BRENDA C. SMITH, LLC
PUNTA GORDA, FLORIDA

employs a simple seven-step process to help anyone employ their voice more effectively in business.      In this useful how-to book, Smith, a voice coach, offers a comprehensive program for improving one’s speaking voice with an emphasis on making better business presentations. Her method, cleverly centered around the acronym BREATHE, is comprised of seven steps: breathe, relax, energize, articulate, tone, humanize, engage.      Dividing the book into three parts (“Preparation,” “Presence,” and “Performance”), Smith devotes a chapter to each of the seven steps. She explores every step in considerable detail, including the benefits of each, helpful diagrams where they are appropriate, examples from her work with voice clients, and most importantly, specific step-by-step exercises.      It should be pointed out that this is not a book that will help one improve the content of a presentation. ​Our clients have to speak, present, or lead about their ideas or products in front of a live group or over online formats, such as: webinars, podcasts, radio, videos, or teleconferences.... So, as Voice Specialists in Speech, Drama, Radio, and Presentation we are here to help you take the next step so you can be at your top performance level. Let us help you speak confidently and clearly through friendly coaching sessions to get you on track quickly and easily.
