We’re growing – and we’re so excited to introduce you to the newest voices of London Speech Workshop.
At London Speech Workshop, our mission is to help people communicate with clarity, confidence and authenticity – whether in meetings, presentations, or everyday conversations.
Over the past year, demand for our coaching has grown significantly, particularly in high-demand time slots like evenings and weekends.
To meet this growing need and continue providing world-class, personalised coaching, we’re thrilled to welcome four exceptional new coaches to the LSW team.
Each brings a unique blend of experience, warmth, and expertise and shares our belief that effective communication starts with being true to yourself.
Here’s a chance to get to know them a little better…
James Aitken – Voice Coach, Dialect Specialist & Lecturer
With a background in voice studies, dialect coaching, and communication training, James Aitken has spent his career helping people unlock the full potential of their spoken voice.
After earning his BA in English Language and Communication, James taught English as an additional language for several years before completing a Master’s in Voice Studies. His career has spanned teaching voice to actors, coaching professionals, and working as a dialect coach in theatre, film, and television. He’s also a lecturer at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
What sets James apart is his calm, supportive approach and his deep love for those light-bulb moments – when clients realise just how powerful their voice can be. At LSW, James is passionate about helping people speak with clarity, presence, and authenticity – no matter their background or goal.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the power of communication, and now I get to help others unlock it every day at LSW. I love seeing clients discover their voice and grow in confidence.”
