Your voice deserves clear answers.

Welcome to this space dedicated to your questions. Whether you are here to overcome persistent shyness, manage a vocal pathology, or simply optimize your professional impact, you are making the right choice : taking control of your primary communication tool.

I have designed this FAQ to address your concerns and explain concretely how we will, together, unlock your vocal potential. If a question remains after your reading, feel free to contact me directly during our first discovery call.

Questions & Answers

1. How is it different from traditional public speaking coaching ?

1. Is coaching suitable for shy or anxious individuals ?

Absolutely. In fact, most of my clients come to me to overcome these specific challenges. My role as a voice specialist is to provide you with a secure framework where you can explore your vocal potential without judgment. Through targeted exercises on breathing and posture, we work on the physical symptoms of stress : this allow you to regain control over your emotions and your speech.

The goal is to transform your anxiety into a focused energy. By understanding the mechanics of your voice, you gain a tangible “toolbox” that provides confidence in any situation : from internal team meetings to high-stakes executive presentations.

2. Is there a risk of losing my natural personality through training ?

Quite the opposite. The goal of vocal coaching is not to give you a “formatted” voice, but to remove the physical and emotional tensions that mask your true identity. As a voice specialist, my objective is to help you find your “authentic voice” : the one that is naturally resonant and effortless.

Training actually makes you more authentic, not less. By mastering your vocal instrument, you stop “acting” a role and start fully embodying your message. We don’t change who you are : we optimize how you project your presence to ensure your voice is a faithful reflection of your leadership and expertise.

Non, bien au contraire ! C’est la garantie de retrouver votre voix la plus authentique et puissante.
Mon approche ne consiste pas à créer une “voix standard” ou artificielle. L’objectif est de vous reconnecter à votre timbre naturel et d’en libérer tout le potentiel.
Nous travaillons sur l’élargissement de votre palette vocale, pas sur sa transformation.

A well-trained voice becomes :

  • More embodied and natural : you speak with your entire body, not just your vocal cords ;
  • More stable and expressive : you manage stress more effectively and convey your ideas with absolute clarity ;
  • More credible and impactful : your message carries effortlessly across any room or digital space.
  • The result : a voice that is freer and more authentically you. Never artificial.
3. Is your coaching focused only on the voice, or does it include other elements of communication ?

Absolutely. A voice does not exist in a vacuum : it is the result of a complex interaction between your body and your mind. My method integrates every dimension of communication to ensure a complete transformation :

  • Posture and alignment : this is the foundation of your “instrument” : a stable posture allows for better breath support and immediate authority ;
  • Vocal resonance : we work on how your voice vibrates in your body to enrich its texture and increase its natural power without strain ;
  • Prosody and intonation : these are the “melodies” of your speech : mastering them allows you to be more persuasive, to hold your audience’s attention, and to avoid a monotone delivery ;
  • Articulation and diction : to ensure your message is clear and professional in any context, from boardrooms to international conferences.

I support you across all these dimensions. This is what enables a transformation that is consistent, technical, and credible. And it works !

2. Can you help with vocal fatigue or specific voice disorders ?

1. Is my vocal fatigue a medical or a technical issue ?

Both medical and technical factors exist. In the majority of cases, fatigue primarily stems from :

  • Poor breath support : a lack of coordination between the breath and the vocal folds ;
  • Tension in the neck : excessive muscular strain that restricts vocal freedom ;
  • Inefficient vocal emission : an imbalance in how the sound is produced and projected.

Targeted technical work rapidly transforms vocal comfort and stamina.

2. When should I see a phoniatrician instead of a voice coach ?

A phoniatrician intervenes as soon as there is a doubt regarding the integrity of the vocal folds : persistent pain, chronic hoarseness, abnormal vocal fatigue, loss of voice, or suspicion of nodules, edema, and polyps. They are medical doctors whose role is to establish a precise diagnosis.

My work begins once the medical ground is cleared : optimizing the use of your instrument, strengthening the muscles involved in phonation, and improving your vocal delivery without ever compromising what has been diagnosed.

We are therefore complementary.

3. How does your approach differ from that of a speech therapist or a healthcare professional ?

My approach operates on a different level : improving vocal and oratory effectiveness, even when dealing with a fragile voice or long-standing difficulties. I support individuals who present genuine vocal challenges, such as chronic fatigue, instability, voice breaks, or loss of power, by working on areas that rehabilitation alone may not always address :

  • Resonance and projection : optimizing how your voice fills a space ;
  • Fine muscular adjustments : refining the internal mechanics for greater ease ;
  • Posture and vocal stress : aligning the body to manage high-pressure situations ;
  • Intention and prosody : giving life and meaning to your spoken words ;
  • Flow stability : ensuring a consistent and professional delivery ;
  • Measurable acoustic parameters : analyzing pitch (F0), intensity, harmonic spectrum, and register breaks.

This support never replaces medical care but complements it advantageously, providing access to a voice that is stable, confident, and high-performing.

3. How do the sessions take place ?

1. Is remote coaching as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes, absolutely. The technical effectiveness is comparable, and video conferencing even offers you a major strategic advantage. Working online allows you to analyze and optimize your impact in the format where the majority of professionals lose credibility : the remote meeting.

Video conferencing allows for ultra-precise work on :

  • Your on-screen posture and body language : ensuring a commanding presence through the lens ;
  • Your voice on the microphone : managing sound quality and breath control for a professional audio delivery ;
  • Framing and energy : optimizing the energy you project in front of the camera ;
  • Meeting dynamics : mastering communication in a digital environment.

The result : you don’t just make technical progress ; you become a master of your online impact, where the competition is often destabilized.

2. What is the typical timeframe for a vocal transformation?

Most clients feel a difference from the very first session : a more fluid breath, a stabilized posture, and more comfortable vocal emission. A visible change for those around you generally occurs between 4 and 8 sessions, depending on :

  • your starting level ;
  • your involvement between sessions ;
  • your capacity for integration.

Sustainable change is built through repetition and progressive adjustments. For more specific needs, please refer to the targeted progress map, which outlines the number of sessions required for long-term progress.

3. What is the added value of the Executive Excellence Program compared to single sessions?


Single sessions : targeted technical adjustments

Single sessions are designed for those who need a specific “tune-up” or immediate technical resolution :

  • Focus on a specific problem : ideal for resolving a one-time issue such as vocal fatigue before a meeting or a specific technical block ;
  • Flexibility : sessions booked one at a time according to your immediate needs and schedule ;
  • Technical mastery : working on specific parameters such as resonance, projection, or breathing mechanics.

While these sessions provide rapid relief and technical insights, they do not include the global strategic support, the 24/7 coaching, or the diagnostic tools integrated into the Executive Excellence Program.

Executive Transformation Program : mastery for leaders driven by excellence

This is a comprehensive full-spectrum performance experience designed to redefine your vocal authority and strategic impact for the long term :

  • Know where you start, and where you arrive : an initial Acoustic Voice Profiling and a 15-page report provide a complete scientific diagnostic of your vocal signature to establish your data-driven starting point ;
  • Have a coach always by your side : priority 24-hour response support ensures you have direct access for urgent questions or feedback, so you are never alone before a high-stakes event ;
  • Understand what works (and what blocks) : thanks to quantifiable progress tracking, your evolution is measured scientifically against objective acoustic criteria (jitter, shimmer, prosody), ensuring your results are visible and concrete ;
  • Advance with precision : 5 private high-stakes coaching sessions focused on fast-tracking your vocal authority and strategic influence through a custom strategic roadmap tailored to your leadership goals ;
  • Knowledge at your fingertips, forever : lifetime access to our e-learning platform provides unlimited access to a dedicated library of digital resources and exercises to sustain your progress indefinitely.

Data-driven performance mastery : every vocal exercise is precisely calibrated to refine your communication profile. Results are not just “felt” : they are visually documented through data and heard through your new, authoritative presence.

4. Is the Starter Pack enough to begin changing my voice and my public speaking?

Yes, absolutely. The Starter Pack is your true launching pad. In just a single session, you obtain a solid and immediately applicable foundation to unlock your potential.

What you unlock immediately :

  • complete technical diagnostic : you know exactly what your strengths are and the priority adjustments for your voice ;
  • exercises and training plan : you leave with a personalized and achievable roadmap starting the very next day ;
  • key adjustments : we correct your first levers (breathing, posture) to instantly gain stability and presence and decrease vocal tension.

It is the ideal solution to :

  • prepare for a specific deadline (speech, interview, meeting) ;
  • measure your potential for vocal transformation.

Have a first concrete experience before considering continuing.

4. Practical information and rates

1. What are the available funding options?

My approach, focused on high-level performance and voice science, follows a different professional framework :
