About Liam
I trained at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, graduating with a First in Acting in 2017.
I didn’t begin as a “natural speaker”.
Like many people I work with now, my voice would collapse under pressure. I had weak articulation, inconsistent breath support, and little control over delivery when stakes were high.
At drama school, I learned that strong communication is not a personality trait; it’s a physical and cognitive skill.
Through rigorous training in voice, text, improvisation, and performance psychology, my voice became one of my strongest assets.
Since 2019, I’ve coached hundreds of clients through thousands of sessions each year in public speaking, vocal delivery, and high-pressure communication. I’ve also competed at Toastmasters Nationals (2024) and invested extensively in advanced communication and performance training beyond standard coaching frameworks.
Everything I teach is drawn from that combined professional, theatrical, and coaching background and translated into a system usable by non-actors in real-world environments.
Speechsmithy exists to help intelligent, capable people communicate at the level they already think; with clarity, authority, and control.
Specialisms:
- Public speaking & vocal delivery
- Eliminating monotone speech
- Improvisation & thinking on your feet
- Nervous system regulation under pressure
- Body language & presence
- Speaking on camera & in meetings

Many people believe their problem is confidence.
It isn’t.
The real issue is that their voice and body aren’t organised to support the message, especially under pressure.
When this happens:
- The voice flattens
- Breath becomes shallow
- Pace speeds up or stalls
- The mind blanks
- Authority disappears
No amount of “positive thinking” fixes this.
My work focuses on rebuilding the system behind your communication so delivery becomes stable, flexible, and responsive even when you’re nervous.
WHAT WE TRAIN:
This is not presentation coaching.
It’s a structured process that integrates:
Vocal mechanics
Breath, resonance, articulation, and projection so your voice carries without strain.
Prosody & variation
Eliminating monotone delivery by training pitch, rhythm, pause, and emphasis.
Improvisation & responsiveness
Learning to think clearly and speak coherently without scripting or panic.
Nervous system regulation
So pressure sharpens your performance instead of collapsing it.
Text & structure
How to organise thoughts so your listener can follow your thoughts and stay engaged.
Presence & body language
Aligning physical signals with verbal authority.
This is trained through a clear, progressive system tailored to target your priority needs; not random exercises.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE:
A structured Speechsmithy training guide:
A step-by-step system used with professionals, performers, and leaders.
Personal performance audit:
In your first self-tape exercise we identify exactly where your delivery breaks down and why.
Live coaching & drills:
Immediate correction and embodied practice.
Improvisation & scenario work:
Meetings, presentations, interviews, and real-world pressure contexts. Audit interactions you felt tension or disappointment in your performance and workshop them for a better outcome next time.
WhatsApp access:
Ongoing support, voice notes, and feedback between sessions.
Personal training document:
A live Google Doc tracking your progress, priorities, and practice.
A safe, judgement-free space:
To test, fail, refine, and grow without social pressure.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This training is for people who:
- Are intelligent but sound flat, rushed, or unsure when speaking
- Freeze, ramble, or go monotone under pressure
- Want to speak with authority without pretending to be someone else
- Need reliable delivery in meetings, presentations, or leadership roles
- Are tired of “confidence tips” that don’t stick
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FIRST CALL:
The first call is not a sales pitch.
It’s a diagnostic session where we:
- Identify the specific breakdowns in your delivery
- Run at least one live correction
- Map a clear training pathway forward
If it’s a good fit, we’ll discuss working together.
If not, you’ll still leave with clarity.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Liam.
Perfect! Great guy, high energy and very knowledgeable. Uses a very wide range of techniques.
Perfect! Liam is a great listener, a mine of useful information and techniques, looking forward to developing my voice and skillset with him
Perfect! Liam is exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. He understood what I needed without any judgement, which instantly put me at ease. I’d had teachers before who told me my accent was “fine” — and while it is, I was looking for someone with a real “ear for detail”. Liam absolutely has that. His approach is thoughtful, encouraging, and tailored and I can already tell his technique suits me perfectly. I’m genuinely looking forward to continuing our lessons. Highly recommend!
DanielaPerfect! I have found Liam to be an incredible teacher. He is not only knowledgeable and passionate about his teaching, he is also patient, empathetic, motivating, encouraging and practises what he teaches. He has excellent communication skills, is keenly observant and adapts his teaching to my level/needs. His lessons are fascinating, fun and enlightening.
At the ripe old age of nearly 70 (in a few months time), I decided to take elocution lessons. Fyi - I had always hated leaving voicemails and cringe if I hear my voice on record. I really feel for those who had to listen to me. So I feel extremely blessed because discovering Liam is like discovering a heaven sent a voice doctor. He helps me identify the underlying problems I have with speech and works with me to address them. For instance, he has shown me breathing techniques and exercises that address the excessive tension in my neck muscles and vocal cords that occur whenever I speak, as well as address other issues that I have with speech. It's such a bonus because the breathing exercises alone is like practising Qigong. Seriously, who knew that his teaching also improves my overall health. But that's just a start. I'm learning so many things that not only help me with my speech and improve my health but they also broaden my view on learning. It goes to show, it's never too late to learn. And Liam is a great teacher to learn from.Perfect! Liam is an amazing voice coach. He’s really helped me build confidence and develop an understanding of how anxiety affects my voice, and given me strategies to overcome this.
Perfect! Liam is very approachable and is very quick at planning your learning. He utilises the first lesson very efficiently and provides you with a very clear idea on what you can expect to learn in the coming lessons based on your initial needs. I am excited to be working with such an awesome tutor.
Perfect! Perfect! Liam is a very good listener, patient, knowldgeable and engaging.
Perfect! Liam was engaging, patient and knowledgable.
Perfect! Liam is a very good listener, can pick up subtle variations in my accent and speech. Along with that, the resource materials and exercises have been very effective.
Perfect! I had a great first session with Liam. It was informative and Liam did a great job explaining what’s possible in our lessons, outlining the structure and exercises to improve! You feel already that he is the master of what he is teaching. I feel well-prepared to start working on my speech skills.
Perfect! My first lesson with Liam couldn’t have gone any better. He’s very knowledgeable but also patient and quick to put you at ease. He also pays attention so that his guidance and tutorial matches your current level of ability. Looking forward to the next lesson!
Perfect! Liam is highly skilled, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging and very empathic: a real superprof!
Perfect! Liam provided excellent feedback, attentively addressing my communication concerns by reviewing a couple of my recordings. Although our session was scheduled for 30 minutes, it extended by nearly 20 minutes, and Liam kindly continued the conversation. He also shared valuable resources for practice.
Perfect! Liam was super amazing!!! The session was very practical. I was given exercises to practice speaking which were very helpful. Not only that, he recommended resources to use in my spare time. I was also given assignments as well which were great!!! I will definitely book again.
Perfect! Was very happy with the initial first communication lesson Liam provided. Super clear direction and useful directions to improve my communication!
Perfect! Liam was very helpful, he also taught me the importance of tounge placement and jaw movement so that I could be more fluent
Perfect! I have just had my first class with Liam and it was amazing! Liam has listed to my concerns and shared exercises to help with my speech's tone, speed and rhythm. Liam's methodology is great and I look forward to our next session.
Perfect! Liam is a master of his voice. He explains everything very clearly and after the first lesson I could already start putting his advise in practice. Would highly advice working with Liam!
Perfect! Liam’s easy going and informal style makes the classes interesting. He is a great listener and takes genuine interest in his clients. Liam was able to identify my areas for improvement in my first session. I’m very happy I picked Liam and I’m confident that I’ll achieve my objectives very soon. Thanks Liam!
Perfect! I had a trial session with Liam and I found him very knowledgeable and passionate about public speaking which is what I wanted help with. He gave me some exercises to practice with and a lot to think about as well as reframing the way I think about Public Speaking. A really great tutor with a positive style :-)
Perfect! I had an excellent experience working with Liam. He was highly professional and came well-prepared for the first session. From the very start, we focused on identifying solutions to my speech and voice challenges. During our first class, we tried several techniques to address my shortcomings, and Liam helped me identify additional areas where I could improve.
If you're looking for a magical fix without much effort from your side, Liam may not be the coach for you. However, if you're willing to put in the effort and work hard during your sessions and on your own, Liam's experience and expertise are the perfect match for your needs!Perfect! Liam was very helpful, professional and quick in replying to my questions!
Perfect! Liam is patient, friendly and makes me feel at ease when practicing new techniques and pronunciations. He is extremely funny and brings a refreshing attitude towards learning. I would highly recommend Liam to anyone considering improving in this area.
Perfect! The first lesson was something unexpected.
Liam pays attention to detail and comes up with many ideas for improving pronunciation. It gives the correct information on how to get started, without discouraging a person like me who has been trying for years.
I am pleased with the choice.Perfect! Wonderful coaching!
Fun, playful and effective
Liam makes you feel at ease instantly!
Highly recommend LiamPerfect! Very helpful for lessons in public speaking. Friendly, patient and thorough in approach.
Perfect! Amazing, so much insight
Perfect! Having always wanted to take elocution lessons, I decided to bite the bullet and book and introductory lesson with Liam. It did not take long before the two of us clicked. Liam is an ethusiastic and positive person; his energy is inspiring and contagious.
Liam takes care of all the different aspects involved in communicating efficiently; that being said, he listens carefully to the student's needs (e.g. specific sounds that one wants to improve, etc.) and, therefore, his approach is dynamic as well as begin structured. He is always on time and teaches in a quiet room. Due to his fine ear, Liam is capable of spotting sounds that are not correct or ''quite there yet''. His attention to details and encouragement of being self-aware has an impact on a student's everyday life. My awareness to the sounds that I make whilst speaking has improved and, hopefully, so has my voice thanks to Liam!
There is always time for a little joke and the lessons are extremely easy and fun to attend. The energy ''in the classroom'' is relaxed, playful and judgment free; making funny faces or noises is sometimes necessary and it does not feel weird or uncomfortable as Liam does not shy away from doing them with the student.
I strongly suggest having a think about your expectations because nothing massive can change overnight. I also recommend having fun and enjoy the whole process of learning a new skill, and I recommend doing it with Liam's help!Perfect! Liam is superb, he has excellent teaching/coaching skills!
Perfect! I cannot recommend enough Liam – my marvellous elocution tutor! I’ve given him quite a challenge and I thought once he hears my awful Bulgarian accent he would give up tutoring me, but obviously, it didn’t seem to faze him at all. He put his heart into his work and the amazing results came after our second class when I noticed a big difference in the way I started speaking. The people around me noticed it and that only made me more motivated and excited! Very few tutors can achieve that!
Liam is very patient and yet extremely strict in the best sense of the word. He would spot even the minutest errors; would stop me there and amend me, and then he would explain to me and show me how to articulate properly! All this is done in a very delicate manner, so I don’t feel discouraged or offended, and yet the job is done and the lesson is learned.
Since Liam is a very talented actor he would “impersonate” me brilliantly well and this is something which helped me a lot in my journey. This way I could see and hear myself and realise what I was doing wrong. In addition, Liam is the only person who was able to make me do some workouts! Yes, it was all about my voice but now I started doing physical exercises every morning and my whole body has benefited from this!
Liam has a very easy-going personality and I feel comfortable in his presence, even when we are doing warm-up exercises which are not very lady-like nor are they very flattering. Only in front of him I can pull faces, poke my tongue and do the other “silly” (but useful) things. Everything seems easy when Liam is around and this adds up to my motivation and overall results!
And here we are, after a few sessions with Liam I can honestly say that I am a much more confident speaker! I have a lot of work to do, but if it wasn’t for Liam, I wouldn’t be here! I am so happy and grateful to Liam and I wish I would be able to pay him back by making him extremely proud of his student Danni H.Perfect! Highly recommended - Built agenda around my priorities, the session was interactive and had plenty of constructive feedback

I have seen Liam use his wide acting range over varied performances in theatre, radio & on film. His superb talent is matched by terrific hard work in perfecting technique & researching all aspects of his craft. Fellow actors regard Liam as an aspirational role model. I recommend him because he is both a consummate professional actor & a fun approachable tutor.
Very knowledgeable, skillful experienced and professional. This guy has a lot of talent, I have seen him perform in a variety of roles. I have seen him provide mentoring, coaching and support other professionals in there development and career.
I spent three years training with Liam on one of the top acting degree courses in the UK. The skills he took from that course I have seen him put to use to help, train and teach others. Myself included. Liam has personally helped me with audition preparation for professional industry auditions, in which i have successfully got the job. As someone who excelled with vocal technique, accents and movement in his training, he is particularly adept at teaching these techniques to others. This coupled with insightful directors eye and a knack for finding the layers in text, make him the the perfect tutor for any of your acting needs.
Liam woodlands Mooney is an incredibly strong and versatile actor.
I have worked with him on a number of occasions and been impressed with his commitment and work ethic when presented with any role.
He has an interesting and organised actors process, which I has helped him to prepare for his professional roles, as well as an impressive vocal and physical skill base.
His acting work speaks for itself.
He also has great people skills and will be able to explain what is necessary for the student’s improvement.I went to drama school with Liam and I know him to be an incredibly talented actor and a reliable, trustworthy and motivating person. I highly recommend him. His work with text is incredibly detailed and thought-provoking and his grasp of physical theatre is also spectacular.
