Suzanne studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. While working as a professional actor, she also started to develop her teaching for RADA and her own Youth Theatre company. Suzanne believes that neither neurodiversity or age shouldn’t stop you studying and now has an MA in Directing from Brunel University, and more recently, an MA in Voice Studies from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Suzanne loves teaching voice at LSDA where she can put all her skills to good use nurturing the students’ talents. She is also a Shakespeare Director for RADA and voice coach for the MA and all the short courses there as well as voice production support at LAMDA . Her passion is to help students make the most of the voices and language they’ve been given and to use them effectively to develop a conversation between the writer, the actor and their audience.
