For senior professionals and artists who communicate in English at the highest levels — and who know that how they say something is inseparable from what they mean.
Your English is strong.
The question is whether it carries
the full weight of who you are.
In high-stakes moments — a keynote, a board negotiation, a filmed interview — a gap can open between what you think and what you express. You know it when it happens. So does the room.
This is not a question of fluency. It is a question of presence, precision, and the capacity to remain fully yourself in a language that is not your first.
The English Atelier exists for those who want to close that gap — not by learning more English, but by inhabiting it differently.
The methodology draws from disciplines rarely brought together: performance technique, somatic practice, linguistic theory, and communication strategy.
Sessions work at the level of breath, body, voice, and thought simultaneously — because that is where language is actually formed.
This is not coaching in the conventional sense. It is closer to what an actor does before a performance, or a conductor before a score: a rigorous private preparation for the moment when everything must cohere.
Clients describe a shift that is both practical and something harder to name — a feeling that their English has finally caught up with their thinking.
Every engagement begins with a private introductory conversation — to understand your context and determine whether the work is the right fit. There is no standard program. Each engagement is shaped around you.
Sessions are conducted privately online, with selected engagements available in person in Paris.
Fees are available on request and reflect the nature of each engagement.
For a specific moment that demands your best — a speech, a high-visibility interview, a negotiation. Precise, targeted, immediately applicable.
A structured arc of development. Voice, clarity, and presence built progressively — with refinement carried between sessions and applied in real contexts.
The deepest level of work. Transformational in scope, with priority scheduling, ongoing access, and the possibility of in-person intensive work in Paris.
Audrey is American-French, multilingual, and trained in somatic practice, voice work, and the performing arts. She founded The English Atelier from a conviction that the highest-level communication work has not yet been done — that what exists between fluency and true presence remains largely unaddressed.
Her background as an actor has given her a precise understanding of what it takes to hold a room: not technique alone, but a quality of attention, of being fully inhabited in the moment of speaking.
