Statement of Philosophy: The human voice is the most powerful tool of communication we possess.  I specialize in helping speakers learn to convey ideas with clarity, confidence, and conviction.  Barriers such as fear, unclear diction, inadequate volume, poor eye contact, a monotonous voice, or bad posture should not stand in the way of expressing ideas effectively.  Through private coaching, group classes, and workshops, I work with people to develop techniques for communicating with passion, authority, and persuasiveness.
