Scared stiff to speak in public? Voice coach has the fix for your fear factor! The number one fear in America isn’t terrorism, or even death. According to The People’s Almanac, what petrifies Americans most is speaking in public, clinically known as glossophobia. If you’re among the fearful, Renee Grant-Williams, a leading voice coach and authority on communication, can help with her Barnes & Noble University online course Stand and Deliver: Speaking with Confidence. The course begins on September 8th, and is designed to improve a speaker’s comfort level whether they’re trying to make an effective sales pitch, deliver an award-winning speech, run better business meetings, or simply give a toast at their best friend’s wedding. “You will choose a familiar subject and take it through all the steps required to create, prepare, and deliver an eloquent and powerful speech,” Says Grant-Williams. “It’s fun, interactive, and the principles you will learn will help you become more confident and persuasive whenever you speak, in any situation.” The four-week course is available at www.BarnesandNoble.com, and is structured to work in conjunction with Grant-Williams’ book VOICE POWER: Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade, and Command Attention (AMACOM Books, NY). VOICE POWER has been endorsed by Paul Harvey and was chosen by Soundview Executive Book Summaries as one of the thirty best business books of 2002. Tuition for the course is $49.95. Renee Grant-Williams is a well-known voice coach whose clients include senators, attorneys, salespeople, and celebrities like Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Travis and Christina Aguilera. She maintains, “Although you and Madonna may have very different venues and target audiences, both of you must engage and entertain the audience if you want to win them over.” A graduate of and former instructor at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as well as former Director of the Division of Vocal Music at the University of California, Berkeley, Grant-Williams is currently an active member of the National Speakers Association, presenting communication programs to business organizations. She has written for or been quoted by Cosmopolitan, AP, Business Week, UPI, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and The San Francisco Chronicle, and has appeared on numerous television and radio outlets including CBS, NBC, Fox, Bravo, Bloomberg, MTV, NPR, and Voice of America.
