What People Say…
“The work I did with Julie was critical in helping me to achieve my career goals, in a way that is too subtle to achieve by legislation or institutional targets. The work was great fun too!”
C.M.
Workshop participants said my training was…
“…beneficial for ensuring a good vocal
standard across the business.”
“Informal, friendly and informative…well
worth attending.”
“Fantastic – thanks for all the great tips
and info that can be taken away and used immediately.”
“As an Account Manager for Sun Microsystems,
I had experienced a variety of presentation skills training
across a number of years both in the UK and the US.
I had heard a lot about Julie’s work from a colleague,
and decided to try a few sessions with her. Very quickly
I started to learn a great deal about my voice use,
stance and communication. I found this training significantly
improved my confidence and delivery. Following an intensive
course of 10 sessions I now continue with quarterly
training to stay on top of these skills. I would strongly
recommend this voice coaching to anyone who's career
requires strong communication skills.”

“Julie is a committed Christian whose interest
in presenting scripture and Bible truth clearly and
effectively becomes obvious during the training sessions.
She is well presented, affable and able to work with
a wide variety of people in a group at the same time.
Her presentations are stimulating without being overbearing
and the exercises are much more fun than intimidating.
Nevertheless, they achieve the result of encouraging
people to think about how they present and give them
the tools with which to do so.”
Revd Dr Paul Adams
“Julie's workshops were great - a good mix of
both theory and practical tips, with plenty of helpful
feedback. And I've been able to put what I learned into
practice - which has meant less wear and tear on my
voice.”
Rick Creighton
“It was very useful just to be told how to breathe
properly, something as simple as that! And it was reassuring
that the problems that I thought were unique to me,
turned out to be pretty much the same problems as everyone
else!”
Paul Rogerson
“Well prepared, comprehensive and engaging…”
“Innovative – new viewpoints on old issues.”
“Practical and expert without being over-specialised.”
“Very useful to help protect the voice…will
really consider the impact of some of my established
habits on my voice’s health.”
“Techniques taught with clarity”
“Came away with a really good understanding of
RP”
“Julie was very approachable, took an interest
in me and listened to my needs in a relaxed atmosphere.”
“Great method of teaching – lots of feedback
and fun”
“Pronunciation training with Julie helped me
to recognise and tackle those areas that required improvement.
It has also helped to enhance my confidence to speak
to large audiences as part of my work.”
A.M.
“The work has helped me to be less reactive and
calmer in the classroom. It’s helped me to develop
different vocal styles in order to persuade and inform
the pupils – to communicate effectively with them.
I now feel comfortable again - to stand in front of
an assembly and speak. The work produced instant benefits
– Julie didn’t baffle me with facts or make
me feel like I was doing things badly. I now know how
to use my voice and what to do if I ever have further
problems.
I wish all teachers had voice coaching when they start
out on their careers.”
G.W.
“Dealing with my voice issues has been made very
much easier with someone who combines professional expertise
with patience and sympathetic understanding. Julie helped
me regain some confidence and self belief which have
stood me in good stead as I journey towards recovery.”
