An Interactive Masterclass With Hollywood Voice Coach Samara Bay

Samara Bay has helped Penélope Cruz, Gal Gadot, Terry Crews and Rachel McAdams speak confidently in front of thousands. Now she joins us in London to help you.

What does power sound like? Loud? Brash? Masculine? Well, it’s time to change that.

Samara Bay is a top speech and dialect coach who has worked on blockbuster films and shows including Avengers: Endgame, Wonder Woman: 1984, and Black Mirror. In this in-person interactive workshop, she will offer a compelling approach to asserting your power in all arenas of life. And it’s not what you think.

Here’s the truth: if you’re a woman, a person of colour, an immigrant or queer, there’s often dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people should speak. We’re encouraged to chase the standard set by the wealthy white men who’ve historically been in charge – while trying to ‘be authentic’ at the same time! It doesn’t make sense.

Packed with expert tips, easy-to-follow exercises, eye-opening research and anecdotes, Samara’s class is designed to liberate and inspire even the most tentative of public speakers.

Every ticket to this interactive, in-person workshop includes a free copy of Samara’s new book Permission to Speak.

Praise for Samara Bay’s Permission to Speak:

“I love this book – funny, surprising, stirring, and so important! What a beautiful accomplishment and gift to put into the world.” – Rachel McAdams

“No-one knows more about voice than Samara Bay. This is a brilliant user-friendly guide to speaking up. I love it.”- Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room

“This is a warm-hearted and inspiring read for anyone who wants to speak up in a changing world. It’s also infinitely practical and full of golden nuggets of insight you can take away and use immediately. It’s a gem of a book.” – Caroline Goyder, author of Gravitas
