Testimonials
As an accomplished actor, author, broadcaster, and coach, Elspeth brought an array of relevant talents to the task of reviewing my TalkWise podcast. More importantly still, she is a careful and generous listener, with great awareness and a profound appreciation of the sounds and significances of voice and the spoken word.
- Alan Robertson, Developer & owner of VoicePrint, Founder & Director of TalkWise Ltd
Elspeth's guidance and insights were instrumental in developing accessible content for young individuals with vision impairment. I wholeheartedly endorse Elspeth for her professionalism mostly in promoting accessibility and empowering marginalized communities.

Ideas are ten a penny, but Elspeth Penny knows how to organise ideas into a learning and enriching frame-work.
- Tony Staveacre, Award-winning tv and radio producer
I became familiar with Elspeth's performance work through having observed her acting as a patient during a selection process for GP training. I was impressed by her authentic portrayal of the case concerned, as well as the flexibility she showed in responding to different interpretations by the trainee doctors, whilst staying within the confines of the brief - not an easy task. It is immediately apparent that Elspeth is a highly reflective practitioner who can adapt her performance skills to a variety of genres and for different audiences and purposes
- Jane Rowe, Senior Fellow HEA, Learning and Teaching Advisor at Exeter University
THANK YOU - for your excellence, professionalism, dedication to detail and for making us always so proud of what we have to offer to such an important process. Feedback from the medical and admin teams was, as ever, full of praise - and admiration
- Sandy Akerman, Exeter University
