"A
lot of question answered within the first few lectures. This is
amazing". Peter

“Only
had to watch the promo and a few previews and I was sold on this
course. And after taking it, I now know why. Roma goes over not only
how to speak clearly, but how to speak engagingly as well. She
explains how to speak so that your voice is easy to listen to...The
course itself is short, well structured, easy to follow, and oh so
easy to listen to. Thanks Roma!" Thomas

"Very useful course - well presented with loads of useful info. I think Roma just about covers the voice from every angle."

"I'm not an instructor but am starting a podcast. I'd found myself a bit hesitant, partially because of a lack of confidence in my voice. The exercises in Roma's course have been very useful in not only improving my vocal quality, but giving me more confidence to actually launch my next project. Definitely recommended."

I co-host a podcast and am one of those people who cringe when they hear themselves! I don't know if I'll ever enjoy the sound of my own voice, but I feel like I now have some great tools in my arsenal to make the most of what I've got! Thank you :)

Roma's course was good and had some useful tips, but I often found it too brief and rushed. However, the tips, especially the exercises, are great and I would recommend it to for someone who wants to do it to get better at teaching online/presenting remotely.

I thought the content was good as far as it went. As someone who has trouble producing both "Bwww" and "Brrr", it was a little frustrating to me not to have any help or pointers for how to do it or on what the purpose/effect of doing it was. (Indicating that if you can't do it you shouldn't worry about it is confusing, since if it doesn't really matter than why do it even if you can?)

Roma is definitely a lovely person who loves what she is doing and teaching, and it was a pleasure to watch her videos... Yet, I couldn't help but think that none of her advices would be useful to me. I really felt like she just has that gift, being able to speak with a loud voice, but doesn't really know how to help someone not gifted to get it. Maybe someone with a loud voice but with bad habits will benefit from this course. That person would learn how to remove those bad habits, and get some advices. But for someone like me who has a very small voice from the start, a voice that doesn't echo at all, it really felt uncomplete. To be more concrete, I think some valuable information was mentioned, like how important it is to breath properly. But once it comes to learn about breathing, you just get a 2 minutes video with no real advice except "use you diaphragm", something you can basically read anywhere on the internet. No exercise or anything to teach you how to breath properly. Roma assumes you know how to do. But I don't. I know what I need to do, I just don't know how to do it. I think this is our biggest issue here. If you want actual exercises on how to resolve all your vocal issues, this isn't the right place. However, if you are already able to speak with a loud voice but are just not used to it and need some reminders as for what has an impact on it, or if you want to get some motivation from a course that is really full of energy, then maybe you've found the right course.
