I offer two distinct types of coaching to meet your needs:
Voiceover Coaching for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Often clients want to creat voiceovers for an eLearning course, or podcasts for employees to download, using one of the company’s executives or subject matter experts. But of course, most of these experts do not have strong public speaking skills, and have no idea what to do (and what not to do) when in front of an unforgiving microphone. Putting an unprepared person in front of a recording device does a disservice to both the speaker and the eventual listener. Think about some of the recordings you’ve doubtless heard over the years. They can be painful. And when that happens, the all-important message is lost.
Using my experience as a professional actor, voiceover artist, acting teacher, and coach, I work one-on-one to share simple skills and tips that enhance confidence and drastically improve results. You’ll hear better results in only 1-2 one-hour sessions.
Presentation Skills
Some people have a natural gift for public speaking, for standing up in front of a crowd and delivering an engaging prepared or impromptu speech. Most people, however, do not possess this gift. Regardless of whether you need to deliver important message to audiences in private board rooms, public auditoria, or on video, I can help you look and sound your best. After working with me, you’ll be able to drive home your message in a way that engages and motivates your listeners. And that’s what public speaking is all about. I can also teach you how to incorporate storytelling and storylines into your presentations, to heighten impact and make your message truly memorable.
In our one-on-one coaching sessions, I’ll assess your current strengths and identify improvement areas. I’ll work with you on exercises targeted specifically to your needs that you can practice with after our session. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution. This is all about you and your message. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a team member or a corporate leader. Together, we’ll explore how you can make optimal use of your voice, body, and eyes to bring your message to your listeners in a way that is both compelling and memorable. Sessions are typically one hour long, and you may only need 1-2 sessions to put you on the path to public speaking success. With my help, you can reach a whole new level in your career.
RATE: $125/hour plus expenses for one-on-one coaching; please inquire about group rates.
