Qualifications and who I help as a Spoken Voice Coach

I’m Ania Ferańska-Iqbal and I am a qualified Spoken Voice Coach.

I help hard-working professionals become Voice Ready at Work™ and Voice Ready in Business™.

If you use your spoken voice in your every day job to communicate ideas, provide solutions to your clients or customers, you’re a professional voice user!

I have trained to be a Spoken Voice Coach at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (known as ‘Central’) in London, UK.

During my voice coaching training, I became fascinated by how breath impacts our voice and also how it relates to the feeling of being nervous.

I wanted to explore what the fight or flight means in the context of voice so I undertook further study and qualified as a HeartMath Coach to offer you self-regulation techniques as part of the spoken voice coaching.

My aim is to get you closer to being Voice Ready at Work™and in Business™so that you can make those important contributions at work and be recognised for it.

Prior to completing MA Voice Studies: Teaching and Coaching at Central, I had worked across various sectors including academia, finance, transport and most recently as an independent IT Consultant (Dynamics 365 CE & Power Platform).

My professional experience across various industries mean that I absolutely understand the challenges of using my voice at work to contribute ideas and offer alternative points of view.

What is Spoken Voice Coaching and what can I help you with as a Spoken Voice Coach?

As a Spoken Voice Coach, my aim is to help you make the most of the potential of your voice at work and in business.

- Are you hard-working, know your area of expertise but still feel nervous when speaking up in meetings or at work in general? (I have felt this way)

- Have you ever been in a meeting where you knew what to say but could feel your heart pounding and your voice shaking when communicating your ideas? (I have also felt this way)

- Do you feel that you are not using the full range of your voice?

- Do you already feel confident but your job puts high demands on your voice and you need to sustain your voice?

If you want to be Voice Ready at Work™ or Voice Ready in Business™, we can work together to help you get closer towards your work related and professional goals.

We can work on training your voice to develop its expressivity, work on physical stress response when speaking, prepare a vocal warm-up to get your voice ready for demands of your job and help you be more voice visible and audible during those moments of interactions at work that matter for recognising your hard-work and input.

Depending on your preference, we can work together on one-to-one basis or you can join the next cohort of like-minded professionals in my six-weeks online ‘live’ group coaching. Looking forward to meeting you on your unique voice journey.
