•    Help create and sustain great vocal performances
•    Accents & dialects
•    Vocal transformations
•    Basic techniques for warm-ups

Terry Besson has worked with, amongst many others, Dustin Hoffman, Andy Serkis, Jason Isaacs, Damian Lewis, Cathy Tyson, Heath Ledger, Fiona Shaw and Sheila Hancock. He’s a regular teacher at the Actors’ Centre and there are very few leading UK drama schools he hasn’t taught at.
