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.."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"
