About Veronica
Hello, I’m Verônica Sarno, a committed and passionate personal development coach, acting tutor, and creative practitioner with over thirteen years of teaching experience and sixteen years in the performing arts industry. I hold an MA in Classical Acting (Distinction) from Drama Centre London, a BA in Performing Arts from one of Brazil’s leading conservatoires, and a teaching certificate (CertEd) from Christ Church Canterbury University.
My background as a creative performer has shaped the way I approach personal development and communication coaching: it’s creative, practical, human, and individual. I don’t believe in “one‑size‑fits‑all” methods or magical formulas. Growth comes from collaboration, practice, reflection, and a supportive environment where you feel safe to explore and discover how the techniques I use work best for you. Everyone learns differently, and I respect each student’s pace, personality, and goals.
I draw from a wide range of acting methodologies and voice techniques, as well as embodied practices such as Yoga, Pilates, Laban, and the Alexander Technique. These tools help students connect mind, body, and voice, building confidence from the inside out. Whether we’re working on public speaking, interview preparation, voice training, or personal development, my aim is always the same: to help you communicate with clarity, authenticity, and presence.
Above all, I care about people. I value the time, trust, and vulnerability that students bring into each session, and I’m committed to helping every person grow in a way that feels meaningful, empowering, and uniquely theirs.

Every student begins with a free 45 minute online assessment. This first meeting is relaxed and conversational, it’s our chance to understand each other. I learn about your background, goals, challenges, and what you want to achieve, and from there I design a personalised plan that fits you. Your journey is individual, and your sessions will reflect that. You’re also welcome to ask any questions you may have during this first meeting. It’s important that you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about the process.
Where & How We Work
Sessions are available:
• In person — at your office or in a central London studio
• Online — ideal for flexibility and international students
The choice depends on your lifestyle and comfort.
Private Coaching
All sessions are personalised and goal‑driven. I introduce techniques that support your objectives, but I always adapt each method to your individual needs and learning process. My aim is to offer you practical tools that encourage growth, reflection, and independence — not just skills, but a reflective approach that helps you problem‑solve, understand your own communication patterns, and build confidence in yourself and in your practice. Throughout the process, I guide, support, and mentor you, helping you develop clarity, confidence, and genuine communication skills.
My clients include lawyers, investment professionals, corporate leaders, health practitioners, presenters, journalists, teachers, lecturers, public speakers, voice over artists, vloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, actors, directors, and anyone who uses their voice professionally.
Workshops & Masterclasses
If you or your organisation would like a personalised workshop for your team, I offer training designed to improve communication, presentation skills, and public speaking. I have worked with companies across the UK and internationally, helping teams communicate more effectively, present with confidence, and develop stronger professional presence.

Perfect! Warm and engaging tutor. I have enjoyed my lessons with Veronica. She provides excellent feedback and great structure to the lesson. 10/10 would recommend!
Excellent! Seems like a thoughtful and helpful tutor, I didn't end up going with her in the end. I would like to highlight that the "first lesson" was more just a quick chat to understand your needs, rather than covering any lesson content.

Veronica is my go-to coach/tutor when I have a casting or when I want to refine my craft. She is one of the best tutors who can really show you how to break down a script and really help you see the character. She is so insightful, warm, patient and caring - You really feel like she is there for you. I would recommend her to actors of all levels.
Veronica is the best acting teacher I have ever had, and I have studied at the William Esper Studio and the Atlantic Acting School with some of the most popular teachers in New York City. What makes her stand out is her enthusiasm and her genuine interest in helping her students become better actors. Anytime I mentioned something I was struggling with in a scene, Veronica would have something new for me to try in the very next class! You will not find a teacher more invested in your success. She teaches the Stanislavski method in a way that is easy to understand, and she is not dogmatic in the way that some other teachers are-if a technique is not working for you she will not force you to use it. Taking classes with Veronica has made me feel so much more confident in my acting ability. Acting doesn’t feel like such an unexplainable mystery to me anymore.
I have done a classical acting workshop with Veronica as well as 1:1 coaching sessions and can highly recommend her as a top professional.
Veronica is a wonderful teacher. She has a profound understanding of her subject which she teaches with enthusiasm, wisdom and much joy. I enjoy her classes and have benefitted greatly. Thank you.
Veronica is amazing - always so positive, so attentive and adapts classes to where I’m comfortable. She encourages and celebrate ms when I do well, and has a playful energy that helps me relax and get the best out of my voice
Veronica was great. She gave me great advice and guidance, putting my nerves at ease. As a result, my presentation was much better and I killed it on the day. Would definitely recommend her
Veronica is an amazing teacher that guides an actor preparation for a role in a very holistic way: by facilitating breath and voice technique, working on script analyses, and the delivery of those lines.
I am very wary of acting teachers and their methods but I was pleased to find Veronica to be very thorough, specific and knowledgeable in all aspects of acting methods. Apart from the fact that she has trained in teaching acting, she is also very patient, a great listener and communicator. I recommend her classes, online and in person. She takes into consideration your ideas, opinions and views. She has a vast knowledge and love of theatre. Her exercises are exciting and I always look forward to the next class. Great for before attending drama school, after drama school or if you are curious about acting or theatre in general.
Verônica is an amazing acting teacher! I have worked with her for over two years now, and she is incredibly dedicated to all her students. Verônica has helped me understand the importance of breaking down a scene and script, as well as creating detailed character work. The Scene Study classes are very well though out and I love how they're mix between the much needed analyzing and practical work of breaking down scenes and monologues. Besides the scene work, Verônica has also helped me find and work on my tools as an actor in such a comfortable environment, where it's easy to let yourself be vulnerable and to open your mind. She is great at seeing what each student needs help with and is always there if you need support or have any questions!
Go for it! She explains it in a crystal clear way, making you gain a valuable body, voice and breath awareness, which you can apply on your daily life. It's also important to highlight Veronica's engagement on making you understand each detail of what is explained. I highly recommend.
Veronica is amazing!
I did 10 classes with her, to help me with my breathing problem.
Not only she works with breathing exercises, but as well she goes to the roots of the issue.
Vocal exercises, phonoaudiology exercises with some yoga poses twist, helped me to improve my breathing, and with a better breathing, it improved my lifestyle immensely.
Thank you Veronica!Veronica is one of the GOAT's in london acting teaching!! I started going to her in person scene study classes which helped me maintain my craft whilst also working on pieces I had for auditions which thanks to Veronica I was able to book. Recently I have been attending her weekly online group class which has been absolutely invaluable to keep my skills sharp over the quarantine.
Highly Reccomended!View more recommendations
