Amy Beth Hayes 2026
I am a working actress in TV, film and theatre and I coach people to deliver speeches, talks and presentations with phenomenal results.
My credits include BAFTA and EMMY award winning television such as Netflix's Bridgerton, Black Mirror and Mr Selfridge and Olivier Award winning theatre such as Jerusalem in the west end.
If you can hold the attention of your audience they will listen to what you're saying. This is what you'll learn how to do. You'll discover how to hold attention, land your message and take your audience on a compelling journey they remember long after you finish speaking.
My coaching isn't about just learning techniques. You'll be working with someone whose job it is to perform under bright lights, rooms full of strangers and high pressure. I offer a bespoke service which is personal to you and results-driven. I invest fully in your growth and your success is a point of pride for me.
You'll gain practical tools for delivery, voice, presence and performance anxiety as well as a lifelong toolkit to build confidence, connection and clarity. My clients consistently exceed what they believed possible. So will you.
Yes! I've coached CEO’s, lawyers, FTSE 100 company executives, company directors, CTO's, fathers of the bride and people like you. So whether it's a high stakes conference, TED talk, business networking talk, world class conference, speaking in chamber, court, council or wedding speeches- whatever the setting or context I can help. But, don't just believe me, take a look at what my clients have said!
Amy is incredible. She gave me so much confidence and got me to a place I thought I could never reach. The compliments I got were amazing, both in terms of quality and quantity. I am still on Cloud Nine. People could not believe how much I had improved. Amy is inspirational and her skills are exceptional.
I started coaching with Amy with two things in my mind- that the last speech I did went badly and that the speech I was due to give was to over 1000 high profile people. Amy has clearly picked up things in her career that have made her the actor she is and she has mastered how to get these across to her clients. Amy is a phenomenal communicator and this instantly starts rubbing off. She was full of suggestions and creative ideas which really helped the text. But the main gift Amy has given me is an appreciation of how deliberate people who speak well are when they do it, and that these techniques are replicable. Once you know a few simple things, you find that your expression on stage completely changes. The results showed – i smashed the speech and I am utterly convinced that Amy was the missing piece of the jigsaw. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.
Just wanted to say how great Amy has been. Really talented and really helpful. Absolutely magic. I am beginning to look forward to bringing the house down! Amy is inspirational with exceptional skills!
I already had some experience in public speaking, so what I needed was not a standard set of tips, but someone who could really see what would unlock the next level in my delivery. Amy did exactly that. In a very focused and intuitive way, she identified the key things I needed to work on: pace, tonal shifts, energy, body language and how to keep my speech dynamic. Amy saw things that I would never have noticed and is clearly an expert when it comes to words and how to deliver them. There was a big difference in my confidence on stage and the audience was focused and attentive. The feedback was fantastic, thanks Amy.
I was actually a very nervous speaker and was extremely worried before delivering the main speech at an event. Amy really helped to take my nerves away and helped me loosen up my expression. After two sessions, I felt very different about the speech and began to enjoy the preparation. It gives me great pleasure to say that it went great. And I really have Amy to thank. An unreserved recommendation.
Amy’s assistance was invaluable. I am dyslexic and not unreasonably, I have a very well developed fear of public speaking. Amy analysed the reading I was to make at my father's memorial service. She broke the text of the reading into manageable chunks, coached my delivery, helped me project my voice, unlocked and provided me with the sense and rhythm of the text, re-aligned my posture and finally boosted my confidence.As a result of Amy's tutoring, I was able to deliver the reading with a plan, assurance and much reduced nerves.
My coaching combines the discipline of professional performance alongside a warm, tailored and human approach. This isn't about turning you into a performer- it's about making you compelling, confident and someone people want to listen to.
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Wondering how coaching works or if it's right for you? Here are the answers to the questions I hear most from people ready to step into the limelight.
"It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech."
