We've all had to jump online and learn a lot of new tricks. We've had to become teachers to our kids, videoconferencing stars at work and generally keep the show on the road.  It feels unrelenting. Here are a few voice suggestions to keep you sane. 1.Keep breathing. 2.Adjust your computer height so you are looking at it at eye level, thus avoiding neck strain and letting your voice flow out smoothly. 3. Test and adjust your mic volume so you don't need to speak too loudly. 4. Sip warm lemon and honey water intermittently. 5. Rest....a lot more.

Time for fun and games....We're looking forward to meeting the elite Victorian Women's Cricket squad for some advanced training on how to sound great and deliver messaging victories as they continue on their stellar pursuit of excellence.

We've been busy designing and presenting a great course for the brand new Sydney Metro. Their busy controllers and staff needed some professional guidance on how to deliver excellent messages, so we showed them how to do it! Now all they need is for the equipment they announce through to be tweeked a little bit further, so that their well structured messages can be more easily heard in those sleek metro trains and beautiful new stations. 

Well it's almost here. For many of our clients Christmas is a time for family, fun, feasting and celebrations. Carols are sung and stories are told. Not everyone celebrates Christmas of course, however, we wish you all a wonderful end to the year. See our latest Chrismas video on our facebook page and put a smile on your dial. 

We have just had the priviledge of working with Lillian on her personal presenting and recording style.

Lillian has just recorded an appeal for The Lung Foundation Australia who are shining a light on Lung Cancer. Lillian tells of the prejudice that many people with lung cancer are faced with. There is so much more to her story. A brave and beautiful woman, being of service to others. You make us proud.

What is getting in your way as a speaker? Are you feeling unskilled? Embarrassed? Hate your voice? Don't know what to do with your hands? Well guess what. It's all fixable. We have some really good techniques to teach you and some compassionate hearts to help you. We've lost count of the number of people who've said this is the best training they've ever had. So if you're sitting on the fence,dangle your legs a little, hop down and come on safari with us. Let's capture your creativity, talent and confidence and bring it home.

We had a very interesting assignment this month helping with a motion capture project. With motion capture you need to make your face move so that all the dots line up for the many cameras that are simultaneously filming you. Speakers need to remember to move their mouths and relax. Pretty stressful in an odd environment that's for sure. Our reassuring coach helped put the candidate at ease and give a great natural performance.

Not only does YOUR voice have value...so does the domain name Voice.com. It sold for ....wait for it....$30 million! Holy cow! It is now the highest value domain name in the world. 

We've had a busy month so far. Running speech trainings in Brisbane for virtual presenters; teaching Politicians in Parliament and coaching Chinese and Indian delegates in accent reduction in Sydney. Phew. And there's lots more to come as people are gearing up for the EOFY season. Got some training allowance to spend before the end of the financial year? Come on in and learn to make a great impression with your voice. Get ready to rock the new financial year!

We've had a busy month. Bet you have too. So now it's time to put down your tools and enjoy a little rest and rabbit time. Grab those chocolate eggs and indulge yourself. We'll catch you all again next week. Take care, stay safe and have fun!

It's been awhile in the planning,however our new suite of Voice Business Sites are live. Each site relates to a specific course and adds more useful information about what you can learn.

It's always a pleasure to visit our clients across the ditch. Great fun was had by all and our team was warmed up ready for the New Year of consulting. Next stop Adelaide and Melbourne. Feels like we'll be run off our feet this year. We love it though! Wishing everyone a great start to the year. 

It's the year for you to stop hiding your talents and finally let go of your fear. Did you know that fear is just "excitement...without the breathing!"

Come join us...we're here to help you perform at your best. Make 2019 your best year yet!

How many parties are you going to this season? And how many parties are you avoiding because you're shy, don't know what to say or just give up in noisy, crowded environments? If this is you...come and learn how to rev up your speaking style, mobilise your conversation starters and safely project your voice so people can hear you.
