Why BTA Training?
Communication is an essential skill: your expertise and intelligence need to be communicated well.
Through BTA Training, we use the craft of theatre training to give your people the tools they need to speak with confidence, command a room, and deliver their message with genuine impact. This isn't presentation polish. It's a fundamental shift in how your team understands and uses their body and voice.
WHY THEATRE TRAINING WORKS FOR BUSINESS:
Actors spend years learning what most professionals are never taught — how to manage nerves, how to use silence, how to stand to command the room, how to breathe to support your voice, how to make eye contact that builds trust, how to make their words land. These are learnable skills. And they are transformative in a professional context.
With over 20 years of experience in theatre education and 15 years delivering corporate training, our sessions don't just teach technique — they give your people self-awareness. They leave knowing their own habits, their own patterns, and exactly what to work on. That self-knowledge is what makes the change stick.
WHAT MAKES OUR TRAINING DIFFERENT:
Workshop are done with a small group, for personalised feedback and support. Ensuring every single person in attendance gets individual attention, the notes they need to make changes, and the space to actually practice and grow. If your team is large, we simply split into smaller groups across a day or two so no one gets lost in the crowd.
This is hands-on, practical training. Your team will learn through real techniques, and leave with tools they can use the very next day.
BESPOKE WORKSHOPS
Not every need fits a standard programme — and we can build something that fits your team perfectly.
We also offer:
Team-building workshops — using theatre exercises to build trust, communication, and cohesion across teams.
Tailored workshops — built around your specific organisational need. Whether that's presentation skills for a particular event, communication training for a new team, or something else entirely — we'll scope it together.
Acting workshops - need a fun team-building exercise, or a wind-down workshop at the end of a busy season? Try an acting class for your boardroom!
The way you communicate is the way you are perceived. Let's make sure your team is being seen at their best!
Corporate Training
Core Skills: Speak with Confidence
The essential public speaking skills every professional needs. We work on vocal modulation, public speaking anxieties, and posture — so you walk into any room ready to be heard.
BEST FOR: Groups that regularly engage in presenting to clients or in meetings.
This is the starting point for even experience speakers who may need to sharpen their tools.
Elevate: Speak with Authority
For those ready to go deeper. We build on your core skills with advanced work on delivery, presence, and your own public speaking image. These techniques can turn a good speaker into a compelling one.
BEST FOR: Senior and/or executive professionals, as preparation for larger audiences, or to build on existing skills.
This is the advanced training and can be booked as a stand-alone for very experienced speakers, or as a follow-up to CORE SKILLS.
1-1 Coaching: Speak with CERTAINTY
You have a specific moment that matters — a conference keynote, an investor pitch, an important presentation, or even a speech for a wedding. This is bespoke, intensive coaching built entirely around you and the outcome you need to achieve.
BEST FOR: Anyone with a specific talk to work on, or with personal goals that can not be met in a group setting.
These are typically hour long sessions tailored to individual needs.
ASSERTIVENESS TRAINING
Does your team communicate effectively, or are you held back by passive-aggressive emails, or team members who won't put themselves forward in meetings and speak up? Being able to distinguish between communications styles and assert yourself positively is an important skill that many people struggle with.
