. Through my Cannon Method, I focus on three essential pillars:

- *Voice*: Master vocal techniques like projection, articulation, and resonance, ensuring your words carry authority.

- *Confidence*: Build unshakeable self-assurance with proven strategies to overcome anxiety and stay focused under pressure.

- *Presence*: Command the room with engaging non-verbal communication—eye contact, posture, and energy that captivates your audience.

Before coaching, I spent my career as a singer and saxophonist, performing alongside icons like Sir Tom Jones and Roger Taylor from Queen. Those years taught me the art of sustaining audience engagement through passion, precision, and vocal reliability.

Now, I use those same principles to help you optimise your vocal performance. Whether you’re leading high-stakes meetings, delivering compelling presentations, or striving to communicate more confidently, I’ll guide you to develop a strong, impactful voice that amplifies your message.
