An honours graduate of the celebrated Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art (1906-2006), Glen trained in voice and speech under Michael Griffiths, Caryll Ziegler and Stewart Pearce (Head of Voice at Webber and later Master of Voice at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre for Mark Rylance).
After a time as Acting Head of Voice at Webber Douglas, Glen established his own Voice Department at The London Drama School. He works professionally as an actor and voice artist – but when time allows he loves to teach voice and speech training.
In addition to many actors, Glen has coached celebrities, CEOs, newsreaders, presenters, GPs and lawyers. His great passion is accent modification - not, he stresses, the “removal” of a person’s often unique and beautiful native accent, but rather, teaching an additional, neutral and more universal British English accent, which can be adopted whenever required.
Glen is one of only three professional voices selected to record the guide pronunciations for the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, working with its editor Professor J C Wells.
