About Veronica
Hello, and nice to meet you. My name is Verônica Sarno.
I am an award-winning classical actress 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 and organisations across a wide range of sectors, including corporate and business professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, journalism, finance, healthcare, and legal sectors.
My background as a performer has deeply shaped the way I work with people. My approach is creative, practical, and human, grounded in genuine connection.
I focus on helping people communicate with clarity, groundedness, and confidence — whether on stage, on camera, 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 develop the awareness, skills, and confidence to express themselves fully and authentically in both their professional and personal lives.

The first meeting is relaxed and conversational, held online, free of charge, and lasts around 45 minutes. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore your goals, challenges, and how I can best support you.
You’re very welcome to ask any questions — it’s important that you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about the process from the very beginning.
Following this, I design a personalised plan tailored to your needs. Your journey is unique, and your sessions will reflect that.
METHODOLOGY
My sessions combine a range of techniques, including acting methods, storytelling, movement, and voice work.
These approaches are holistic and practical, helping you develop clarity, confidence, and presence from within — so your communication feels natural, grounded, and effective.
What I offer:
- Presentation skills and structure: learn how to organise your ideas clearly and deliver them with confidence and impact.
- Storytelling techniques: make your communication more engaging, natural, and memorable.
- Public speaking (with acting-based techniques): build confidence, presence, and spontaneity when speaking in front of others.
- Voice and breathing techniques: improve clarity, flow, and projection while feeling calm and grounded.
- Connecting with your audience: develop a natural and truthful connection with your listener.
- Communication in different contexts: adapt your style to different audiences, settings, and situations.
- Body language and non-verbal communication: build a more confident, expressive, and natural presence.
- Interview preparation: feel prepared, confident, and able to express yourself clearly in an interview setting.
- Personal development: if relevant, we can also focus on work–life balance, creating a more sustainable structure for your work, and developing greater self‑awareness, boundaries, and confidence when navigating professional challenges. This can include planning a career change or strengthening how you present and position yourself professionally.
SESSION STRUCTURE
Sessions are typically 60 minutes, with the option to extend depending on your needs.
Based on your objectives, we can agree on a session frequency that fits your timeline. If you are looking for a more developmental approach, I usually recommend weekly sessions. This allows you time to reflect, integrate what we explore, and apply it in real-life situations — returning with new insights and questions so we can continue building your skills in a meaningful and sustainable way.
WHERE THE WORK TAKES PLACE
• Online — ideal for flexibility and international clients
• In person — at your office or in a central London studio (NOT AVAILABLE AT PRESENT)
WORK FORMATS
- PRIVATE COACHING
All sessions are personalised and goal-driven. I introduce techniques that support your objectives, adapting each method to your individual needs and learning process.
My aim is to offer practical tools that support growth, reflection, and independence — not just skills, but a deeper understanding of your own communication patterns. This helps you develop the ability to problem-solve, build confidence, and communicate more effectively.
Throughout the process, I guide, support, and mentor you, helping you develop clarity, confidence, and genuine communication skills.
- WORKSHOPS & MASTERCLASSES
If you or your organisation would like a personalised workshop, I offer training designed to improve communication, presentation skills, and public speaking.
I have worked with organisations across the UK and internationally, supporting teams to communicate more effectively, present with confidence, and develop a stronger professional presence.

Deadly! 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.
Deadly! Good listener and has her methods
Deadly! I love Veronica's energy and her teaching methods. She has really helped me with my public speaking.
Deadly! It has been a first-class experience with Veronica and a great person to learn from. she has a practical and structured approach to make sure that one succeeds there public speaking or communication goals.

Deadly! Veronica is a wonderful teacher, a wonderful person, and an absolute joy to work with.
Her teaching methods are varied and target specific areas for improvement, and I look forward to all the challenges she sets.
Her experience in acting shines through, and as a complete beginner myself she has been patient.
My improvements under Veronica, both with regards to body and voice have been huge, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve going forwards.
I couldn't recommend Veronica more, it has been a pleasure and an honour- Emery is an absolute force! His commitment to the sessions and fast learning skills made him achieve considerable progress in a short period of time. Very inspiring to work with.Veronica's response :

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
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
