You want to make an impact in your team, your business, company or community. You have a promising idea or an important message to share.

But when it comes down to speaking up, presenting in a meeting, giving a talk or recording videos for your business's online presence, heavy doubts arise and your confidence leaves you quickly.

You wish to sound like a leader, charismatic and convincing, but sometimes your voice sounds thin, it even cracks. You might have received feedback that you sound monotone and people mentioned your vocal fry.

But you do not know how to improve your voice.

You worry that if something doesn't change soon, you will miss important opportunities.

The good news is that it does not need to be like this.

CMVL's Speaking Voice Intensive will help you to improve your voice, presentation skills and confidence so that you can share your message with the world.

"The Speaking Voice Intensive is the most useful and practical vocal training I have had in my over ten years of being a semi-professional voice actor. I increased my vocal range on the low and high end. I increased my vocal variety and have an incredibly larger holistic understanding of how the voice works. I know how to warm up and how to give more influential speeches. Christine's workshop is a must-take experience for anyone who wants to improve their speaking voice. I wish I'd taken her training earlier!" Joe Campo

Does this sound like you?

I lack vocal power and strength.
I sound monotone when recording a video for my business.
I'd love to have a deeper voice that commands the room.
I don't sound like the leader that I am.
I don't like hearing my voice on recordings.
I sound flat and boring when I present my research.
My voice has this gravely sound when I speak. Is this the vocal fry people talk about?
I have to repeat what I say because my team doesn't understand me.
My throat feels very tight and strained, and I tend to run out of breath.

No worries, a strong and confident voice is not about talent but skill.
Let me invite you to CMVL's Speaking Voice Intensive.

After 8 sessions, you will know how to

speak with clarity, authority, and confidence so that people listen.
improve volume, variety, and quality of your voice to give presentations that engage your audience.

Why did I create this program?

Our voice plays an important part in public speaking. It is the link between the listeners and us. Speakers learn in public speaking classes that clarity of speech, vocal variety, and audience engagement are crucial but do not receive detailed instruction and feedback on how to achieve this. This program aims to fill this gap: Focusing on body and voice. How do you speak louder, with projection, less nasal, and with a vocal variety that you capture your audience’s interest? I will give you specific feedback and guide you through powerful vocal and acting exercises that I used in my over 15 years as a voice teacher and performer. You can develop a voice and speaker presence you can be proud of. (Yes, even if you are shy, introverted, and prefer running away just thinking about giving a talk. Promised!)

"I am happy to have experienced the Speaking Voice Intensive group class.
At first, I thought 1:1 coaching would be better, but I am glad I did it in a group setting. I was initially unsure if the exercises would work, but I saw in real-time how everyone improved with the suggestions Christine gave. Thanks, Christine!"

What clients are saying about CMVL's Speaking Voice Intensive and working with voice teacher and vocal coach Christine

"Christine's speaker class is like a gym for the voice! I took it because my voice dropped at the end of sentences. People did not understand me. Christine explains exactly how sounds are made and how to practice, so making them well becomes second nature. I've learned ways to control my voice and how to breathe so I have enough power to be heard to the end of my thought. I have to repeat myself less frequently. My heartfelt thanks -- it was a wonderful class!"

Roberta Miller

"I joined the Speaking Voice Intensive with a monotone voice that came out from the back of my throat. I sound so different now! I learned how to project and use vocal variety to express emotion in my speeches.
Christine’s exercises and teaching style are powerful. She explains everything, involves everyone and her humor made me feel at ease. It was fun learning from each other polishing our speeches. I highly recommend this class."

Shaida Mohamed

"Great class, well thought out, prepared for, and delivered! It is an excellent opportunity to focus on making the voice better, without needing to worry about the content of the speech, nor memorization. The tools I have now to increase my resonance and make my speaking more interesting come in very handy."

"I took the Speaking Voice Intensive for 2 months and am very happy with the result! I could clearly hear difference on my voice during presentation or speech. I enjoyed every lesson as it was fun and inspiring. Christine kept motivating us to make sure that we continue training outside of the class. Her training class is definetely worth more than what I paid. Highly recommended!" Atsuko Fujii

What clients are saying working with voice teacher and vocal coach Christine

"The group lessons have been beneficial and fun. Besides her talent, Christine’s good cheer contributes to her excellence as a teacher. She gives constructive feedback in a positive manner, and confirms you understand the feedback before continuing the session.
I learned about the vocal fry and how I can eliminate this creaky sound in my voice. One of the great takeaways from the lessons is the confidence they inspire. Christine’s focus on posture, breathing and vocal tone have contributed to my developing more confidence in expressing myself."

Stephanie Snow, Crimson Toastmasters, Cambridge

Weebly Inc

"Christine's voice workshops are fun and informative. My own vocal quality has improved, and I've enjoyed hearing other speakers improve their vocal quality and articulation. In my speeches, I was receiving consistent feedback that my voice trailed off at the end of sentences and it was difficult to understand me. Christine identified the issue quickly and gave me simple directions to improve my breathing and resonance to avoid vocal fry and energize the end of my sentences."

Michèle Biscoe, Distinguished Toastmaster, Cambridge, MA

Weebly Inc

"I was truly inspired by Christine's workshop on how to develop a confident voice. Her step by step instructions were both clear and effective for each individual present. Now I know how to warm up my voice before doing my work as a puppeteer. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a voice coach to contact her and/or participate in one of her workshops."
