She currently trains actors in voice production, text and speech, and was Head of Voice on the Acting Degree Course at Italia Conti Academy for 14 years. She also teaches MA actors at Arts Ed School, and at Fourth Monkey Theatre Company, and is now working with business clientele in central London.
Sarah has also directed shows on the London fringe, as well as classical text projects at Italia Conti. As a creative voice director, Sarah has worked on many shows including Richard III, Macbeth, A Winter’s Tale, Widows, Our Town, Machinal, Phaedra’s Love, Road, and devised work based on stories by Italo Calvino and Angela Carter.
She has continued her own training and undertaken many professional workshops in acting and in voice studies.
