Wondering if professional voice training is right for you?
- You know what you want to say, but you have difficulty expressing your thoughts clearly or confidently.
- You stumble over your words or become nervous before you speak in front of others, even though you're knowledgeable on the topic.
- You're unhappy with the quality of your voice. Maybe it sounds too soft, too high, too nasal, or too creaky and you're worried that your voice is sometimes a distraction.
- You hold back from talking in meetings because you're worried that you may forget what you wanted to say or say the wrong thing.
- You want to move up into a leadership position at work, but you feel like your voice and public speaking skills are lacking.
- You're not sure how you come across when you speak. Your facial expressions, eye contact, posture, or energy don't match the confident, friendly speaker you want to be.
If this describes you, then professional voice training can help you to become the dynamic and engaging speaker that you want to be!

Common questions
Do you coach public speaking?
Yes. We practice with your own material, like a presentation, a sales pitch, or a talk you're preparing. We work on your voice, your pacing, how clearly you get your point across, and your non-verbal communication: eye contact, facial expressions, posture, and presence.
Do you work with clients outside San Diego?
Yes. Most of my clients live outside San Diego, in other states and other countries. All sessions are live on Zoom, so you can train from home or your office, wherever you are.
Can I combine voice training with accent training?
Yes. You can add private accent reduction training to your sessions.
Gain Confidence with Professional Voice Training
Here's what a few of my clients have to say about working with me:
Nicky E.
Spanish, Student
With Julie's courses, I was able to improve and tweak my rhythm, intonation, placement, and the flow of my speech. Now I feel much more confident and visible speaking up in English. My speaking skills are no longer keeping me silent! I highly recommend Julie's courses to anyone, both non-native speakers and native speakers, who want to sound more confident, powerful and natural expressing themselves! If you're wanting to find your unique and powerful voice in English, Julie has got your back!
Sunit V.
Hindi, Electrical Engineer
Working with Julie was awesome! She helped customize the syllabus as per the feedback from my initial performance review, which helped me focus on my weak areas such as understanding intonation, consonants, and American English pronunciation. The course gave me a jump start to becoming a better storyteller.
Aaron Z.
Mandarin, Student
I am very fortunate to learn from Julie. She is one of the most responsible teachers I’ve ever had. She is very organized. She would make a plan every time before class and give good feedback after. I also had a practice sheet that tracked my practice time. All of these small details made me study and make progress, and I was always able to see my improvement after each class. If you want to fix your accent precisely and efficiently, Julie will be your best choice.
