​Skype -Worldwide Online Classes
(Also Facetime & Other Online Platforms with Video-Calls):
​

​​
  • Online Public Speaking Classes for clients worldwide. We can use free online/webcam calling platforms like Skype.
​​
  • ​​Other online platforms with webcams e.g. FaceTime, Google Hangouts, WeChat -good for China-, WhatsApp, ICQ, Viber, Slack, QQ, Google Talk, Facebook, MSN, MySpace, ICQ, Jabber, AIM, Yandex, etc, etc.
​​
  • Skype lessons mean that everyone can take acting classes -no matter where they / you live.
​​
  • Skype lessons are a great option saving travel time and costs.
​
  • Lessons can be fitted into lunch breaks or busy periods! ​​​
​
​​
  • ​​Please note: I will want to work with Skype or FaceTime unless you cannot access it in your country.​​
​​
  • Using webcams I can see your body language and evaluate your voice / delivery so as to give you feedback. I can also teach you theory and help you write presentations. 
​
  • Classes can take place using a computer, tablet or even phone.
​​
  • Another option is to set up Skype, etc, on a smart TV –I can then easily view the whole room and observe your body language and use of the space.
​
  • Rates are the same as hourly rates and full day workshop rates.​​​​


​To Use Skype You Need:


  • A computer with a reliable broadband connection.
​
  • A Skype account! It's free. If you haven't got one, sign up here to download and set up skype www.skype.com 

  • A Skype compatible webcam and microphone. Please check -they will probably be part of your computer set up already.​
​​
  • Please check that your Skype works well before the class -problems can be caused by slow broadband speeds, and faulty microphones and webcams.


​Planning a Skype Lesson:


  • We arrange a time and date, log in to Skype, connect and meet one to one. If you are out of my time zone (usually London, sometimes Dubai) we'll plan a connection,

  • If you are in another time zone and unsure of time differences please use this link to plan a time to call or Skype me (if Skyping please set up an appointment via email or a call). The best times to reach me are between 10am-7pm (though I also work some evenings so up to 10pm).
  • Here is a tool to work out the time difference and best times to meet:

​Skype Lessons -T & C's:


These are here to protect either of us from any potential misunderstandings. Obviously there is room for flexibility providing changes are agreed upon ahead of time.​​
​
  • If there are any serious issues with the internet, and it is not possible to do the class, then your class will be re-scheduled for another time or day.

  • Payment must be received (e.g. via PayPal) 24 hours before the session.

  • If payment is not received the session will be cancelled.
  • If you are late logging in to your session, it will still finish at the agreed time - extra time will not be added. If the trainer is late (never happens) then time would of course be added.

  • Likewise you will need to have checked that your Skype works before the class so we don't waste time finding out your microphone is incompatible or internet is not fast enough, etc -if these have not been checked they will count as part of the lesson time. 
​
  • No refunds will be given if you fail to log in for your session.
