Some testimonials from former students
"I would like to say thank you for the fantastic workshop
on personal presence and the power of voice and communication.
The Fellows absolutely loved the course and have mentioned
that it is among the most useful workshops they have ever
attended."
The World Economic Forum
"Thought
it was excellent, trainer was really engaging and I would
love to do more.
"Found the training very useful (and entertaining!);
we picked up some really useful tips on how to prepare for
public speaking engagments. Would recommend it to others."
"I thought the voice training was really useful. It
was good to watch everyone else and learn from their training
also. It was fun and interesting to learn new techniques."
" I thought the training was extremely useful and very
different from previous speaker training courses I’ve
done.If there was follow-up training, I’d definitely
be interested.."
comments from the participants
on a speaker training course for the Executive of BLISS
CHARITY bliss.org.uk
"I
always dreamed of speaking English without an accent, or
almost without one. I met Morwenna thanks to an advert in
a newspaper and in several months my dream became reality.
Despite my age (I am retired), and thanks to her precise,
methodical teaching, I have been able to achieve a great
mastery of my vocal apparatus and to overcome the major
difficulties in the pronunciation of English.
My English friends found it a
pity I had lost my French accent, so sexy! I didn’t listen
to them and I am delighted. My correct pronunciation and
the quality of my accent are my greatest reward. The fundamentals
that Morwenna was able to give me are inestimable and have
left a permanent effect. I have recently started studying
Polish for family reasons and here too the mastery of phonetics
Morwenna gave me has enormously facilitated my learning,
to the astonishment of my Polish teacher."

Former Managing Director Pharmaceutical Company
"Our
training together exceeded my expectations. I had a very
soft voice and hard Asian accent, your voice training exercises,
including but not limited to tongue and jaw exercises, breathing
exercises etc. did the job done. I am so thankful to you
that you showed a huge amount of patience and paid attention
to every single word I said.
The biggest benefit is that I don’t have to repeat things
to my listeners. About 95% they understand me clearly; very
rarely I have to repeat things. And I don’t think that it’s
the accent any more, I think it’s the language itself.
You pay attention to every single detail, also you work
very closely and give full attention to your students. I
would say 5 out of 5!"

Senior IT Consultant
"The
class exceeded my expectation. I was at first hesitant to
the idea of one to one voice training, I thought that the
audio CDs sold in shops would be just as good. But I soon
realized how mistaken I was. The ready-made CDs do not give
the key underlying information needed to pick up the accent
which I got from Morwenna. She was able to pick up the mistakes
from any accent due to her extensive knowledge on languages.
I wanted an accent that is almost
as good as BBC newscasters, which was of course a long shot
at the time. However now people tell me I have a nice BBC
voice! am over the moon! The experience was excellent, a
perfect 10!"
