Along with singers, I have trained many entrepreneurs, authors, and business professionals with both in-person and online speaking lessons, helping them refine their voices and become more self-assured and impassioned speakers.
Your presence is key. It’s what makes someone remember you. When you are able to regulate your nervous system and begin opening your throat chakra (your energy center which governs your voice and your inner truth) you can find flow in your expression and stand in your authentic presence.
Voices are like fingerprints. They are utterly unique. Unlike most vocal coaches, I use two powerful tools — my extensive expertise in vocal technique and my deep level of intuition — rooting my practice in the parallel universes of science and metaphysics. In this way, I hear and feel simultaneously, and I help you to go deep to harness and truly own your voice.
THE PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER GLOW-UP
In two 60-min sessions, I'll take you through my vocal “glow-up” process for business professionals, entrepreneurs, authors, and service providers, where I’ll help you radically re-work your approach to speaking and presence!
I’ll assess your voice to determine physical strengths and weaknesses in the current moment. We'll use diction exercises, SOVT exercises (semi-occluded vocal tract exercises), and a variety of spoken text to explore vocal resonance, tone, texture, and phrasing.
During our second session, I will guide you in integrating your new speaking skills, applying them to your specific situation (ie. presentations for meetings or conferences, podcast interviews, creating video content for your business, etc) with flow and confidence!
Please note that both sessions of The Professional Speaker Glow-Up are to be completed within a 4-week window.
Your sessions will be recorded digitally and hosted for you via Dropbox for outside practice.
Speaking lesson testimonials
“Hire her now! Oh my God, such an amazing teacher, instructor, person.
During the California wildfires I really struggled, because my vocal cords were burning when I finished work. I taught at the SPCA, and trying to speak loudly meant that I came home feeling like I had shards of glass in my chest.
Heather helped me find ways to strengthen my vocal cords. She helped me find ways to not put as much stress on them, she helped me find ways to project my voice. She also helped me work on something that was very personal, which was storytelling in public.
As someone with a very loud voice, it was so wonderful to have Heather teach me how to harness my energy. She’s also just a really awesome person. I can’t recommend her enough, and I highly recommend that you work with her.”

“I was so nervous before meeting Heather. It felt like the first day of school. But she is seriously one of the most awesome people I've ever met. Everything about her just made me feel relaxed and willing to learn. She records every lesson so you can track your progress, and the concepts she teaches have helped with my public speaking and phone calls with clients. Overall this is the best experience I could have ever asked for in taking voice lessons, and I look forward to many, many more!”
