About

I'm Hannah Douglas, actress and founder of LoudHer.

I help people who have lost their voice somewhere along the way speak with confidence and calm under pressure.

Actress & Founder, LoudHer Voice Coaching

Whether you’re pitching a big idea, leading a team, or stepping back into work after a break, your voice matters. But even the smartest, most capable people sometimes feel unheard, nervous or unsure how to “own the room.” You’ve got the brains, the ideas and the ambition, but when it comes time to speak, something feels… off.

I get it. I’m a trained actress with years of experience standing on stage and in front of a camera. I can deliver a Shakespeare monologue word-perfect… but I’ve also lost my train of thought multiple times a day and forgotten the word for “oven” (thank you, motherhood). I’ve often wondered how I’m supposed to be a “boss woman” when my brain is juggling a thousand things and my words won’t come out?

Well. What I do have is a toolkit that helps me use my voice and command a room, even on days when my confidence wobbles. And I want to share it.

The truth is, most of us are born with perfect voices. Then life happens! Pressure, trauma, the stories we’ve been handed, parenthood - or the road that led somewhere different… work. Bit by bit, we hold ourselves smaller, we tighten up, we stop letting the breath drop low. LoudHer Voice Coaching is a safe, supportive space to bring your voice back to where it belongs.

In these sessions or workshops, you can develop practical voice skills alongside body language and presence techniques that truly make a difference. Whether you’re a parent returning to work, a professional wanting to speak up more in meetings, or someone who simply wants their voice to land - you’re welcome here.

I help people reconnect with their natural voice and speak with ease, presence and genuine confidence. Not by fixing your voice, but by understanding it.

I believe women’s voices don’t need to be “shouty” or more “masculine” to be heard - they need to be supported and used effectively. I also believe men have a role to play - in using their voices to advocate, to listen and to show up differently. That work matters too. My coaching combines practical, actor-trained techniques in breath, voice and delivery with a warm, supportive approach so you don’t just feel confident, you sound confident. Together, we’ll work on projecting your natural voice (not somebody else’s).

Why the actor training matters

Actors don’t just learn to speak. We learn to breathe, to listen, to inhabit our bodies, to be present under pressure. These are exactly the skills that make someone compelling in a meeting, a pitch or a difficult conversation. And they can be taught.

LoudHer takes a holistic approach, working with breath, body and voice together, because you can’t separate them. Stress lives in the body. Confidence lives in the body too. And that’s where the work happens.
