Project Vocal
Unlocking the Power of Effective Communication for the Next Generation
​​At Project Vocal, we empower young people with the skills they need to speak confidently, communicate clearly, and lead with influence. Our tailored public speaking and communication workshops are designed to help students build essential skills for academic success, personal growth, and future career opportunities. With the guidance of professional actors, students will practice performance techniques to build skills that last a lifetime.
OUR MISSION
We believe that the ability to speak with confidence and clarity is a vital life skill – one that opens doors to a brighter future. Through engaging, hands-on workshops, we guide students in developing their voices, teaching them how to express themselves effectively, overcome fear, and engage with audiences of all kinds.
At Project Vocal, we bring the power of performance to public speaking. By incorporating acting exercises and techniques, we allow young people to experience communication in a creative and dynamic way – building not just their voice, but their confidence and self-expression.​​
Whether preparing for exams, presentations, interviews, or simply enhancing their self-confidence, our workshops provide the tools and techniques to succeed.
Why Choose
Project Vocal?
Led by Professional Actors
Our facilitators are not just expert coaches – they are professional actors who bring their extensive stage experience to each workshop. Their knowledge of performance and storytelling helps students engage with communication in an entirely new way
We use proven acting exercises – such as voice work, body language, improvisation, and storytelling – to help students strengthen their communication skills. These techniques help students break free from nervousness and speak with authenticity and authority.

RUTH
Ruth has spent her whole life on stage and in front of the camera, starting in the performing business when she was just 13 years old. She has been lucky enough to travel the world as an actor and is often spotted on the telly.
With a deep love for people and communication, Ruth has combined her performance background with a new passion: communication coaching. She now uses her experience and expertise to empower individuals from all walks of life to become confident and comfortable speaking in front of others.
She regularly coaches in the corporate world, coaching everyone from interns to CEO’s, alongside her work facilitating project vocal workshops to young people.
Ruth truly believes that communication is one of the most important skills to live a successful life, and in a world where we are more connected than ever but communicating verbally less and less, it’s a skill we need to practice and develop.
Her warm, positive energy and passion for helping others thrive make her an engaging and inspiring teacher.
