“Actors’ Tips For Trainers” – for the CIPD Sussex Trainers’ Forum:
A great presentation. Really useful and entertaining!
Cathy Robinson, Assoc CIPD
Wellbeing and Nutrition Trainer
Thanks Philippa for an excellent evening. Good exercises and good to step out a bit using and practising the techniques. It was interactive and some good discussions too. It has helped me to think about how I use my voice in the training room too.

I found your session so interesting, particularly in understanding how breathing related to voice projection, tone and sounding confident. I thought you modelled speaking to a group in an engaging and effortless manner really well…very impressed.

I thought this was a super session – very energetic and memorable. I really liked the discussion about the “Fear”, how it is normal and how to deal with it. … and I will make a real effort to view my so-far unwatched DVD of The King’s Speech.

Just wanted to say thank you for a very inspiring session at the Trainers Forum.
The exercises to help with public speaking and reading aloud to audiences were great together with the tips on preparation before giving a performance of any type.
You made the evening fun but also a great learning experience.

“The Miller’s Tale” – Audio recording:
“… your voice and accent on “The Miller’s Tale” was stunning.”
Professor Brian Bates, author of “The Real Middle Earth”
“Glimpse” – Theatre performance:
Part 1: “Hammond is served well by two three-dimensional, literate and dramatic scripts written by Thomas Everchild and she displays brilliant talent in interpreting them for us. It is spellbinding and entertaining, heart rending and humorous.”
Roderick Graham, The Scotsman
Part 2: “… brings out Hammond’s best – understated and impressively controlled… sense of command in script and acting. Hammond excels … Glimpse is impressive, and well-named; fleeting moments of subtle theatrical insight.”
James Kirkup, The Scotsman
“Fanny Hill” – Theatre performance:
“Actress Philippa Hammond is instantly likeable as the much-sought-after Fanny, and brings an unexpected grace and vulnerability to the character … Afterthought Productions have a scorcher of a show on their hands with this one. It’s sure to be a hit with Fringe audiences. Get your ticket now, because Fanny Hill is going to sell out.”
