Voice Training and Coaching - Presenting with a Confident Voice
Are you ashamed of your voice? Do you lack Presentation Skills?
Do you have a weak voice or have you been passed over for a promotion because you don't speak well?
Do you feel that others think you have an annoying or even boring voice? Do you wish you had a rich, clear, resonant voice that gave you a sense of authority with people at work, at home or out with friends where you tend to be the listener when your conversation simply doesn't cut through the chat?
The ability to use your voice to influence and motivate is a valuable skill in any field, at any level of the organisation.
In many workplaces now, presentations have become so important, they not only communicate ideas. They are an important means of influencing opinions and leading change. They are also a vital platform to be noticed by the people that matter.
With so much at stack, executives can no longer deliver presentations that are merely informational. In today's culture of lifetime employability, not only must executives be able to speak with confidence, they must be able to present ideas and findings convincingly to their colleagues, bosses and customers.
I will help executives add value to their careers by empowering them with skills to deliver presentations that inspire their listeners through this hands-on guidance. I will mentor executives in crafting their delivery with elegance and finesse, and developing a style they can truly call their own.
You'll learn simple exercises and easy but effective lifestyle changes that will improve your voice, that will reduce stumbling and mumbling, and give you an assured air around people, and help make new friends and contacts.
You'll develop a more confident, deeper and more powerful voice - that'll make people pay attention and listen to your every word!

Testimonials
I have undergone an individual voice coaching with Sharlyn Lim. I cannot recommend her enough. I have always been terrified to speak in public. English is not my mother-tongue, and I've always stammered and try to shy away from presenting at work. Sharlyn taught me specific speaking voice techniques which I implemented quickly in my daily job and the transformation has been phenomenal. Anyone can do it if you practice what she taught you!
