I've received only wonderful feedback from the Wall Scholars about the coaching. In particular, the voice exercises, the time to provide feedback to each other, and your kindness and patience. I am especially grateful for your flexibility and how you so thoughtfully take the time to listen and respond to each question.

REALLY helped my process… From learning why/where different sounds came from, to how to produce them… even just affirming things I had already brought to the character. I really value your time – I’m feeling confident… I’m still employing those strategies and finding them useful.

This workshop did not disappoint. Alison provided tools to improve my ability to communicate clearly, tips to allow me to better engage audiences, and exercises to increase my level of confidence as a public speaker. Alison proved to be personable and experienced, ensuring all participants felt heard and supported based on where they were at. It was a worthwhile investment of my time as a busy working professional and I’m grateful for having had this opportunity. I highly recommend this workshop to others!

This was the best leadership day yet … as a group we made progress and as individuals found our voices.
Bring Alison Matthews back every year.
Alison rocks – great day!
Did a great job of getting people out of their comfort zone and keeping the group interested.
This is a must-have for LVI.
