This event will be co-facilitated by Shaun Morton. Shaun is an actor, voice artist, and voice coach. Originally from Australia, he has been based in the UK for over 20 years. As an actor, he has performed both internationally and in London's West End, and as a foreigner, he quickly became aware of how accents shape the way people perceive you.
This interest led him to train as a voice coach, and for nearly nine years he has been teaching voice at Urdang, alongside running his own company, The Working Voice, which helps individuals develop their skills in accents and communication.
In addition to his coaching, Shaun works as a voice artist, and his voice can be heard across commercials, video games, and corporate content for clients including Rocksteady, Jaguar, Fosters, and Sainsbury's.
