I often think of Ann's coaching. I feel it was superb. Her guidelines were the base of everything and still very useful today! I especially that she could motivate me well: she always found something positive that made me dare to do more. That is certainly her strength. I am still grateful to her! |
During my job as a radio presenter and producer in the early 2000s, I was automatically asked to train my newly hired colleagues. That role felt very familiar and natural to me. It was as if my talent now really became evident: the capacity to give someone insight into his/her abilities and to provide the means and confidence to make that potential grow.
Does your voice feel uncomfortable or even 'ugly' and do you want that to change? Are you looking for guidance to speak in public or to voice your own corporate film or testimonial? Do you need practical guidelines to help you present yourself confidently and convincingly? I will be happy to lead you on your way. Together we will explore your voice and appearance, but also and perhaps even primarily what thrives you in live. Because all that makes you happy will spark your ability to speak with passion and compassion.
You can also call on me as a voice director to guide less experienced colleagues – or children - during a recording session. Feel free to visit my contact page for more information or bookings. I provide voice coaching sessions in Dutch and English. Welcome!

I recall Ann as very enthusiastic and patient. She really wanted to lift me up to a higher level. Although I sometimes sounded a bit ‘impure’ because of my West Flemish dialect, we mainly practiced intonation and style: ‘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 so hard as maintaining your authenticity in front of a microphone. I would definitely recommend Ann! (Benedikte Cousement - Radio1 'De Ochtend) |
