Your Voice, Your Calling Card

Answer the simple questions in the vocal assessment. If you answer "sometimes" or "often" to multiple questions, vocal coaching could indeed help you.

Your voice is like a muscle in your body—you can tone and strengthen it quickly, but to maintain your gains and keep growing, you need consistent coaching practice.

So, to lock in progress, keep improving, and continually correct your technique so you can avoid re-practicing unrecognized bad habits…the best, initial training program for speakers has 5 sessions of about 45 minutes each. And they work like this:

• Your first session is a deep-dive Vocal Assessment, where we can really pinpoint where your voice is now—what’s your voice type? What’s your range? How’s your breathing? What other factors need to be taken into consideration? And so on. We combine your Vocal Assessment with your Goals, to determine what we’ll focus your coaching on, in the next sessions.
• Your 2^nd, 3^rd, 4th and 5th coaching sessions are all dedicated to getting you outcomes and progress. We call them “solution sessions”. These sessions are usually 1 to 2 weeks apart, and I’ll make you a Practice Plan for what to focus on or exercises to do, between sessions. That way, you always know how to be improving and making progress, even in a week when we’re not together.
• Your 6^th and final program session is a Tune-Up and Progress Assessment. That’s about 3 to 4 weeks after Session #5, so we can check in on how you’re adapting the techniques and we can make any tune-ups you need. My favorite part of this final session is that we get to do a new Vocal Assessment so we can capture your progress and you get to see and hear how you’ve improved compared to your first session, so you can see how you’re growing and improving.

For the timeline of your program, we’ll work to fit your schedule and practice routine, but most clients complete all sessions within 2 months.

Speaking of results, you can start hearing improvement as soon as our first solution session, but for sustained, noticeable growth, it’s critical that you fulfill all 6 sessions and follow the practice plan we agree on, at the end of each session.

The results you will experience depend on 1. the way you speak currently, 2. the goals you have, 3. how committed you are to dedicate some time and effort to regularly doing your vocal warm-ups and the other homework that I will give you.

Results could include:

• a better awareness of and connection with your voice
• a stronger and more versatile voice
• better breath control resulting in more power and control
• no longer ending a day of speaking with a sore throat or hoarse voice
• a love of your voice!
• a greater range in pitch, power and pace
• more variety in your voice (goodbye, Monotone!)

Absolutely, vocal coaching could still be useful for you. You do not need to be a singer.

The focus of the vocal coaching package is to develop your spoken voice. We will use Roger Love's vocal exercises to strengthen you vocal cords and your breathing, expand your pitch range and develop good habits.

Yes, absolutely. I like to meet with clients in person, whenever possible, but with vocal coaching sessions its just as efficient online. You will be able to book your sessions directly into my calendar and we will hold them online through my Zoom account.

Of course, if you live nearby (e.g. Suisse Romande) and we have the opportunity to meet up at least once, that would be fabulous (but absolutely not necessary).

Here's a good one:

After being promoted to a new directorial role, Annabel (name changed for privacy) – a senior employee at a UN agency - came to me to help her develop her voice which she “felt has always held her back.”

As a child, Annabel was told that she could not sing.

So, she stopped singing and it broke her heart because she really loved to sing.

Even at her weekly place of worship, she shied away from singing.

Since then, she has felt disconnected from, and almost embarrassed, by her voice.

But she was determined to work hard to become confident in her voice, so that it would adequately represent who she truly is and what she believes in.

Her dream was to be invited by senior management and her peers to speak at events and receive a standing ovation.

Annabel’s vocal baseline assessment showed that she did not have good breath control and used a limited range of pitch when she spoke.

With the support of Roger Love’s vocal warm ups, supplemented by exercises designed to further expand her vocal range and relax her when speaking and singing, Annabel has discovered a new, freer, more joyful voice.

Her voice sounds richer and she’s able to add more melody into her everyday speech.

Annabel now enjoys exploring her voice and the freedom that the higher range has given.

She even prepared a “showcase” performance for some close girlfriends to celebrate her “new” voice and to inspire them to stand up and speak up with pride.

She has recently been invited to facilitate a day-long training with some junior colleagues and is incorporating what she has learned and continues to practice so that her voice does not hold her back anymore.

Will she get a standing ovation? Time will tell but she’s certainly on her way!

The Roger Love Method of Voice Coaching for Speakers is the most trusted voice coaching method for speakers in the world. Over a million people have learned the Method’s techniques.

It was developed by Roger Love, who is the world’s foremost voice coach and he pioneered the industry of voice coaching for SPEAKERS, after being the top singing voice coach for decades. He’s the voice coach for Anthony Robbins and Reese Witherspoon, Selena Gomez, Steve Carrell, Tyra Banks, you name it--celebrities, CEOs, authors, influencers, comedians, they all want the Roger Love Method because it produces RESULTS. It’s helped speakers and leaders of nearly every industry, across the world, for almost 40 years.

The techniques are really accessible--you don’t need to know how to sing. You don’t need any previous training. You don’t even need to read music. You just have to follow along with me and the techniques I’ll give you. Sounds good, right?

If this is your first time working with a Roger Love Method Certified coach, that’s probably because there’s only a few of us in the entire world who have the Certification. Just a sneak peek into the process: you should know that, in order for me to earn this Certification, I had to apply and be selected, which has about a 15% acceptance rate, just to be able train for this credential. Then, for my training, I learned directly from Roger Love, LIVE. Then, I had to earn a perfect score—100%--on his Official Certification exam. And excellence is so important to us as RLMC coaches, we have to retake and re-pass the Official Exam at 100% every single year, just to maintain our credentials.
