My sessions with Naomi Frenkel have resulted in a significant improvement in my diction and pronunciation. Ms.Frenkel is a talented teacher whose experience and creativity allows the student to achieve optimal results without being bored to tears by repetitive exercises. I would recommend her services to anyone who is serious about becoming a more effective public speaker.

I need to be able to use my voice effectively in a wide variety of situations. The Working Voice has helped me be ready for anything. I have learned how to project, how to influence an audience, and how to present material in ways that actually helps the audience learn. As additional benefits, my ratings have risen significantly and I am having more fun.
I have always wanted to be able to sing, but all my life I was told that I could neither carry a tune, nor sing on key. You cannot imagine my joy when I sang "Mary Had a Little Lamb." I now have a repertoire that includes complex and challenging songs by Stephen Sondheim, Amanda McBroom, Melissa Manchester, Cole Porter and Rogers & Hart. Given my previous inability to sing, I feel that what I have accomplished working with Naomi is miraculous.......
After just a few lessons with Naomi Frenkel, I have not only made tangible progress toward my goal of sounding American, but have also learned better breath control and voice projection. Plus, I got terrific tips on pitch, tone, delivery, and much, much more.
I wanted to thank you for your workshop with my class at Georgetown University. The students' awareness of their voices and voice production has increased greatly and has become a prime focus for them. Everyone was quite impressed. Keep up the wonderful work.
Thank you so much for helping me find a stronger, clearer, and most of all, confident and powerful voice! This was one of the best investments of time and money that I have made in a long time.
The Working Voice is located in the Washington DC metro area.
