🌟 Presentation Skills Brighton
Coaching that helps you speak with ease, confidence and real presence
Whether you’re preparing for a business meeting, keynote talk, interview, sermon, wedding speech or creative performance, speaking well isn’t about tricks or performing someone else’s idea of confidence.
It’s about becoming more yourself — clearer, steadier, and better supported by your breathing, posture and thinking.
I’m Alan Mars, and for over 40 years I’ve been helping people communicate with greater ease, authority and enjoyment. My approach blends Alexander Technique, vocal coaching, and practical tools from the performing arts — all adapted for real-world speaking situations.
One of my favourite comments from a recent client:
“Alan is completely different. He’s a coach, speaker, musician and actor — and combines all those qualities in the most phenomenal way. He will get you out of your comfort zone, make you laugh, surprise you and shift your speaking skills to the next level…”
—Thomas Stocker
