What Clients Have Said
I have learnt to speak more slowly and to articulate more clearly. I have also grown in confidence and there has been excellent progress in the projection of my voice. Thank you Pauline for an outstanding Course. It was fabulous and I really enjoyed the “hands on” approach as well as the constructive positive feedback.

Through this Course, I realized the potential of my voice. Is it ok to say I now love the sound of my voice? That is how I feel now, so YES! I have a newfound confidence when speaking to people!

Pauline’s coaching has changed my life!! I can hardly describe how the techniques have improved my confidence in Public Speaking. She helped me to articulate, project my voice and hold the room.
It feels like I have received a gift. Her Courses should be compulsory for all Managers and Leaders at all levels.

Nusrah Jawoodien
University of Cape Town
Pauline was a great help in developing my confidence when I had to address an audience and also in the commentating box during cricket games. I had challenges with my articulation and projection of my voice. The Vocal techniques I acquired were extremely beneficial. She has a unique talent in getting the best out of people.
JP Duminy
Former South African Cricketer
Pauline helped me to discover how to project my voice more powerfully. I was inspired to use my voice in ways that I never imagined would be possible for me. As a Coach, she is truly inspirational. I decided to become a Lecturer, despite being a nervous speaker. Now I know I can do this job feeling confident and in control.
I almost feel like Pauline saved my life.
