"Words can't begin to describe the gratitude that I have for Sandra and the work she does. I've struggled my whole life with a voice that was very soft and was tired of people saying that they couldn't hear me. I had always thought that was just the way things were and that nothing could be done about it. Finally at age 27 I got up the courage to call Sandra. I was immediately put at ease by her warm, professional manner and her understanding of what I was going through. We went to work immediately and she taught me the basics, showing me how I was breathing incorrectly and not using my core. We did floor exercises and a bit of yoga to help me find my optimal pitch. By our second session, I was already well on my way to having the stronger and more resonant voice I had always wanted. I learned techniques that I can use every day to sustain my clearer, richer tone. I'm so glad that I decided not to settle for a voice that I didn't love, and am thankful to Sandra for giving me the tools to find the voice I've always envisioned for myself."

"...You are a natural teacher... Thank you for helping me bring my skills to a new level..."

"When I am on the pulpit, I always find myself channeling your teachings - I hear your voice telling me to unlock my knees, to breathe, to firm up my articulation. Your valuable pointers on preaching and insights on sermons have all been a great help..."

"I am not a native-speaker of English and I work in the pressure-cooker environment of Wall Street. Before an important presentation I felt that I needed some help with my accent. I contacted Sandra after interviewing numerous voice-coaches. What I got was more than I expected. Sandra gave me very personal attention, went the extra mile to understand the specifics of my situation. She went beyond simple voice-coaching and into presentation training. And "yes" the presentation went terrifically...."
Simeon Doytchinov Analyst/Developer, Barclays Capital

"Finding Sandra was like striking gold. She is the only voice coach who actually did help me reduce my Scandinavian accent and managed to do so in a shockingly short time, but what’s more, she helped me take my career as a TV and video talking head and host to a whole other level. With Sandra, I mastered a “barely there” accent, developed my voice quality, and, as we videotaped our classes, learnt how to truly shine on camera, no matter what my topic—not to mention that I had so much fun working with her, I never wanted our classes to end! I use the techniques I learnt from Sandra daily and I also have her on speed dial, as I now never start a new gig without coaching with her first!"

"Excited but nervous about the upcoming event to introduce the press to my new book 'Designers Here and There: Inside the City and Country Homes of America's Top Decorators' I turned to Sandy for guidance. She gave me excellent exercises to alleviate my jitters and enhance my delivery, and filmed me so that I could improve my presentation. I'd recommend her to anyone anytime!"
