  • Have no Fear, your Voice Coach is here!

    Hello! Well, I've always been a talker! And now I teach business people how to use their every day speaking voice to their professional advantage.

    Do you use your speaking voice on a daily basis in your business? Of course you do. Do you think the sound of your voice has a direct impact on the success of your business? Absolutely!

    My name is Lauren Bishop and I'm a voice consultant, speaker, trainer, master of ceremonies based in Portland, Oregon, but I'll travel near and far.

    If you want to polish your speaking voice, improve your vocal variety and voice quality, learn to breathe and project your voice correctly, use a microphone, manage your fear of speaking, overcome the "um's," stammering and rambling, or create a concise, precise, enticing self introduction or presentation, then let's talk.

    Please check out my profile and stop long enough to say hi. I look forward to speaking with you very soon.

  • Do you SOUND like an expert in your field?

    When you attend business networking events, you plan where you're going and when you have to be there. You plan what you'll wear and what you'll take with you in the way of business cards, brochures and flyers. Hopefully, you'll even get analytical and think about why you're attending.

    But do you take the time to think about "what" you'll say and "how you'll sound" when you speak to people at these events or when you introduce yourself at the events?

    Hmmmmm...thoughts?
