EXECUTIVE VOICE COACHING AND TRANSFORMATIVE SPEAKING TECHNIQUES
Become the speaker you’ve always imagined you could be.
Got a big presentation, and you’re afraid the right words won't come out?
Do friends, family, and colleagues accuse you of mumbling?
Do you trip over your tongue when it's time to express your feelings?
Are you afraid to open your mouth and speak your truth?
Do you lose your voice just when it matters most?
Can’t get your breath and run out of steam too quickly?
Then we need to talk.
In our one-on-one sessions, you will receive the tools and techniques you need to speak your truth with confidence, clarity, courage, strength, and brio.
We will address the fundamental parts of voice and speech, your vocal foundation will be strengthened, and your latent vocal power will be unleashed.
It sounds impressive, but it’s actually mechanical. Which is means that ANYONE can do it! Our sessions will be specifically tailored to you and your needs, but everyone will learn the basics.

Wondering what’s it like to work with a world-class voice and speech coach?
How often do we work together?
That depends on your needs and goals. I start with a minimum of six coaching sessions in order to establish a foundation of technique. Twelve sessions is ideal, especially if you are prepping for a public speaking event—it gives you time to practice and rehearse.
Why do I need multiple sessions? Can’t I learn this in a day?
Heck, no! Mastery takes time. I can demonstrate exercises that will yield immediate results, and it looks like magic, but it’s not. You have to practice for the technique to become second nature for you.
What do we do in a voice session?
I teach you the basics of voice and speech production. We work on posture and alignment, breathing technique, how to rid your body and voice of tension, stage and vocal presence, vocal resonance, how to articulate words so you can be more easily understood. I tailor the course of study specifically to your needs and goals. As we delve more deeply into our work together, you begin to develop an understanding of how to use the technique to communicate compellingly with your audience.
Will I have to move around a lot?
Be prepared to get physical! Speaking is a full-body endeavor. We will be doing exercises that will make you feel your voice from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. Being on your feet also helps you learn how to better engage with your audience and cultivate presence.
I have a presentation to make in two months. Is that going to be enough time to make any difference?
Yup. It can make a big difference! We take all the basic vocal and speech exercises and apply them to your presentation. Your weekly sessions become rehearsals for your big upcoming event. Contact me for my availability.
English is not my mother tongue. I feel shy about speaking up, and sometimes people say they can’t understand me. Can you help?
Yes, I can. I’ve worked with clients from all over the world — Australian, Indian, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Irish! I’ve got you!
I want to work in person, but I’m not in Philadelphia. Can you travel to me?
Anything is possible. Contact me for rates and availability.
“For my whole life, I’d had the problem of losing my voice when speaking for over 30 minutes. Now I can make it through a 60 minute keynote with an ease I never had before. Above all, D’Arcy is a kind, energetic, caring human being. You’ll get much more from her than a stronger voice.”
