DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

✔️ Struggling to be heard or taken seriously

✔️ Feeling overlooked or left out in conversations

✔️ Worried my voice lacks strength or clarity

✔️ Finding it hard to express my thoughts clearly

✔️ Trouble projecting or articulating my words

✔️ Running out of breath while speaking

✔️ Feeling self-conscious about how I sound

Despite my experience in singing and acting, at some point in the 2000s, I was stuck in a job I hated. I was working in a kitchen, supporting my music career, which wasn’t going well. The stress, long hours, and poor working conditions took a toll on me. I started getting anxiety attacks and found it hard to communicate, even with people close to me.

It got to the point where even my own mother couldn’t understand me over the phone. I withdrew from the world. I became hyper-aware of speaking, almost afraid of being heard. The only time I felt comfortable was on stage, with a microphone and a band behind me... it was like wearing a mask. But in everyday life, you can’t wear a mask forever.

I had to fix my voice, my confidence, and my ability to communicate. I started working on breathing, body alignment, and posture, which helped me feel more emotionally stable. Once I did that, my voice naturally improved. I worked on articulation to overcome mumbling and strengthened dormant vocal muscles that I had neglected.

Through this process, I realised something... if you don’t actively train your voice, it weakens. The same way muscles deteriorate without use, your voice does too. But by reversing tension, building strength, and regaining confidence, I was able to find my true voice again.

“I found it very helpful. I practice the exercises daily. It has made a significant impact on my public speaking quality”

- Xolani Kacela, Ph.D

Esteban, Panama

Esteban talks about week 5 (Resonance)


Your voice is like an athlete’s body... it needs regular training, conditioning, and proper technique to perform at its best. Just like you wouldn’t expect to run a marathon without training, you can’t expect your voice to be strong, clear, and effortless without structured practice. And like an athlete, when the muscles stop being worked, they weaken and become dormant. That’s why this course will reinvigorate your vocal system, rebuilding your core foundations to be strong, flexible, and dynamic... like a fully functional athlete at the top of their game.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO IMPROVE MY VOICE?
For some, results are immediate. For others, it can take time and might feel like nothing is happening at first. Voice workis a gradual process of making small, consistent changes that, over time, lead to lasting results and improved communication.

HOW WILL THIS VOCAL TRAINING IMPROVE MY CONFIDENCE?
If you feel nervous about speaking, you might avoid it, which only makes it harder to communicate effectively. This course encourages you to make physical changes to your voice and body through practice, which will naturally impact how comfortable and confident you feel communicating. Confidence is a byproduct of practice and consistency.

WHICH COURSE SHOULD I START FIRST?
What are you hoping to achieve? The foundational work in the 8-week course is essential for many reasons, establishing a secure base for further work. If you’re unsure, this is the best place to start, helping you gain physical awareness of your voice, body, and breath—all crucial for effective communication.

CAN THESE HELP ME OVERCOME MY STUTTER?
While voice training may benefit those who stammer or stutter, I would recommend visiting a speech pathologist or a medically trained professional first. They’ll help you understand the cause and suggest effective treatments. This course can still positively impact your voice and communication skills, though it isn’t specifically designed to treat these conditions.

WHEN DO COURSES START AND FINISH?
Courses start now and are completely self-paced, so you decide when to start and finish. Each course has a suggested timeline, and I recommend sticking to it. Consistency over time is key for lasting results—rushing may mean missing out on the full communication and vocal benefits.

After enrolling, you have unlimited access to the course across all your devices, allowing you to revisit lessons anytime.

Ready to Transform Your Voice & Communication Skills?

"I was very self-conscious about my childlike voice and had trouble getting myself heard - both, literally and metaphorically. I have been through several YouTube videos and websites that claim to have "2 minutes exercise" for getting a better voice. And it's not hard to comprehend that it was all in vain.

After I found Darren's channel and heard him saying that it's not achieved in a day, I got the instinct that this would work. And work it did. I took his 8-week course and by the end of it, my voice was deeper and more articulate. I kept on doing the exercises and as it happens after a few months, I stopped. To my surprise, it has been now 3-4 months since I have stopped and the resonance I used to feel while talking (although lesser) is still there. I think my voice has undergone a permanent change!”

- Amulya Mishra - Student, India

"As someone who has been pursuing various training courses, I can say that this easily beats everything else. I could appreciate how much work must have gone into its preparation and was amazed to be able to feel the difference and finally understand how things work together in my body. I intend to continue to practice daily, as recommended, to achieve the best possible voice I can have. Thank you again for this amazing course!"
