“I use my voice
as a consultant, teacher and presenter.
I came to Richard Jennings to improve the
quality of my speaking voice and develop
some greater awareness of my voice. In a
few short sessions Richard has managed to
point out my natural range, ways to use
my voice more effectively, and ways to protect
my voice from damage. Through feedback and
exercises I have much greater awareness
of my breath, pacing, inflection, tone and
impact.”
- Bill
"I had no idea you would be able to
pick up on the problem so quickly and put
me on the road to clarity. Your techniques
are clear and simple. Best of all, you made
it ok to make 'goofy sounds' in front of
you and each week you added a little something
different so that I was always moving forward.
Recently I went back and listened to the
CD of our first session and compared it
to last week's recording. Wow, what a difference!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your
encouragement."
- Christine

We record each lesson. The CD you take home becomes
a useful tool. It has everything you need to meet

6-8 weeks of lessons are usually
plenty to give you the skills you need to
use your speaking voice effectively.
