About Veronica
Hello, and nice to meet you. My name is Verônica Sarno.
I am a committed and passionate, award-winning classical acting specialist with over 16 years of experience across the UK, Brazil, and Europe. I specialise in communication coaching, actor development, and creative education.
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 Certification in Education from Canterbury Christ Church University.
I believe that human connection and honest communication are powerful tools for growth — both personally and professionally.
Over the past decade and a half, I have coached and mentored individuals, corporations, and organisations across a wide range of fields, including creatives, journalists, healthcare professionals, lawyers, finance professionals, entrepreneurs, corporate and business professionals.
My background as a performer has deeply shaped the way I work with people. Whether I am supporting actors, students, or professionals, my approach is creative, practical, and human, grounded in genuine connection — both with oneself and with others.
My work focuses on helping people communicate with clarity, groundedness, and honesty — whether on stage, in the workplace, in public-facing roles, or in everyday life.
I am dedicated to cultivating a positive, collaborative, and supportive environment where people can grow. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all methods or quick fixes. I believe in process — in creating a space where individuals feel safe to explore, reflect, and develop in a way that is meaningful to them.
I genuinely love what I do and am committed to helping individuals reconnect with their essence, embrace their uniqueness, and build the confidence to express themselves fully. I support people in developing the awareness, skills, and confidence they need to navigate challenges, flourish in their professional and personal lives, and feel assured in who they are.
METHODOLOGY
I draw on a wide range of techniques, including acting methods, movement and voice work, as well as Laban, the Stanislavski System, Yoga, and the Alexander Technique. These approaches support the connection between mind, body, and voice, helping individuals develop clarity, confidence, and presence from within.
My work includes:
- Acting coaching and mentoring
- Voice and communication coaching
- Public speaking
- Presentation skills
- Personal development
- Interview preparation
Above all, I care about people. I value relationships, connection, and the time, trust, and honesty that each individual brings to the work.

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 (not available at present)
• 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.

Recommendations

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
