Love The Sound Of Your Voice?

Tips for overcoming fear of public speaking

Ask your Voice™, is another way of saying, 'how is your Voice', which is what I often heard when entering the Stage door of an International Opera theatre. I was always greeted, 'good evening", followed immediately in the same phrase, "How's the Voice this evening?' It is for this reason I named it "Ask your Voice™" and its logo beholds the colors of the rainbow. Why? Because the Human Voice contains all of the nuances of the rainbow's colors. "Our Human Voice and our Persona are our most 'valuable and authentic' tools for communication".

By applying the Ask your Voice™ method, my clients unanimously were able to communicate more effectively with impact, ease and confidence. They discovered and unleashed hidden nuances of colors, variety of expressions and power by integrating both their Voice and Persona. The most rewarding result was to see how some clients grew to appreciate and expand their Persona, and most especially, how some discovered their real Voice for the first time."

"The Human Voice is like a kaleidoscope enriched with harmonic content of sounds, enabling one to express a variety of thoughts and emotions; the most 'authentic' instrument for communication."
