Acting Intro Courses
Acting Intro courses are designed for anyone who is interested in acting or in becoming a better communicator. Because the skills we need to develop as beginner actors are the same skills, the business world calls these ‘soft skills.’ The Introduction to Acting Course is valuable training for anyone in business, and below are the Top 5 Soft Skills that businesses value.
COMMUNICATION, TEAMWORK (Actors call this the Ensemble), INITIATIVE (on stage, an actor knows anything can go wrong at any time - and often does - it’s their job to fix it - so initiative is imperative), ADAPTABILITY (Improvising), EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (Or empathy - which is what great actors have a vast amount of).
The practice of having spontaneous, truthful reactions is part of the actor’s trade. They are very much part of the skill set practiced in the Acting Intro class. Many of the games are a work out on bringing a greater flow of ideas to you when under pressure. To have success in the games, an actors’ practice builds confidence and greater ease of expression.

Team Building Workshops
Now more than ever it’s important to keep teams engaged and connected to your organisation.
Covid has redefined and changed the way we work and relate to each other, and building meaningful connections is one of the greatest tools you can utilise to retain staff and build a resilient, creative and productive workplace. Juliet’s team building workshops can be tailored to fit your needs and are a wonderful way of building trust and connection between yourself and your colleagues.
“Juliet worked with some of our Corporate Squirrel team to give us more confidence and help us learn more about how to use our voice. It was fun, a little crazy (in a good way), took us truly out of our comfort zone, and we all came away with a new perspective and some practical tools.” – John Bolton (JB), Founder – Squirrel Mortgage - 2023
“Juliet has a wealth of knowledge, experience and is an invaluable coach. The professional development and voice coaching session that Juliet held for our team was individually personalised and beneficial for the group dynamic. Juliet inspires students to push boundaries and foster authenticity when presenting or public speaking, her methods and experience make for a very enjoyable session. I highly recommend Juliet for development sessions for any level of expertise, corporate or creative.”
“Juliet has helped me to prepare the delivery style and technique, the energy and embodiment of the keynote I am delivering to the top 200 world leaders of Alcatel-lucent Nokia, in Paris - But more than that she is expanding my ability as a Thought leader to move far beyond simply stimulating the audience through transferring knowledge and information, to really moving them and ensuring the keynote becomes a visceral and memorable experience. This is being achieved as a direct result of not only her skill set, experience and know how, but her ability to really get what I’m trying to do and identify what is required to bring it to life through, presence, timing, pause, embodiment, voice and breathing.”
“Can your voice portray your integrity?
Is your voice aligned with your body, mind and soul?
Are you hampered by blocks when you release your energy using your voice?
Can you truly connect with your audience?
I learned from Juliet how to release my energy and let go and to be a better public speaker. Her classes are hands-on and fun. Make yourself a priority and enrol in her classes, today.”
“Juliet’s 1:1 voice coaching is incredible. Life and performance changing and enhancing for me in my business as a speaker and a business person. I cannot speak highly enough about how much Juliet cares about her students and their goals in life, performance and business. You rock. Keep bringing your magic to your students Juliet. I love your work.”
