Developing greater resonance, authority and influence - without shouting or strain

Your speaking voice is one of the vital assets in your life.  It’s not so much the accent or the elocution that matters  - it’s more a case of how confident you sound, and how easily your voice comes across without any sign of strain.
An authoritative voice is important in business. A resonant voicer is influential in public gatherings. An appealing voice makes conversation a pleasure. A voice with staying power is essential if you’re dealing with the public throughout your working day. Better Voice will help you develop all those qualities in your speaking voice, while taking all strain off your throat.

Some comments from previous course users:

As a singer and a teacher I feel a lot more confident in how to effectively look after my vocal health, and use my voice more effectively in the classroom.

Trevor C.

I have more control. The children listen more and are engaged in their learning.

Daysheen B.

I have noticed I am better understood because I am speaking more clearly and loudly.

Joshua C.

My listeners pay more attention to what I have to say. This is because I have learnt to use a variety in tone of voice when I speak. I have also gained more power when I sing, without any strain.

Livia O., teacher

My voice is now calm and flowing without as much effort and less strain on the throat.

Martin H.
