Speak Up & Stand Out:

The Ultimate Masterclass for Vocal Confidence in Podcasting, Pitching, and Presenting

"Thanks to Nic’s vocal expertise and support, I was able to get through a 225 date stand up tour. That’s a lot of talking."

I see you.

Chatting away to your pals no bother, but when it comes to standing up in front of a crowd, you turn into a quivery-voiced, shakey, high-pitched for absolutely no reason mess.

That’s okay. You’re normal! Nerves happen.

But they don’t have to control your voice and how you are perceived by your audience. Problem is…

You have 7 seconds to capture attention—don’t waste them.

That’s less time than it takes to boil the kettle. And in those few seconds, your voice, tone, and delivery decide whether people lean in—or tune out.

Whether you’re podcasting, pitching, or presenting, your voice is your greatest tool for connection, influence, and success. But let’s be honest:

This half-day, live workshop will change that.

This workshop isn’t your usual “speak slowly, use gestures, and smile” nonsense. It’s about learning how to use your voice to tell your story in a way that connects with your audience on an emotional level.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game a while, I’ll show you how to find your unique voice and deliver your message in a way that will leave them wanting more. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to engage your audience, boost your reputation, and watch your revenue grow.

You’ll learn how to:

🎙️Speak with natural authority—so that your audience sees you as the expert you are.

🎙️Hold attention from the first word—so that people stay engaged (and actually remember what you say).

🎙️Use vocal variety to bring your words to life—so that your message doesn’t just land, it moves people to action.

🎙️Find the emotional journey in what you’re saying—so that your voice makes your listener feel something—whether it’s the desire to work with you, buy from you, invest in you, or simply connect.

This isn’t about sounding ‘perfect’—it’s about sounding like you at your absolute best.

Who Is This For?

This workshop is for podcasters, business owners, and speakers who want to captivate their audience and turn words into action.

Maybe you…

host a podcast but struggle to sound engaging and conversational.
are pitching your business but don’t feel confident in how you’re coming across.
have done presentation training before but still get nervous when you speak in public.
already have experience speaking, but you know there’s another level of impact you could reach.

If you tick any of these boxes, you’ll walk away with game-changing skills that make speaking easier, more effective, and more natural.

"If you want to find your voice, get comfortable and confident with it then definitely choose Nic. She’s a true professional that is friendly and helps you with every aspect of your voice."

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of this session, you’ll know how to:

✅Use your voice to command attention and sound like a pro.

✅Deliver your message in a way that moves people to action.

✅Speak with confidence, ease, and personality—every time.

Expect practical, interactive exercises
(no sitting back and taking notes—this is all about doing!).

Why me?

I’m not just someone who talks about speaking—I’m someone who does it, teaches it, and lives it.

As a qualified voice coach with an MA in Voice Studies, I’ve spent years helping people unlock their vocal potential. I’ve worked with everyone from podcasters, entrepreneurs and businesses to global brands like Netflix, Peloton, Mercedes Petronas, and Channel 4.

From stand-up comedy and panel guesting to podcast hosting, public speaking, and pitching, I’ve experienced some of the most nerve-wracking public speaking environments out there myself. So I coach from real-world experience as someone who’s done it—and not just survived, but thrived. (That’s a wee bit cringe, but sure, it’s true.)

You can get a feel for who I am by binging The Voice Coach Podcast, or grabbing a copy of my book On The Mic.

Here’s the thing: I’m not here to throw a load of generic advice at you or teach you to fake confidence. I’ll share practical voice techniques, grounded in science and experience, with a wee bit of personality thrown in.

I’m a qualified coach and a working speaker, so I know how it feels to stand on the stage or behind the mic. Whether it’s battling those feckin’ nerves, figuring out how to get your words across, or wondering if your voice is actually landing with your audience, I’ve been there. And trust me, it’s all fixable—with the right tools.

This workshop is your chance to work with someone who’s done the work, knows the craic, and can help you find your voice, trust it, and use it to make a real impact. Let’s get started!
