Julie Scott – International Speaker with Soul and Voice
Looking for a speaker who moves and touches people? Someone who doesn’t just talk, but makes you feel – through voice, silence, story and body? I give voice to the themes that truly matter.
Screech at the Beach Sea is a raw, honest and unforgettable story about expression, leadership and collective release.
What started as a wild idea on the Dutch coast became a movement in which hundreds of people literally raised their voices. It reveals the power of expression – and the healing potential of shared space and sound.

Book a speaker who, awakens, inspires, and leaves a lasting impression.
In 2021, I initiated Screaach at the Beach, an intuitive idea that evolved into a global movement. Participants gathered at sunrise along the coast to—under my guidance—give voice to what was pent up inside. What began as a small initiative was picked up by media outlets such as NOS, Jinek, Trouw, de Volkskrant, NPO, The Guardian, and The New York Times. It went completely viral twice.
I now share this story on stage. Not as a presentation, but as an experience. With powerful imagery, humour, emotion, and the depth of voice and silence. I demonstrate how expression, creativity and vulnerability can lead to connection, resilience and leadership.
