“... [craft] is the scaffolding to our human creativity. It helps us form and focus our ideas and our emotions. Craft is hard to teach because it is not about explaining, it’s about doing something. It is an artistic and active pursuit, not an academic one. A speaker’s craft has to be so known that you forget it. The audience shouldn’t see your craft but just feel your presence and words. Repetition is critical. It has to be done, and done, and done.”

Training
Voice training is an invaluable investment for those seeking to master the art of effective communication and to ensure the longevity of the most powerful communication tool — their voice. Understanding the intricacies of vocal mechanics empowers speakers and performers to express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically, allowing them to fully engage with their audience. It is not just about projecting sound or even creating a beautiful sound; it’s about cultivating a connection through vocal nuances; combining thought, emotion, and intention in order for us to communicate truthfully and authentically.
