Attention all Teachers, Trainers, Coaches, Aerobics Instructors, Barristers, Team Leaders, Tour Guides, Solo Entrepreneurs, Sport's Coaches, Counsellors, Therapists, Nurses, Doctors, Sales People ... in fact all those who depend on their voice to get the best out of themselves and their jobs.

Learn how to have a stronger, healthier, more vibrant voice.

Overcome old habits, and apply exercises that will keep your voice healthy, full of life and free from vocal fatigue, strain and sore throats due to mis-use. Discover the joy and confidence gained from learning to use your voice to enthral, motivate and excite your friends, colleagues, students and clients. Join us in ‘The Voice Gym'© and once and for all strengthen your vocal abilities and communication skills to let others see and hear the very best possible version of yourself. 

It is a fact of life - the voice is our primary communication tool, and too often others can be turned off by what seem like hesitant, nervous and unconvincing tones.  We can even disappoint ourselves when we mentally prepare for something and then in the delivery do not achieve our own goals and expectations.  You may even find your voice getting tired and husky at the end of a long day or week? Not any more! These inspirational two days will transform your experience of speaking and give you the skills to confidently express yourself with a versatile and more attractive sounding voice.

Demand for all of Poll's open courses is always high, and if past events are anything to go by you will need to be quick to reserve your place. Here's what people have said about their training time with Poll:

"Poll, thank you for the tremendous experience over the weekend. Your course gave me so much practical advice and specific skills that will help make the most of my voice. As a coach and motivator, my voice is critical for success in my business and the techniques and exercises are already making a difference. I wish I had gone on this course years ago. Still, better late than never, and I wholeheartedly recommend Poll and his insightful training."
  Brian Cavanagh, Calibrate Ltd

"I will never, never take my voice for granted again! Without Poll I would not have realised how easy it is to use my voice in an an assertive, persuasive AND friendly way. Before I always lacked the confidence to express myself, now I know I have the tools to be myself the way I have always wanted people to see and hear me"  
  Rachel Grant, Human Resources Director

"I found Poll's course inspiring, motivating, challenging and just what I needed to move my career forward. As an exceptional communications expert, Poll offers one of the very best professional development courses I have ever undertaken - both at home and abroad. Not only is the course thorough, well planned and demanding, it is also excellent value for money."
  Rosaleen Molloy, Broadcaster, Cultural Arts Specialist

"This was one of the best courses I have ever attended. Brilliant is only the start of it. It had so much, so hands on, completely practical and techniques ready for use on the spot. It is rare to have the opportunity to work with a true master and teacher of his craft. My only regret is that I did not meet Poll earlier on in my career."
  John Lally, Teacher

"As a university lecturer, it is important for me to be able to communicate concepts and arguments to my students in a manner that is clear and engaging for them. During this two day course with Poll, we were made more aware of the importance of voice and its effectiveness in good communication. Through encouragement and honest appraisal, combined with step by step techniques, exercises and skills, each of us was inspired to become more confident and more effective in our own natural delivery styles. This approach was very useful and very rewarding for all of us, and I would strongly recommend Voice Coach Training for everyone whose voice is important in their careers." 
  Dr. Cahill, University Lecturer, Ireland
