Olive was absolutely amazing. She gave me great public speaking tips. I would highly recommend this course.

Great class
-
This was a fun experience. We learned and had lots of fun.
-
Class was GREAT!!!! I highly recommend it for any introvert who is doubtful about getting into this process. Getting out of your head is vital. After completing this course you will begin to develop a higher vision of yourself. ITS POSSIBLE!

Olive was a great instructor and made the class really fun. I came out feeling like a 10.
-
Olive was a great facilitator. I was very pleased with the workshop and with Olive's personalized feedback on areas of improvement. Public speaking is not my strength but I left the class feeling better about my abilities and with clear tools to improve my stage presence. Thanks, Olive!

Very nice experience. Well structured class and the teacher is full of energy.

The instructor was very informative and knowledgeable. I thought she was going to talk about power poses and some other nonsense. Instead, she has an academic but pragmatic and accessible program that really opened up my ideas of how we present ourselves.
The group exercises were fantastic. They take you out of your comfort zone and help you see your interactions in a different light. The feedback from the class is enlightening and a rare chance to have strangers critique you in a friendly and non-hostile manner.
Keep low expectations, curb your ebarrassment, bring a positive attitude, pay attention to all of her comments and take notes!
It was fun, well-structured, and well-paced. I can’t recommend this class enough if you are looking to take steps to break out of your shell or if you are interested in getting direct feedback on how you come off to people. Would take again!

I would recommend this class to anyone looking to get out of their comfort zone and become a confident speaker. Minna is a down to earth professional, thoughtful, smart and honest. Good for native and nonnative speakers of English. I personally gained practical experience to use my voice at its full potential. Now, I know how to prepare and perform well for public speaking, interviews and daily interactions.
-
The course was well-structured, and the instructor was knowledgeable and personable. Throughout the course, you will be provided with meaningful feedback on ways on how to improve your articulation and diction.

I hadn't expected that, but I actually discovered a lot of new information about the way sounds are pronounced! Fun and entertaining, two hours just flew by.
Thank you, Minna!

I loved it was an amazing experience. Willing to repeat it in December
-
Minna is a great teacher - very knowledgeable, very qualified. Best of all - she made the class fun!
-
Really great energy to the class with Minna and lot's of great skills that are already paying off in my communications. Would absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone looking to more clearly and compellingly and originally articulate their professional goals.
-
I found the breathing exercises and vocal exercises to be very helpful. The portions of the class with those exercises leading up to the actual speaking portion helped to ease into speaking, so I didn't feel as much pressure or felt as anxious as I have been in other public speaking workshops. Great class!
-
This class was excellent and helped so much with my speech and NY accent! The teacher was amazing and gave us all the individual attention necessary in order to ensure that we progressed. Highly recommend this class and any others taught by this instructor!!
-
I enjoyed working through all of the various exercises and the material is presented in a fun and fresh manner. Also, even though it was a group class the instructor took the time to work one on one with each and every one of us. Unlike most classes this class was small enough to still have that personalized feel. Have already improved significantly in my speech from only one class and can't wait to start practicing! Minna was an excellent instructor!!
-
This class was exceptional! It helped me learn about breathing correctly and the basics of speech using vowels and consonants properly. It is a great class for anyone looking to speak clearer or correct accents.
-
Great class. You really have to use muscles that you don't generally use to speak and this can change your accent.
-
Very fun and informative. Opened my eyes to the world of voice.
