Questions of your ability to deliver creates more anxiety and self doubt.Your mind is going 100 miles per hour thinking: “Am I going to be loud enough?” “What if they don’t like the sound of my voice? I don’t like it myself!” “I speak too fast when I am nervous, and repeat the word, uhh thousands of times”. You glance at the cue cards in your hand and the talking points feel like an annoyance instead of an aid. reminding you of what you should NOT forget to say. NO PRESSURE!

   I’ve loved using my voice from as little as 5 years of age. I remember reaching for just about any object I could find in my room pretending it was a microphone. What I didn’t know was that this desire would one day take me into a profession of voicing commercials for brands like Mercedes Benz, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, Mackeson Stout, Wellings of Canada and many more. Living in the island of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, I always wanted to learn and experience more. Having attended an international Voice Summit in Los Angeles in the early 90s I connected with an amazing voice coach who literally helped my voice acting to move from one level to the next. This formed the foundation of my understanding for the technology of the voice. This exposure enabled me to start my career as a Voice-Over (VO) actor. Having been a VO actor for over 2 decades I now have the experience to coach you through creating warmth in your voice, sounding more sincere in your speeches or being able to speak with a range of emotion and expression.I started working with people to enhance their verbal communication using all the skills I acquired in Voice-Over, broadcasting and Radio Training. I now work with founders, coaches, and professionals to understand how to communicate with expression, warmth and colour.
