✨From WHAT and HOW you SPEAK, ANNything becomes possible!
#ANNythingispossible
Not long ago, I wanted to move away from the label of 'voice coach'. I wanted to go further, to delve deeper, and to facilitate irreversible transformations in people, inspiring them to change in a big way, drawing from what life has taught me.
It was during a stroll through Vienna with my Austrian coach, Moritz Lembert, that everything clicked. He pointed out that everything I saw there was formed from one single word, from what someone had thought and spoken: 'In the beginning was the Word'.
During a Business Intensive a few weeks later, it all became crystal clear. I understood how everything we say or don't say shapes our outlook on life and creates our world.
Suddenly, I realized what a gift it was to be called a 'voice coach'. My mission was born: to help people speak plainly and impactfully in an easy way, inspiring them to tap into their full potential and fulfill their greatest ambitions.
From my extensive experience as a presenter and voice-over, I guide you in effortlessly communicating your persona, your brand, and your message from your most authentic self. And I teach you how to manifest your greatest dreams through your speech and being. Here and now.
That's what I stand for as a VOICE COACH: you are so very welcome! 💙

Working in radio in the early 2000s, I was asked to coach newly engaged voices. That role felt familiar, like an extension of myself, and was an opportunity to help others develop their full potential. |

I often think of Ann's coaching and feel it was superb. Her guidelines formed the base of everything and are still very useful to me today! I especially appreciated her motivating skills: she always had something positive to say which invited me to explore and expand my boundaries. That positivity certainly is an asset. I still am grateful to her!

I recall Ann as very enthusiastic and patient. She really wanted to lift me up to a higher level. Although I had a bit of an accent because of my West Flemish dialect, we mainly practiced intonation and technique: ‘how to launch a news item?’, ‘how to introduce a first sentence?’, ‘how to obtain variation?’ , ‘how to sound naturally, as when talking to a friend?’ There’s nothing as hard as maintaining your authenticity in front of a microphone. I would definitely recommend Ann!

Ann coaches from an intuitive place, drawing from a wealth of skillset and knowledge. She is a dynamic woman, and her coaching embodies true transformation for me. I found her coaching invaluable for envisioning and shaping the future, and for becoming aware of patterns and thoughts. I highly recommend her.

That voice reading was very empowering, I must say. I felt strengthened in seeing that I'm allowed to exist and to speak. Combined with Ann's enthusiasm, it encouraged me to make my voice heard more, both in front of a camera and in everyday life.

I want to thank you once again for the incredibly helpful and engaging session! Since then, I've been actively working on becoming more aware of my true self, my abilities, and my achievements.

Not a day goes by without me reflecting on these valuable lessons you've given me. Thank you for that! Warm regards, Christina 🌸

Voice Over Coaching for you | All benefits at a glance!
1.WARM-UPS
✨'Elastic sounds fantastic!'Vocal warm-ups shouldn’t only be part of your daily routine if you’re a singer, but when you’re a speaker as well. Similar to any exercising routine, a good stretch determines the further course of your performance. And the more you warm up your voice, the better it will feel when you actually have to ‘get out there'. Doing so you train yourself in speaking continuously without your voice ever feeling strained or tired.

2. PRONUNCIATION & SPEECH IMPAIRMENT |
3. PITCH AND EXPRESSION |

✨'Let's get loud!' |

Another way to be able to speak more with less effort is by paying attention to clear pronunciation. As a public speaker you want every single word to be heard.
If you speak too quickly or do not breathe deeply enough, you will lack the necessary energy to sound comprehensible until the end of your sentence. Should you suffer from more serious and/or physical speech impairments, I will gladly refer you to a speech therapist before I continue working with you. |
Once you ‘ve gotten a hold of someone's attention, it ‘s important to keep it. A good way to do this is through expression, by engaging with your voice and your body posture in a playful way. As a vocal coach, I invite you to explore the limits of your possibilities. Perhaps you ‘ve gotten accustomed to speaking continuously at the exact same tone, which is not an ideal way to keep people on their toes. Together we ‘ll discover different other ways to do so and ways that feel comfortable to you in particular. We will also uncover how you can highlight your message with a number of gestures and your body posture.

5. PERSUASION AND PURPOSE |
✨'I hear you!' |
✨'I feel you!' |
|
In addition to the connection with what you say, the connection with the person you are speaking to is equally decisive when you want to be heard. My voice coaching sessions will train you in maintaining an open attitude and eye contact with your audience. Because an audience that feels seen, will be more inclined to really listen to you.
|
Public speaking is more than moving a number of word sounds from point A to point B. You want the other person to believe you and really get your message, so it’s important to convey the right feeling. As a vocal coach, I can teach you how to connect with your audience and gain their undivided attention.
