"Loved it. Great encouragement. Due to an infection, my voice was gravelly and too deep. The problem was completely resolved through exercises I was taught. Supportive while pushing me to my limit."

"I found Dr. Agin to be supportive tough, intelligent, and a great help for my stuttering blocks. We identified the problems and came up with a number of actionable plans to address the disfluencies. Her training style is very engaging. She didn't allow me to sit in my chair and be a lump on a log."

"I was preparing to speak to 2,000 people and my voice was so weak I couldn't last 10 minutes. Rhoda got me breathing properly, projecting, and drinking lots of water. Her training style is friendly, direct and demonstrative."

"I had suffered with Parkinsons Disease for eleven years when I began a six week intensive voice treatment series with Dr. Agin. My voice was so diminished that only those closest to me in a courtroom could hear what I said. Dr Agin's skill and enthusiasm were irresistible. Almost immediately, I was shouting words off into the wind and singing my heart out at our sessions. By the end of the series I no longer had a voice problem. I highly recommend Dr. Agin's approach."

"Dr. Agin increased my confidence and skill in public speaking, teaching and presentations. She was quite creative and imaginative in developing exercises and approaches. Her training style was competent, thoughtful, practical and responsive to my needs."

"Dr. Agin is a patient as well as caring person. I loved working with her. She pinpointed my strengths and my weaknesses in grammar and pronunciation. I am more confident talking to clients on the phone and in the office."

"The vocal staff and singers of Sonoma State University cannot thank you enough for your presentation. The information that you shared … is invaluable. How you are able to do that and be entertaining at the same time is a real gift."

"Dr. Agin taught me to correct [three] speech behaviors. My experience with her was very positive. My speech has greatly improved ...my co-workers, family and friends have seen it! I am very happy with the outcome. Dr. Agin is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their speech and public speaking skills."

"Dr. Agin is a first-rate diagnostician and particularly skilled at communicating what needs to be done ... and how to it--and with a great sense of humor too!"

"Thanks to Dr. Rhoda Agin, I'm now a radio talk show host! I had the passion and knowledge to excite a radio station owner to consider my proposal of being the "Voice for Health" for his station, Radio Sausalito, but... my delivery left him cold.

In a short time, after working with Dr. Agin, the owner was wowed with my very next demo tape and asked me to come by to record my first show! As a matter of fact, the owner was so impressed that he asked Dr. Agin to work with the rest of his crew to improve their shows. I would highly recommend Dr. Agin for voice coaching so that she can make you a star in your world as she has made me, in mine."

"I am reluctant to write this because it is so hard to believe. This past year my voice volume decreased to inaudible it [speech} became slurred and less clear. I saw several doctors including two ENT specialists and a [speech} therapist. No one had a diagnosis or knew what to do. One physician referred me to Dr. Agin. Within three days I had my voice back, and after the entire four-week treatment my voice is better than it ever has been.It is the best investment I ever made."

"I had calluses and vocal nodules and could not speak. [I had] low pitch, and a hard time breathing and speaking many words. Dr. Agin provided me with a series of breathing exercises and changed my pitch. Her training style included positive reinforcement, psychologically uplifting confidence-building, motivation, patience, and a sense of humor that made practice delightful. Her enthusiasm, professionalism and expertise sung out loudly, and the results were impressive."

"One of the most outstanding and relevant workshops for English teachers that I have ever attended was given by Dr. Rhoda Agin.¦She peppered her sophisticated topic with fun vocal exercises and humorous words such as phonesia which means dialing a phone number followed by forgetting the party being called!"

"Dr. Agin is thoroughly professional while at the same time encouraging and supportive. She does not drive you, but through her belief in your ability to improve, you are stretched and challenged. Also, she adapts her work to meet your specific communication needs in very practical ways. She really knows her stuff! I highly recommend her for all ages all levels."

"I particularly enjoyed the session on Vocal Dynamics by Dr. Rhoda Agin. She is a real professional with a marvelous sense of humor. It would be wonderful to have more international lecturers of her caliber next year."

"My communication difficulty was making myself heard in meetings. Dr. Agin helped me to increase the resonance of my voice. This made a significant difference in my ability to make myself heard in a meeting situation- and increase my effectiveness at work."

"I was in a bad car accident after which my speech was extremely slow, slurred, monotonous. I also used a lot of slang instead of words. I worked with Dr. Agin to enunciate more clearly, focusing on vowel sounds and minimizing nasal tones. She knew specific drills that minimized my problems and helped me become more confident with my speechShe was able to customize work for me that was enjoyable, integrated into my life well, and has proven to be extremely beneficial. She also helped reduce the jargon I was using by leading me to read more, thus expanding my knowledge and vocabulary."

"Dr Agin clearly explains the proper voice production methods necessary for relieving strain when singing. The exercise techniques Dr. Agin uses really helped me achieve better vocal habits. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious."

"As a student working on my degree in voice, a prolonged hoarseness from a virus and medical complications, and breath control [difficulty] stemming from a hemi-functional diaphragm prevented singing. Dr. Agin corrected these problems through vocal exercises, learning the functioning of the respiratory system, and muscle strengthening exercises. It was only after working with Dr. Agin that I felt ready to prepare and sing my senior recital."
