A selection of what we hear from clients:

Presentation Coaching
I think of Jay Miller every time I step up to a podium. He taught me to use my body as well as my voice to communicate. His training served me well on the stump during the 2000 Federal Election Campaign and in countless presentations in Canada and Australia ever since. I thought that I was an accomplished presenter. What I learned from Jay was how to be a great presenter.

Voice Training
Working with Jay was a great experience. His coaching addresses more than just voice, but also a relaxed state of mind, an awareness of the surroundings, and a true sense of self. I strongly appreciated his methodical approach and the logical progression of his coaching. The time was well spent and the newly acquired skills are helping me tremendously, both in my work environment and my social life.

I cannot thank Jay enough. Through his one-on-one approach to teaching, his understanding, and skilled knowledge, I was able to gain awareness of how my voice works. I discovered my hidden potential to sound vibrant, energetic and clear without losing my unique vocal quality. I am forever thankful for him.

Accent Reduction
After 20 years in Canada, my British accent remained unshakeable—quite an obstacle to a wide range of US film parts. In a very few hours, Jay's patience, thoroughness, and highly skilled ear tracked down sounds needing attention and helped me overcome my hang-ups about auditioning for US roles. I am very happy to recommend his services to others.

Jay Miller is a concerned, attentive and considerate teacher. He's very good at troubleshooting and works patiently until you get it right. After only five sessions, my friends in Montreal can hear a change! He's always there to help or answer a question by email. Great coach. Hard work. Lots of laughs. Very good herbal tea. And great results!
Y. Daviault

I am amazed at how Jay Miller identified my mispronunciations so quickly and accurately. He caught them all—in the first two lessons. Through the next eight lessons, Jay patiently and painstakingly showed me how to correct them. The drills that Jay suggested really helped, and I continue to practice them today. Like anything in life, if you want to excel you need a good coach. I can now speak with confidence and communicate a lot better, thanks to Jay.
