Zoe Zimin Ho
Senior Coach
I am a Senior Coach at LSW – based in London, born and raised in Singapore, and shaped by my time living and working in New York City. I bring a keen technical ear alongside a playful approach, creating a supportive space where clients can discover more about their voice and be thoughtfully challenged.
I am a graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, and hold an MFA in Voice Studies from the Central School of Speech and Drama. My work is research-led, and I serve on the peer review editorial board of the Voice and Speech Review.
As a performer in New York, I developed a deep interest in voice work. I have firsthand experience working on my own accent confidence – I integrated new accent patterns into everyday communication while staying grounded in my own voice in order to succeed in auditions and in the industry.
I was diagnosed with dyspraxia in my 30s, and embrace all neurodiversity. I share the experience many of my clients have – having a rush of exciting, sparking thoughts that can be hard to organise in the moment. That’s why I value structure in my coaching, using clear frameworks to help shape and channel those ideas effectively.

What is your favourite memory as a coach?
When a client shared in our session that for the first time he had found himself excited to speak and contribute in his last work meeting – something he’d normally approach with fear before our sessions. It made me so happy to hear that the work we were doing was translating, for him, into confidence and a joy for communicating.
What was your own biggest communication hurdle?
Learning to organize my racing thoughts while embracing and loving my neurodivergence. Understanding how my brain works and finding ways to communicate clearly – for myself and for my audience – has been a transformative journey.
Who is a speaker or storyteller you deeply admire?
Brennan Lee Mulligan, a compelling storyteller and brilliant improviser.

I completed 10 lessons with Zoe and couldn’t be happier with the results. She quickly identified both my weaknesses and strengths, then tailored each session around them. From the very start, she created a comfortable, non-judgmental space where I could be myself and get the most out of every lesson. She also knew exactly when to push me, which showed that my progress was her real priority.
I now have the tools and confidence to tackle communication challenges I never thought I could handle before. Thank you LSW, and thank you Zoe.
