Unmuted™
Transformational Speaking
The story within you
holds the power.
It's time to say it out loud.
Unmuted™ is a Transformational Speaking program and live event, designed to uncover the story that lies within you, shape it into a powerful five-minute talk, and deliver it live to a curated audience.
Currently activating in Somerset & London
The Process
This isn't public speaking.
It's a homecoming to your voice — and the story that's been waiting to be told.
Unmuted™ is for people who know there is a story in them, and are ready to unlock it. It might come from a quiet turning point, a pivot in life through a relationship, a loss, a risk, or an awakening. Or an ordinary moment or choice that happens in the everyday — the kind that changes the trajectory and shape of a life.
You do not need an epic tale. The story that is already alive within you is the one we unravel and uncover together, and shape into a powerful five-minute talk — clear, alive, and fully your own.
"If you want to change the world, tell a better story."
The Five Pillars
→Nervous System Regulation+
Practices rooted in understanding how to regulate your system in the intensity of the moment — through somatic, breath, and concentration processes that we deepen over time, so you can stay present, grounded, and responsive when the stakes are high.
→Vocal Resonance+
Vocal exercises and awareness that tone and unlock the resonance within us. We explore how different emotions shape the voice, and — when telling a story — how to attribute the right resonance to what you're expressing, so your voice carries the truth of the moment.
→Authentic Storytelling+
Learning how to feel the story within you and express it in an authentic way, using techniques rooted in theatre. We work with structure, imagery, and lived sensation so the story doesn't just get told — it gets transmitted, landing in the room with weight and meaning.
→Relational Space-Holding+
Experiencing and understanding how space plays a part in our magnetism. You learn how to move within a room, hold the energy and tension of a group, and stay in relationship with your audience rather than performing at them.
→Embodiment+
How to invoke and embody what is true and authentic within your story and what you're sharing — making sure it becomes a whole-bodied experience, not just words spoken from the neck up. This is where voice, body, presence, and story become one.
Who This Is For
Anyone who has thought, I have a story to share, but hasn't quite found the way to activate it and express it. You do not need to have climbed a mountain or survived the extreme. You just need a moment that mattered — and the willingness to speak it.

Voices
What people say.
Working with Alex has been so much more than simply learning how to speak better in public. She has a real gift for helping you uncover the story underneath what you want to say and then finding the thread that makes that story meaningful to other people. She helped me understand the arc of my own story more clearly. What shaped me, why I do the work I do, and how to weave those pieces together in a way that feels authentic rather than rehearsed. What I love about Alex is that she doesn’t try to turn you into a polished “speaker.” She helps you become more you when you speak. Clearer, more embodied, and more intentional about what you actually want people to feel and understand. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone preparing for a talk, wanting to become a more powerful public speaker, or learning how to weave their personal story into their work in a way that genuinely connects.
Alex Gray was a phenomenal coach and guide throughout every aspect of the work I had set out for me for a TEDx talk. She led with prompts and reflections and I learned so many tools throughout all of the time we worked together — from the beginning to the end, crafting the talk, memorizing, and performance. Her presence was absolutely amazing. I'm so grateful for her. I ended up feeling very confident and performed better than I could've imagined. Thank you so much!
I am deeply grateful to Alex for her support in creating my 30-minute keynote talk. She helped me conquer my inner critic and performance anxiety, guiding me in delivery and pacing. With her expertise, I was able to share my life story compellingly and confidently.
Alex Gray — Founder, Unmuted™
About
I've been
where you are.
I'm Alex Gray — a trained actor, transformational speaking coach, and the founder of Unmuted.
My journey began on stage, where I discovered that performance isn't just art — it's medicine. That the act of being truly seen and heard has the power to heal, to shift, and to transform. I built a career in theatre and storytelling, then watched that understanding flip: it wasn't life feeding my craft. It was the craft feeding my life.
I've coached speakers for TEDx, Harvest Series, Spaceholders, and worked with entrepreneurs and thought leaders across industries. My clients have climbed the highest peaks in the world, survived the most brutal prisons, faced addiction, and come out the other side with a story that needed to be told. Artists, sex therapists, believers, change-makers — people who have lived something real and are ready to speak it.
I've spent years developing a methodology rooted in five pillars — Nervous System Regulation, Vocal Resonance, Authentic Storytelling, Relational Space-Holding, and Embodiment — because great speaking isn't a technique. It's a practice of becoming fully yourself.
Unmuted™ is where that practice begins.

FAQ
Questions? Answers.
Not necessarily. Part of Unmuted™ is discovering the story — and the wisdom — that's already in you. It doesn't need to be extraordinary or dramatic. What matters is what the story holds: the message within it, what you've come to understand, and what might shift when you share it.
Over the four weeks, we uncover that together and shape it into a five-minute talk that feels clear, alive and completely your own.
Anyone who feels ready to speak with more clarity, presence and truth — on a stage, in a boardroom, through your creative work, or simply in those moments when being heard really matters.
You don't need a title, a platform or an extraordinary life story. You just need the sense that there's something in you that wants to be said.
None.
Unmuted™ moves away from the old idea of public speaking — that the space somehow belongs to certain people, certain personalities or certain positions in life.
It doesn't.
This is about finding your way of speaking. Across the four weeks, you'll build the tools, techniques and experience to speak with greater confidence and presence, without having to become somebody else to do it.
There are many ways to hold a room. Take the five-question Unmuted™ Speaker Archetype test and discover the voice that might already be waiting to take the stage.
Cohorts are intimate — 8–10 people per group for the four-week program, and 15–30 for the two-day immersive. This ensures every voice is heard, and every participant receives meaningful one-to-one time with Alex.
The Unmuted™ Stage is a salon-style evening in your community. Each participant delivers their five-minute talk to a curated audience of invited guests. It's intimate, powerful, and unforgettable.
