AR, academic presentation, Nov 23
“I cannot recommend Ben more strongly. While I am generally comfortable with public speaking, this was a special occasion. I was very anxious that the speech would be flat, uninspiring, too dry, too repetitive. Ben was truly outstanding.

SL, academic speech, Sep 23
“We did it! The Ted talk was a complete success! I was able to channel my magic and deliver the performance I’ve always dreamed of.

Thanks so much guys, just knowing it had been worked on by professionals gave me the confidence to deliver it with style. Thanks again – no doubt we’ll work together again in the future!”
Ben D, November 2014

Patrick S, October 2014
“Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for all your support and assistance. Without it, it would have been a disaster! After
a few laughs I settled down and the speech seemed to go down well. I will definitely be in touch for any other speeches I need to do and will of course recommend you to others. Thanks again!”

From being a story teller not a speech giver; to looking forward to it, enjoying it and being excited rather than nervous about it; from the way to emphasise and contrast certain words and extend vowels; to the physical breathing and warming up exercises. Thank you for giving me the confidence and ability to do so.”
