Voice Studio

"A listening audience responds to the timbre and freedom in your vocal sound, no matter what the topic of presentation."

Private Coaching for Business Presenters

Voice Coaching is individual sessions with Marieke where you learn skill-building tools for a strong, healthy, clear voice.  Each session includes exercises and practice with feedback and is recorded on CD for you to take home.  Voice coaching is for you if...

    

  •     You want your voice to be louder and stronger so that you can be heard.
  •     You want your words to be clear and understandable.
  •     You want to not run out of breath!
  •     You need help with feeling nervous, having dry mouth or shaky knees.

   

Review of DVD/Video

No time for individual sessions in your busy schedule?  Submit a high-quality DVD of a presentation that you've done.  Marieke will watch the DVD, make observations and suggestions for improvement and send it to you in a written format, with a coaching by phone as a follow-up.

Live Review of Presentation

Are you already a presentational speaker and want to bring your skills to the next level?  Marieke can attend and observe one of your presentations and follow-up with a follow-up of one or more coaching sessions.

  

An initial consultation helps Marieke identify what your needs are as a speaker.  Please call or email to schedule a time.
