Let’s take your public speaking to the next level!
Does this sound familiar to you?
You get up to speak. Your heart immediately begins to race, your voice trembles and your mind goes blank.
As you begin a presentation, you become acutely aware of your body and suddenly have no idea how to stand or what to do with your hands.
You have difficulty keeping your thoughts organized when you lead a discussion.
After speaking all day, your voice is hoarse, and you have difficulty being heard.
You are so focused on giving the perfect presentation that you become riddled with anxiety.
I'm here to tell you:
it doesn't have to be that way.
The Process
I offer three Communication coaching packages: the Vocal Health package, The Art of Engaged Speaking package, and the Presentation Power Prep package. When you sign up for coaching with me, rest assured that you will not get a one-size-fits-all approach. We collaborate to assess your unique needs and tailor the program to meet your goals.
In the Vocal Health Package, we will focus on the foundations for developing and maintaining a present, healthy voice:
-
Feeling comfortable and aware of your body helps you carry yourself confidently and release any tension that might get in the way of your message.
-
Good breath management is the secret to sounding clear, staying calm, and maintaining vocal presence while you speak.
-
The act of making sound. Together, we’ll explore methods for producing sound effectively and placing our voice to maintain vocal health while ensuring you can be heard.
-
Clear speech is key to being understood. We’ll refine how you use your lips, tongue, and jaw to make your words come through clearly.
In The Art of Engaged Speaking and Presentation Power Prep packages, we address the foundations of vocal health, but our goals shift towards creating a connection with both the message and the audience. We'll focus on:
-
Inflection is about how you say what you say. The way you deliver your message is just as important as the words you choose!
-
Knowing the purpose behind your message will make you a more effective communicator.
-
Understanding who you’re speaking to helps you connect, meet their expectations, and leave a lasting impression.
I've designed each package to help you feel confident and prepared to share your voice while providing you lifelong skills to maintain your vocal health and presence. Let's work together to make you the most impactful speaker you can be!

Got questions?
-
This is a great question and an important one! As a coach, I am a facilitator, meaning that we engage in a collaborative process when we work together. Your active involvement is key as we focus on one or a few specific goals and work together to find solutions. I am not a diagnostician, meaning I cannot diagnose mental illness or disorders, nor am I qualified to treat them.
Unlike therapy, which is often longer-term or open-ended, coaching is a practical approach that focuses on shorter-term timeframes. It's designed to help you crush a specific goal, such as building the confidence to make a big decision or change, develop your public speaking skills, or move past a hurdle that makes you feel stuck.

Our coaching sessions are designed for your unique needs, ensuring you receive personalized support. Here’s what you can generally expect
About 24 hours before your session, you’ll receive an agenda. I encourage you to the agenda so you may share any feedback or suggest specific action items you'd like to add or remove. At the start of the session, we'll spend the first 10-15 minutes reflecting on the strategies from our previous meeting and discussing how they’ve been implemented. We’ll then address any questions that may have arisen between sessions and work on exercises designed to help you meet your goals.
In the last 10 minutes of the session, we will set actionable goals for our next session and create a clear plan to achieve them together.
Within 24 hours after our meeting, I will provide you with a comprehensive summary of our discussion and a reminder of the action plan we've put in place. This will help ensure you feel organized and clear about your next steps as we continue our work together.
Our support doesn't end when the session does. You can email me anytime, and I will respond within one business day. Plus, you will have limited text message access Monday through Friday, providing you with the support you need between sessions.

Hey There!
I’m Shannon.
With decades of experience as a performer, teaching artist, and educator, I’ve honed my skills in using my voice effectively and teaching others to do the same. As a professional singer, I’ve explored various genres, from opera to dream pop to alt-country. I’ve presented at national and regional conferences, guided many in giving engaging presentations, and run vocal health workshops for actors and other professionals. My expertise as an audio designer and sound engineer has allowed me to coach hundreds of people, both actors and non-actors, on microphone technique in live and recording situations.
But my mission goes beyond just technique; it’s about transforming you into a confident and compelling public speaker! Public speaking is not merely a skill but a performance art; together, we’ll tap into that energy. Our sessions will dive into the essentials: nurturing your vocal health, preparing your body and mind, mastering articulation and inflection, and—perhaps most importantly—truly understanding your audience. Tailoring your presentation to meet their needs will exceed their expectations and create a memorable experience for everyone involved. Let’s embark on this journey together and make your voice resonate!
