Do people react well to the sound of your voice?

Do you want to maximize your pleasure and effectiveness in your spoken communication?

Your effectiveness as a communicator depends on what you say and how you sound when you say it.

Voice coaching is beneficial for everyone who uses her voice or his voice to communicate, and is especially beneficial for:

• Public Speakers: Being a public speaker carries the responsibility of demonstrating respect for the time and attention of each person in your audience. Your preparation and ease of communication allow the persons in your audience to enjoy the experience of your public speaking. Having a coach to work with you is a way to maximize your preparation efficiency.
• Podcasters: If you or your friends or loved ones do podcasting or other media, voice coaching can give them a boost in the competition for attention and the time of their listeners or viewers.
• Broadcasters: As with podcasters, voice coaching can give broadcasters a boost in the competition for attention and the time of their listeners or viewers.
  
• Salespersons
  
• Teachers
  
• Students
• Performers
  
• Customer Service Representatives
  
• Business Executives: Do you sound like a leader? Does the sound of your voice give customers and employees confidence?
  
• Lawyers: In what are often the tedious procedures of law and litigations, a well-modulated voice can be a welcome relief in the court room and in private with clients.
  
• Doctors: Perhaps someday medical schools will put a high priority on doctors using their voices to relax and inspire their patients. Meanwhile, doctors can study the arts of communication to be better providers of healing.
• Actors
  
• Voice-over Artists
  
• Storytellers
  
• Presenters
  
• Persuaders
• Wives: Does stress or fatigue cause your voice to rise in pitch and become strident? A woman's voice can be one of her most attractive qualities.
• Husbands: Does fatigue or thinking about something else give you a boring monotone with your beloved? A man's voice can be one his most attractive qualities.
• Sweethearts: Dulcet tones or annoying speech detractors--which is more pleasurable for your sweetheart to listen to?
• Mothers and Fathers: When mothers and fathers talk to their children, they are role models for pleasant and effective speech. Their children will learn speech habits from their parents. Parents can benefit from voice coaching in job-related and family-related situations.

etc., etc., etc.

Probably anyone who uses her voice or his voice for communication in business, family or social situations can benefit from voice coaching.
