About Lottie

A coach who listens

Lottie helps actors discover and fully inhabit the voice of a character.

She holds an MA in Professional Voice Practice from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and is Joint Head of Voice at Mountview. Her work spans everything from audition preparation to dialect coaching across an entire production.
