Acting, Performance, Voice, Presentation & Elocution Coaching
For most of us there’s something that gets in the way of what we want to achieve or how we want to feel – in our chosen creative or business career, or just in life generally. That might be pain, illness, injury or other physical limitation, habit, low confidence, stress and mental health issues, or just the lack of the right method or skills.
With over 30 years experience as an actor, director, teacher and coach, I have developed my own way of very successfully working with these limitations and helping a wide range of people from all over the world.
I am now based in Bath in North Somerset and offer you my unique experience at my private practice in Bath, or online.
Acting Coaching
From beginners to working professionals, preparing for auditions or drama school, working on a particular piece or style, improve confidence and technique and find your own uniqueness to bring to the part.
Public Speaking, Presentation, Voice & Confidence
Develop your confidence, find your voice and improve the way you speak, stand and connect with others to make a better personal impact.
Speech & Elocution
Improving vocal clarity, strength and expression, overcoming stammers and speech difficulties, accent modification, pronunciation and articulation and increasing vocal confidence.
Expect a lot of discovery, some lightbulb moments, some laughs and the occasional ‘kick up the backside’ to get going with your life!

One of my greatest joys is helping people find that connection within themselves, and with others, that enables them to reach their true potential and better move towards their goals – whether that be managing physical or mental pain, landing an acting role or place at drama school, giving a public presentation or leading a team in business, overcoming shyness or a speech difficulty. There are so many ways that working with how you use your voice and body can be so transformative.
I very much look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
It’s all in the Experience!
Preparing to audition for drama school, Quintin has a huge understanding, is very focused and practical and really helped me get to the heart of the pieces and make that all important connection.
Sam Benthall
Student Actor
Success in my working life has always been tinged with a dread of public speaking that I could no longer avoid. I feel very lucky to have been recommended working with Quintin, he has worked with me very practically to strengthen my voice, engage with what I am delivering and better connect with my audience. My colleagues in the office have noticed a difference as well.

I have learned such a lot about my habits of speech and movement and my confidence has improved immeasurably. Quintin has a genuine love of working with people and a very engaging manner!
