Bbc Everywhere

I work across BBC radio, local and national, TV and online, helping people in broadcast and non-broadcast roles. People that have been there a long time for a refresher, and new to being on-air. Much of my work currently with the BBC is on the apprenticeship and trainee schemes - both voice and general personal communication coaching. Recent broadcast work includes: - BBC local network radio. Assisting online journos and Producers in becoming on-air people. E.g Witness History, Moneybox, You and Yours, Radio Shropshire - Audio Lab new podcasters. Helping six new podcasters find their ‘voice’ in delivery and writing- Thought for Day contributors (Radio 4) – working alongside script-whizz Chris van Schaik - The Proms – working with range of new to air musicians for a specific new to air Prom- Various BBC Apprenticeship Schemes. Helping them navigate the Corporation and the world of work- ITN social media journalists. Taking them from online writing style to speech - The Lazarus Heist – finding a mutually agreeable style in words and delivery for a Brit and a US journalistI contributed to Mishal Husain's book, The Skills.

I frequently appear on programmes such as the BBC's Radio 4 'Today' programme, Channel 5 News, Front Row and local radio stations to give comments about voice and accent use. This has ranged from comments on the changing vowels of the Queen over the years, the quality of Paddington Bear's animated voice and then Prime Minister, Teresa May’s cough and could she have controlled it better!
