David is simply the best coach ever!
I tried many speeches and public speaking lessons offered via Craigslist and Yelp, but David is the only one I retained!
David is a radio host - you can tell from his magnetic voice! I listen to many audiobooks, and am very picky about the narrators - and David's voice ranks in the top three on my list!
I was very conscious of my Chinese accent (people DO judge others by their accents!), and because of that, I always rush to finish my sentences. People also often ask me to repeat myself which I feel had adversely impacted my professional career.
David started me off from script reading training. I recorded my sessions at first, and I could hear the difference clearly, and review what David taught me how to reduce my accent and speak properly in American English. I practice many times a week and record my own voice with what David taught me.
Now, a year of lessons with David have worked for me like magic!
Last time I had an interview with a prospective employer, he complimented me that I speak like a native speaker! While I still do script reading exercises, I am also learning public speaking and storytelling skills with David.
I believe no investment is worth more than investing in how to present yourself and communicate with others. Not only will you build confidence, you will also gain respect! And you will also sound a 1,000 times more persuasive!
David's professional knowledge and experience are reflected in his way of teaching. It is the best investment I made!
