HOT TAKE from Brontë: The sound of crickets can be beautiful! Embracing silence and allowing those crickets to chirp can help you find ease in your conversation or presentation. While it may feel awkward your first few tries, it's well worth the exploration: Silence allows you to breathe, which provides oxygen to the brain, which helps you gather your thoughts more consciously, which then puts you back in control over your speech. Nothing exudes cool confidence like someone who thinks about their response before they answer ... so let those crickets chirp :)

Albert Mehrabian, a body language researcher, was the first to break down the components of a face-to-face conversation in his book, "Silent Messages." He found that communication is approximately 55% nonverbal, 38% vocal, and only 7% words! That means you’re communicating with a lot more than the words you speak. How interesting is that?

If you're feeling rusty about in-person rapport, you're not the only one. We're here to help!

One of the best ways to acquire a new skill is to learn with others embarking on the same venture!

A live setting with other people introduces the unexpected variables you're likely to confront the “day of.” In these sessions, you'll develop practical skills that benefit you professionally and personally for the rest of your life — and you can do it alongside supportive individuals who are here for exactly the same reason.

You’ve been waiting for this moment. Your manager finally says, "We should grab dinner sometime. I want to hear more about that idea you had and discuss your future." But when you sit down, you realize that without knowing anything about kids, tennis, or this season of Ozark, this is getting awkward fast.

Imagine feeling relaxed and self-assured in these situations. Our coaches can provide tools to speak with ease, charm, and knowledge. We help you navigate the balance of social + work, so you can shine as professional and personable even outside the office!

Our instructors train in part based on personal experiences. Tricia knows firsthand the value of speech coaching, as she went through this process early in her career! Understanding speech work’s significance in her own life, she strives to make sure her clients feel as authentic as possible when they communicate.

Podcasts as a medium continue to explode. If you haven’t been on a podcast this week, you’ve probably at least listened to a few…dozen. (Just us?)

There’s a certain kind of frustration involved in listening to a podcast with terrible audio. A number of people who podcast without a professional setup don’t recognize the artistry of working with a mic!

We coach on how to improve your technique when recording as well as use the full range of your voice. The New York Speech Coaching team will show you how to achieve your best sound!
