What my clients have to say

Brad Burton, 4Networking
Have to say absolutely stunning.  That was the first 4Sight I did today with no notes & easily the best one I've ever done.  The pausing, the pace, everything about it.  Dragon’s Den audition tomorrow so fingers crossed that will go well too.  Brilliant, Priscilla, absolutely brilliant.  Well done you!

Nicola Turner, B'spoke HR Ltd 
Priscilla is a joy to watch and listen to.  Her passion for refining the spoken word is infectious and I would recommend highly both Voice Matters and Dynamic Speaking.  I came away with valuable exercises to protect and develop the voice, and valued greatly the feedback from Priscilla and other delegates.  Public speaking and communicating in general are an art that can be learned and refined with expert help.  Money well spent!  

Miss D. Ebbrell, Parkinson's Society, Coventry
Thank you very much indeed for your recent visit to talk to us again at Coventry Branch.  Our members thoroughly enjoy your talks and the instruction you give to them to assist with their breathing problems.  The lady you saw seperately was particularly pleased. 

Sylvie Summer, Humanist celebrant
I’ve recently trained as a Humanist celebrant and I conduct non-religious yet meaningful funerals, baby namings and weddings. Although I’d given public presentations in my previous career, Priscilla’s help has enabled me to improve my public speaking voice for ceremonies which may take place outdoors or in a crowded venue. She has given me useful techniques to project and increase the range of my voice.

Neil Robbie  BSc(Hons) MBA MIET, R M Adjusting Ltd, Manchester
Many thanks for coming to see us last week - the feedback was extremely positive.  Although people were a bit unsure beforehand, all really enjoyed the day and felt that they gained useful tools with which to project their voice and speak more clearly.  Understanding how the voice works has certainly helped my communication with others.  Doing the exercises in the car is fun and I have not had any funny looks yet!

Other comments included:
‘Very informative, easy to understand and lots of interesting information!’

‘I found yesterday thoroughly enjoyable.  It certainly gave me food for thought and made me realise how much I don’t look after my voice !!’

‘Have already started putting things into practice, ie sitting up straight when on the phone at work and trying to smile when I speak’ J

‘Just a quick line to mention my surprise in relation to the training on Tuesday.  I was not looking forward to it at all. My concerns were unwarranted.  Whilst I may be an ‘old dog’ I feel I have on this occasion learnt some new tricks.’

Petra Darnell, Pertemps Birmingham
Thank you for a fantastic 'Tastee' of your skills.  everyone enjoyed your seminar.

Revd. Michael Rusk - team rector, St. Peter's, Oadby, Leics.
Loud & Clear gave an excellent voice and pronunciation training programme to a new minister, the Revd. Paskal Clement in autumn 2008.  Paskal had originally learnt his English from Belgian missionaries in Lahore, Pakistan.  For him to have an effective public ministry in Leicester, attention needed to be given to his English.  This was admirably undertaken by Priscilla Morris and after 5 sessions with Loud & Clear, my colleague improved dramatically.  Now he is confident and articulate and continues to use the vocal exercises that were suggested to him.  Congregations and audiences can hear what he has to say more easily.  I recommend Loud & Clear for anyone who needs help with public speaking in English.

Mark Scarrett, Sturgess Hutchinson Accountants
“A very enjoyable course, really nicely presented.  Will definitely help with any public speaking I may have”

Gemma Cole, Mander Cruickshank Solicitors
“A very useful course with plenty of tips that I can use as an advocate in court - voice projection and control of my voice will also assist with confidence when speaking to large groups”

 

Jaqui Crooks, Beacon Training
“So much useful information.  Just the breathing exercise made it worthwhile.  The difference it made in my voice volume was amazing”

 

Paul Lees, Legends International
“Walking through the basic steps allows and offers a grounded understanding that anyone can apply to their own industry.  It’s a fantastic start for me”

 

Sanjay Rajput, 360 Red Productions Ltd
“Very interactive, easy to understand with highly effective communication methods”

 

Theresa Thornton, Clearskies Consultancy
“I really enjoyed the day, a great balance of learning and practicing”

 

Ruth Ingram, Ruth Ingram Ltd
"Priscilla Morris combines professionalism and approachability in such a way that one immediately has confidence in her ability to assist. Her knowledge is extensive and practical and she demonstrates at every level the benefits of following her methods."

 

Rudolph Durham, St James Place Partnership
"Priscilla’s wonderfully supportive and constructive approach to voice coaching has helped me to feel comfortable in all kinds of situations. Although I was already used to giving presentations, her help with diction and breathing techniques have given me the further edge I needed in presenting at all levels. I now have greater confidence and my speaking is more professional, more polished, and more consistent every time."

 

Andrew Knight, Business Networking Clubs
Priscilla has been helping me with my vocal presentation for several weeks and I have to say, not only is she extremely good at what she does, but the sessions are extremely good fun too. We have a great time! Even if the only presenting you do is 60 seconds at a breakfast meeting, I'm sure you will see great improvements and maybe more referrals after just a session or two with Priscilla.

 

John Fox, Bevan Fox insurance Brokers
I used Priscilla's services for voice coaching quite a few years ago. If you are nervous about speaking to a meeting of 6, 60 or 600 give Priscilla a call now - it will be the most "profitable" call you will ever make!

 

Gordon Diffey, WSI Internet Marketing
If you have any concerns or needs regarding public speaking or getting the best from your voice, then Loud and Clear is for you. Besides her great professional ability and experience, Priscilla will help you improve even if you are an expert speaker. Besides being great fun - I can honestly say that Priscilla is one of those professionals who "really does what it says on the tin".

 

Paul Lees, Legends International Ltd
I recently had the pleasure of attending one of Priscilla's voice coaching workshops.  My experience was that this course is nothing short of the perfect introduction to public speaking.  It is an affordable way to learn important techniques which I can now use on a daily basis.  Great job!

 

 

Richard S Mitchell, C&V Data Management Services ltd
I have had only a few sessions with Priscilla but my speaking abilities and confidence are growing daily. Understanding the power of the voice, tone, pitch, power and a host of other techniques makes all the difference.  Her careful approach to my needs as a business man is taken into account and I am looking forward to working further with her over the coming months.  The feedback from my presentations has changed from “they were ok” to "they are great, fantastic, fun” and I have gained more business as a consequence

Rachel Davies, Peak Performance Training
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole afternoon. Interesting, participative and fun.  All the key ingredients of outstanding and memorable training.

 

Adrian Scott, Keydec
Tuition has been a pleasant experience owing to the professionalism of Priscilla and her extensive knowledge. She has helped me with pronunciation, timing, breathing, presentation and improved my confidence.

 

Monica Irvine ‘Coaching for Coaches’, Reading
Very many thanks for the excellent seminar. We found it informative and very enjoyable. It will be very beneficial when coaching. I recommend your seminars for all sports coaching.

 

Reuters and Extranet product manager, BT Ipswich
The training was one of the most useful training sessions I have done this year.  It has really changed how I think about approaching presentations.  I now realise I need to think about how I use my voice to make the content authoritative, lively and entertaining.

 

Mandy Edwards, Sell Division
The course was very useful, informative, and relevant. Of particular use to me were the breathing and projection exercises which have considerably increased the power in my voice without any extra effort. I no longer have to shout to be heard - a revelation!

 

Linda Jones, ASA Awarding Body
I would like to thank you very much for your contribution at the recent Southern Water ‘Learn to Swim’ conference. There was not a single negative comment on any of the 101 forms returned regarding your presentation and there is no doubt that your involvement went a long way to making it a really good day.

 

Kerry Amos, Learning Centre Manager
After a very long day at work I wasn’t too sure how long I would be able to concentrate during the Voice Matters session that Priscilla delivered to the Women in Management Network. To my surprise the content was captivating and Priscilla was charismatic in her delivery – truly practicing what she preaches! I could instantly see how the trainers within our company would benefit from the exercises on clarity and range, to ensure that they hold the interest of their audience. It was fascinating to learn how the voice works and more importantly, how to protect it. It made me realise how much we take our voices for granted. A real thought provoking session!

 

Anna Whaley
I originally come from Poland. I was getting rather frustrated and went to Priscilla to make my speech more understandable. She has managed to inject confidence into my speech and myself as I discovered new courage to converse with greater ease. I am extremely grateful to Priscilla for her patience and perseverance and that she expressed such infectious enthusiasm in her work.

 

Mandy Edwards, Sell Division (After a workshop for ING, Nottingham)
One of the delegates is still raving about it as it has helped her so much. She now feels much more confident and is gaining fabulous feedback on her speaking engagements. I think you can assume you were an unqualified hit! Everyone seemed to get so much out of it and all in different ways.

 

Lisa Rodmel, local government engineer
Hi Priscilla, thought I would drop you an email to thank you for your help. I was offered the job of energy engineer which I have accepted and hopefully will help me submit for the post of team leader at a later date. I am over the moon.

 

Helen Pinnock, Wellbeing Clinic, Notts
This morning I gave a motivational talk to 40 women and put all your suggestions into use and it was amazing, I spoke a lot slower, drank plenty of water, and breathed correctly.  The result was that I got a fantastic response and everyone said how much they had enjoyed it and how clear I was.

 

Elaine Styles, head of HR, George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton
I am now more self confident and find I sound clearer and think about the words I am saying. Going to Priscilla has improved my job prospects and I shall not hesitate to recommend this training.

 

Martin Hall, Capital One, Europe
Through Priscilla’s patient and thoughtful approach I have been able to transform the way I express myself. What you have done for me is nothing short of phenomenal. You have enabled me to alter my speech, its character retained, but its clarity, and purpose enhanced beyond any of my expectations - I have recently been promoted and your training is, no doubt, an important factor in gaining my position.

 

Phil Atherton, Precept Mentoring Group
A tremendous insight into methods of improving my vocal communication.


Alex Cosgrave, Forever Living Products
I have attended some coaching sessions on a one to one basis with Priscilla. I had always regarded myself as a naturally quietly spoken person, so I was surprised how I could project my voice, just like others, by technique, exercises, and Priscilla's confidence in my ability.

She can also help with voice protection, which can be very helpful if you are making lots of phone calls, or are attending networking events with speed networking or those events where you need to talk to people day long.

I would highly recommend Priscilla to anyone.

 

Lesley Suggett, Head teacher
The Voice Care sessions led by Priscilla have made a profound and lasting difference to our school.  She uses a variety of presentation techniques to make the most hesitant participant feel comfortable and her confidence and thorough knowledge of he subject maintains enthusiasm throughout.  We would recommend Priscilla wholeheartedly.  She is lively, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable but most of all her sessions are effective.

 

Brad Burton, 4Networking Ltd
Priscilla is the voice of the stars! Well ok, if you consider me a star.
One 90minute session helped immensely, massive gains. Looking forward to next 1-1 session. I'll be sounding like a Radio 4 presenter before you know it.
Oh no I won't. What Priscilla recognises is that someone like me needs to retain that rawness, so we've worked on making moderate tweaks here and there to keep the energy and pace in tact, whilst making my speech easier for the audience to follow.

Rob Turner, IT Services Support Ltd.

Today has been an enjoyable training session.  It has surprised me how much of a tool the voice actually is.  The important purpose of each vocal and breathing exercise was explained clearly.  

Many thanks.
 

Ayse Brooks, George House - ASDA

I think this is a skill that is very important but not stressed in training enough.

Colin Snaith, CJ Estate Planning Services

Excellent presentation & seminar.  I will recommend you to other business colleagues. 

 

Gillian Hunter, Ardman
Very useful practical learning delivered with passion.

Rosjke Hasseldine, Women's Power Circles
This course was extremely useful.  It answered all my questions on voice and taught me a great deal.

Dan Michinson, Loughborough University Centre for Sport
This was a very interesting course.  Priscilla showed how basic changes to the way I speak can make a huge difference.
Thank you very much.

Rob McVey, Joinery Services
Having attended one of Priscilla's workshops I can thoroughly recommend them. Never once did my attention wander, her delivery is so entertaining and informative. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Also Pricilla worked on a one-to-one basis with a colleague of mine who was about to embark on several public speaking engagements for the first time, and she did wonders for his confidence and presentations.

Rob Abell MIPW, Will Planning Solutions Ltd
Priscilla is an instant motivator! She brings you to life with new passion and drive. I attended one of her Voice Matters workshops recently and found it very useful on a practical level. We all took away our own individual successes and had considerable fun at the same time. She cuts the mustard and is highly recommended.

Shiv Pal, Insurety plc/Capital Health Care
I have a had the opportunity of having some excellent coaching from Priscilla, I found Priscilla's approach very relaxed yet she gets you fully involved with practical and knowledge based interaction and you leave taking instant results with you. I would strongly recommend you see Priscilla even if you think you have good presentation skills as Pricilla will help you turn it up a gear!

Luke Mulligan, Shire Chartered Accountants
If you are involved in any client contact whatsoever I would absolutely recommend that you see Priscilla to improve your presentation and general communication skills.

Geoff Waters, The Best of Hinckley
I had the good fortune to be able to attend Priscilla’s ‘Voice Matters’ course at the Marriott Hotel and it was excellent! Would recommend anyone in business to find time to take the day out to attend. Priscilla makes it all so simple to follow and you can really see the common sense in the advice and guidance that she gives on the day. Thank you Priscilla for a day well spent and valuable lessons learnt, it is now just a matter of trying to put it all into practice.

Sonia Harris, Project Manager (London)
I thought you might like to now how my presentation went today.  I took your advice and used a few PowerPoint slides to show my research statistics.  I practised the presentation so I could focus on my delivery.  I focused on breathing and feeling grounded.  I drank lots of water from the night before.  I was given positive feedback about my resentation.  The Chief Officer for my organisation made a point of saying that my presentation was really clear.

So thank you......I would like to use your services again.

Nicole Jordan, Librarian, Library Services in Education, Leics.
I just wanted to say thank you for the two sessions on voice protection and projection.  With my job as a librarian going into schools and book talking, the techniques I've learnt will help my voice not to end up so tired at the end of a session.  The projection breathing techniques will also help when I need to send my voice that bit further across the room!  Thanks again.  Nicole.

Pauline Bijou, Associate Partner of St James Place Partnership
I must first of all congratulate you on being a fabulous guest speaker at the Women's Networking Club on Friday.  It's a pity so few of us were there to appreciate you, but those who were felt as I did, you were truly superb.

Amanda T. Matthews, The Good Sitting Company Ltd.
I would like to send a BIG THANK YOU for the fun I had on Friday (20th March) at the Erewash Partnership Voice Coaching session you did.
I will be honest with you, I didn't expect to gain much from what you had to offer.  But I came away having learnt so much.  And made new friends along the way.
So thanking you again.

Excellent content, very well presented

Peter Spalton, AKA The Dating Doctor
I just want to thank you for showing me how to project my voice better. As you know I often speak in difficult places like pubs and bars, and with your help my voice doesn't now get so strained and I can compete with noise from the London streets on hot evenings.
