Professional Voice Coach | Helping You Find the Voice That’s Already Yours
Helping You Speak With Confidence, Clarity and Impact
I’m Shaun Morton: actor, voice artist, voice coach, and professional chatterbox.
I’m completely obsessed with voices. Not just fascinated or interested; properly, utterly besotted. Voices are my passion, my craft, and yes, my livelihood. They’re the reason I jump out of bed each morning (well, that and coffee).
Hello and welcome to The Working Voice. I am Shaun Morton: actor, voice artist, voice coach and professional chatterbox. I am utterly obsessed with voices, not just fascinated, but completely besotted. Voices are my passion, my craft and my livelihood. They are also the reason I jump out of bed every morning, well that and coffee.

My Voice Coaching Journey
I trained as a professional actor at ArtsEd London and spent over two decades performing across the UK’s most renowned stages. My work has taken me from the West End to touring theatre, from film sets to commercials, and into corporate roleplays, giving me the chance to explore a wide range of styles, genres, and audiences.
Those years taught me everything about the true power of voice: not just the technical mechanics, but the emotional, physical, and creative depths it holds.
Alongside acting, I discovered a passion for voice coaching. I’ve taught at institutions such as ArtsEd, Stagecoach, Reynolds, West End in Schools, The Actors Door Studio, BADA, The Dang, and continue to teach at Urdang Academy, alongside running my private practice, The Working Voice.
These days, I don’t tread the boards all that often, but I work alongside my coaching as a voice actor, combining my love of all things voice with my love of performing. I’ve voiced everything from commercials to e-learning, audiobooks, and games, but the one that gives me the most kudos (at least with my kids) is being the voice of Mr Tickle!
Why I Became a Voice Coach
I’ve always grown up in the performing arts. I’ve been single-minded since I was at least 12 years old. But after I left university and got a dose of the real world, working in a variety of jobs as a struggling actor, I realised what a huge advantage I had been given without even realising.
Through my training on stage, I had learnt how to use my voice, how to use language to achieve goals, how the strength of my voice conveys confidence, how the music of my voice paints pictures, and how tone can make people feel. Watching others struggle without these skills showed me how difficult communication can be.
Nothing makes me happier than when people discover the power of their own voice. Voice work fundamentally changed how I connect with others and with myself. That is why I created The Working Voice, not just as a coaching business but as a space to reconnect with your voice, your breath, your presence and your confidence.
I do not believe in fixing voices. I believe in uncovering what is already there. The clarity, the freedom, the natural ease, even if it has been buried under nerves, old habits or that teacher who told you you were too loud. And making silly voices and playing with accents is great fun.
My Voice Coaching Approach
(No Shouting, No Judging, Just Real Progress)
Professional voice coaching with me is collaborative, relaxed and fun. I believe an accent is living and breathing, and it should be felt in your body, not drilled mechanically.
I combine voice science, performance technique and practical tools that work in real-world situations. Together we will identify what is creating tension, whether physical habits, old patterns or anxiety, and gently release what is not serving you.
I am friendly but forensic, kind but honest. You will leave each session with practical insights, simple techniques to use immediately, and moments that click whether you are aiming to:
- Master clear RP or authentic General American
- Achieve accent reduction while keeping your personality
- Speak with executive presence at work
- Use your voice safely and sustainably
- Simply feel good about how you sound
