  •  Maria has worked with numerous clients of mine and has provided incredible insight and value to them. She is a true expert in what she does, there is no one I have met or heard of that has the knowledge or skills in vocal matters like Maria. Her integrety, attention to details and her passion is what makes her work so powerful. She is brilliant and I simply can not recommend her services enough.

  •  I went to Maria terrified about having to go on TV and radio after bad public speaking experiences years ago. She is a genius - worked on physical symptoms and the psychological reasons that were making me panic. She's phenomenally intelligent, stopped me rambling, helping me get to what I wanted to say in a single sentence. Everything changed for me - genuinely. I'm completely comfortable now; events, live national TV and radio without crumbling. I've recommended her to everyone I know. I will forever be grateful.

  •  I contacted Maria after receiving feedback concerning the nasality of my voice which as a lawyer was crucial to my work, especially in the courtroom. The benefits of her work were immediately noticable and I have subsequently received compliments about the quality of my voice when speaking in public. I really cannot state the value of her services strongly enough.
    - Charles, Lawyer
  •  At last I am able to decide how much of my native accent I want to use. Your method has made me feel confident but has not left me feeling I have compromised my identity
