WITH DARREN MCSTAY

ESTABLISHED VOICE AND PERFORMANCE COACH, WITH OVER 30 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE


A practical, in-person workshop for professionals who work in English and want to speak with more clarity, confidence, and impact.

Most communication training focuses on surface-level tips. Speak louder. Slow down. Add a pause. Use your hands differently. These ideas rarely hold under pressure and often leave you juggling techniques in your head while trying to navigate what actually matters: your message.

By unlocking the blocks that disable our most valuable asset, the voice, this workshop reduces cognitive load and frees the speaker to remain present, engaged, and genuinely engaging.

Using the voice as our entry point, we’ll work to align our inner monologue with our outer story so the voice no longer becomes a bottleneck in verbal expression.

This workshop is practical, grounded, and experiential.

Be prepared to move, speak, and embody the work.

We’ll work on:

  • Speaking with more authority without forcing it

  • Reducing tension and nerves when speaking English

  • Sounding clearer, steadier, and more confident

  • Presence, grounding, and vocal consistency

  • Avoiding the patterns that lead to being underestimated when you speak
