I am based in South Orange County, California. I coach locally in-person and globally via Zoom. One of the great features of Zoom is that we can record the video of your session. And you always receive dedicated, personalized training and coaching from a person who cares about your progress.

​

You have an authentic voice. My job is to help you establish solid skills, or to help you cut through layers of applied techniques that are interfering with your best voice production and that authentic voice. We'll find the "real" quality in your read or live presentation that makes you unique!

​

For online coaching, minimum requirements are a reliable high-speed Internet connection, a computer with adequate processing ability, and a built-in camera or added web cam. An additional USB microphone or other microphone set-up is beneficial. A system that allows for a condenser or more upgraded microphone setup is preferable, but not essential.

​

So let's get to work! Call for more information. I look forward to working with you!
