The Voice & Accent Coach

Caroline Hetherington

Caroline has over 20yrs experience in the industry, working first as an actress before becoming a voice & dialect coach; a very good ear and a love of language sparked off a passion for how we use our body, voice and intonation patterns to communicate what we need to say.

Her background in acting informs her understanding of the needs of performers and those who use their voice professionally. Her approach to voice is informed by a broad range of influential practitioners including Cicely Berry, Patsy Rodenburg, Jo Estill, Christina Shewell and Lorna Marshall.
