Information About Maggie:

Personal Description:

Maggie Hall worked for many years in admin and PA roles in both the private and public sectors before retraining as a Teacher of Speech and Drama and being awarded the Licentiate Teacher's Diploma of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, with Distinction.

She now works in private practice, teaching all aspects of speech, drama and communication skills, including presentation skills, public speaking, interview skills and voice coaching (including specialist voice awareness training for professional voice users such as teachers, lecturers and broadcast journalists), as well as the speaking of verse and prose and acting skills, including mime and improvisation.

Teaching Experience:

She has run several successful short Adult Education courses in both acting and public speaking and has taught Voice to adult drama students at the Academy of Creative Training in Brighton. She also runs audition coaching workshops and undertakes audition coaching sessions for individuals on a private consultation basis. Many of her students enter for the graded LAMDA examinations or the RADA Shakespeare Certificates and for the Speech and Drama section of the Worthing Music Festival. Maggie is a member of the Brighton and Hove Speakers' Club and has gained the Toastmasters International "Competent Toastmaster" award for public speaking and the "Competent Leader" Award.

Group Workshops (maximum number 20) in any of the above subjects can be arranged for business, clubs, societies, schools and other organisations. A schedule of fees is available on application. Some organisations which have used her services include:

Maggie Hall is a member of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama, The Association of LAMDA Teachers, the British Voice Association and Voice Care Network UK and is a VCNUK approved Voice Tutor. She has enhanced CRB clearance.

Tutoring Approach:

Private lessons take place at my home and may be for Speech and Drama, including coaching for LAMDA or RADA examinations and/or auditions, or for Communication Skills, including Voice/Speech, Public Speaking, etc.

My teaching is quite "hands on", which is why I cannot offer online tutoring. It is very important, especially with Voice, to be able to see and maybe even to touch the student (with the student's/parents permission) to understand how the student is producing his/her voice.

Lessons are structured in terms to correspond with the academic year, with a one week break for half term. The fee is payable at the beginning of each term (10 weeks) or half term (5 weeks) and lessons may be of either one hour or half an hour in duration and structured and paid for in either full terms (10 lessons) or half terms (5 lessons).

Students starting half way through the term will enrol for a half term only but may re-enrol the following term for a full term if desired. Any extra or ad hoc lessons will be charged individually at the normal hourly rate.

Shared lessons for friends or related students are available and will be charged a pro rata fee according to the number of students and length of lesson involved. Further details are available on request.

We have at least two workshops per term in a hired hall for examination students to practise adjusting their performance pieces to the larger space they will encounter at the examination session, which will take place in Haywards Heath. So far I have 100% exam success rate. This is because I never enter a student for an examination unless I am quite confident that he/she is able to pass it.

Qualifications:

• LLAM (Licentiate Teaching Diploma of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art
