Our Coaches – Tom Plenderleith

Tom Plenderleith

Senior Coach

Having worked with clients of all ages, the importance of communication is never lost on me. It’s a core skill which we are required to use from a young age, but one that many dread! Be that a small presentation, a catch up with friends, or a speech in front of thousands of people – it’s the words, the way we use them, and most importantly… you,  which carry the power. Communication can be fun, and incredibly rewarding, and that’s where I come in.

My passion for communication stems from my love of theatre. From a young age, I have always been fascinated by text and delivery, and in particular the works of William Shakespeare. This adoration inspired me to attend four years of drama school, where I studied professional acting at the wonderful Italia Conti Academy. Since graduation I have worked in Theatre, commercials and film, as well as producing, writing and directing my own work!

With the incredible materials we have here at London Speech Workshop, I am able to guide my clients, of all abilities and crafts towards creating a more confident and authentic self. I have two years experience in accent softening, and have helped clients from all different corners of the world achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you, and playing a part on the next step of your journey. The first step is always doing – and that’s the hardest part!
