Sinéad Lunny is Managing Director of Vocalis, a NI-based voice and communication skills training company.

A lawyer for many years, Sinéad draws on her courtroom experience and Speech and Drama skillset to provide unique, fun, top quality training in how to use one’s voice for maximum effect.

Two dramatic life experiences resulted in her decision to change career in 2017. An almost fatal car accident and being wheelchair-bound for 6 months, and watching her son undergo unexpected life-saving heart surgery as a tiny baby.

Sinéad is now an award-winning trainer, actor, voiceover artist, event host and keynote speaker. She was the 2024 winner of the FSB regional award for Top Entrepreneur and runs a 200-strong Speech and Drama school. She is often invited to contribute to radio discussions about voice, words and language, speaking confidence, accent and dialect and career change.

As well as in the corporate world, Sinéad uses her voice to support causes close to her heart such as the A1 Road Safety Campaign, Children's Heartbeat Trust and campaigning to CCEA for more accommodation for students who stammer.

Clients include BT, EOS, Liberty IT, Danske, Almac, Citi, Bank of Ireland, Savills, Queen’s University Belfast, Tughans Solicitors, The Law Society of NI and NHS.

Sinéad partners with several Tech clients, both in group and individual settings, coaching them to "own the room" through effective vocal skills, stage presence, clarity, storytelling and gravitas. Her training is unique, fun, practical and, of course, always evidenced by theory. Once a lawyer, always a lawyer!
