TESTIMONIALS
Melody Owen

“I really love working with Danielle. She's intelligent. She has amazing ideas. She's really well educated, she's fun, she's funny. But what's really special is she takes what I already have and she brings it out even more.
This particular weekend, the ‘Advanced Present-ations’ workshop, was about bringing some of my own work, one of my own talks, and improving it.
And, you know, I can write a talk. I can put together the powerpoint. But then I get here and she puts breath into it. I start breathing while I'm talking and then that brings my personality out and it brings life into the presentation. Plus, I bring in the bare bones, but then I get to play!
We talked about storytelling this weekend, which was so much fun. And then I put a story in my presentation that really landed with the audience and I thought ‘Wow that's really great, that really works.’ So I got to play and see what worked and what didn't. 
But I think the most important thing that Danielle did for me this weekend is once again I learned to breathe as I was standing up talking to people. And also to bring myself out, not just give the information over, but really connect with the audience, really talk to people and really create something that both I feel good about and my audience feels good about. And that feels amazing. Thanks, Danielle.”
​“This class stirred something within me, and has helped me recognize my desire to seek further voice study. Danielle is a gifted performer and teacher, and possesses a sincere desire to help her students discover themselves through voice.”

​“Hi my name is Fred Chapman and I wanted to say a little bit about working with Danielle. For me it's all about authenticity. It's one thing to really feel authentic, but when you're in front of a camera (like this) or on a stage, it's really difficult to tap into that real sense of authenticity and to get the message across the way that you want.
I've struggled with this for a long time, and it's only since I've started working with Danielle that things have really started falling into place. So
I really recommend if you work on video or on a stage, any time that you're interacting with an audience, if you really want to feel authentic in that situation and get your message across in a really authentic way then I've never met anyone better for finding this way to tap into it than Danielle.”
“Danielle’s workshop is the best investment I have made this year. It is fun, informative and practical. Danielle has a unique talent for recognizing the cause blocking our natural voice in each individual. It is a fun journey not only to discover my true voice but my true self. She helped me to connect with my feelings and explore the potential of a deeper vocal resonation – which I always wanted! As an unexpected result, I feel more courageous to be free and real as a person after the class. I learnt some very useful techniques which I will utilize in my personal and work life. Thank you Danielle for being such a wonderful teacher and guide! I truly enjoyed your sense of humour and your positive energy in the class. I cannot wait to start my individual sessions with you.”

“Hello my name is Krys Pappius. I am a coach and it is a real pleasure for me to give a shout-out to Danielle Benzon.
This is the second three-day workshop that I'm doing with her. It really was an eye opener to learn that our voice is actually a tool. It's a tool of the trade. Public speaking is part of my business plan and I thought it was a question of just checking my nerves and just getting up there and just giving my message. It  never would have occurred to me to think that this is a tool that I need to learn how to use properly so that my audience can actually get the message that I want to impart.
Working with Danielle is a heck of a lot of fun. Danielle is very funny and at the same time Danielle is a real professional. She knows her stuff and she knows how to get that best something out of you, that something special that you have to offer.
Again, it's a real pleasure to give a shout-out and I honestly think that anyone who wants to do public speaking as part of their business plan would absolutely benefit from working with Danielle. It's a world that none of us really have stopped to think about. It's a mystery! And it's a lot of fun. I really can't give her enough of a shout-out and would encourage anybody who wants to do any kind public speaking and feel comfortable giving their message to people around them to work with Danielle. You're going to have a good time.”

“When I attended Danielle's intro evening I knew that public speaking needed to be a part of my new career but I didn't know who to work with or how to work with them or where to go. When I did go to her intro seminar I knew Danielle was the one for me. I signed up for her course without hesitation.
I'm absolutely happy that I did because I just went through ‘Ignite Your Confidence’ and I really like that fact that Danielle has decades of technical experience with all the tactical aspects of speaking and acting.
There's a removing of the fakeness that I see in other groups and teachers. There's an authenticity to her process that is bringing out more of me in my speaking. Thank you Danielle, and I highly recommend anybody to take the course.”

“I have to say that my biggest take-away (and you will be very surprised when you hear this) is that you have to breathe when you're speaking! I know that may sound crazy but I'm taking away a number of tools that will teach me how to marry my speech and my breathing. And that will allow me to speak much more genuinely, from a much more grounded place and authentically.
Anyone who wants to learn how to speak in public: come on down and join Danielle for three days.”

and create your dreams!”

“After seven years of singing lessons and ten years of public speaking I thought I had gone as far with my voice as I ever would. Danielle had me using more resonance in my body in the first twenty minutes than I had achieved in the combined seventeen years of previous experience. I was able to go back on stage this year without straining my voice for the first time ever. I should have done this in 2010!”
