Structured courses in voice, delivery and on-camera presence for people who need to speak clearly and hold attention.
Gezuda started in 2021 in Manchester as a small training room above a shop on Cheetham Hill Road. The founder, a former regional broadcast reporter, had spent years coaching colleagues before an interview or a live segment and kept getting asked the same question: where can someone learn this properly, outside a newsroom? That gap became the starting point for a school built specifically around speaking on camera and in front of an audience.
Five years on, the school works with 17 trainers and coaches covering 14 separate services, from voice control to full mock television interviews. In that time, 425 clients have come through the door for 799 completed sessions and projects. A little over a third of them, 136 people, came back for a second round of coaching once they had a new role, a new programme, or a public event to prepare for.
The mission is straightforward: prepare people to speak clearly and hold their ground in front of a camera or a live audience, without turning the process into something vague or mysterious. Sessions are built around practice - recorded segments, feedback, repeat takes - rather than theory alone. Clients across Manchester and the surrounding areas book sessions for job interviews, media appearances, conference talks, and internal company presentations.
Requests are usually answered within an hour, and the school covers three districts around the city, so most first meetings can happen in person rather than only online.
Direct feedback over vague praise. Practice on camera rather than lectures about theory. Sessions planned around each client's actual event - a job panel, a broadcast slot, a conference stage - rather than a fixed generic course. And plain scheduling: clear pricing, clear session length, no surprise add-ons.
Runs the recorded mock-interview sessions and reviews playback with each client, focusing on pacing, posture and eye contact with the lens.
Works one-to-one on breath control, pace and clarity for clients preparing for live presentations or recorded segments.
Handles booking, session planning and follow-up between the first enquiry and the final rehearsal date.
