4worldlovers:
At Viva Voce, we make confident, self-aware, empathetic, and grounded communicators. We are voice, speech and presence coaches.


We know that effective communication, no matter the situation, depends on presence and the way one uses their voice.


We are here to help you develop your presence, connect to your authentic voice, and rise to your true power and potential. We want to give you the skills to become your own best advocate, share your vision and ideas with the world, and be the best leader you can be.


We know the prospect of voice training can be daunting, but rest assured each of us has gone through the process and teaches from a place of empathy and understanding that the voice is wrapped up in our sense of who we are. Every risk you take is celebrated growth. Visualize who you want to be and how your want to use your voice, and we will help you get there.

Did you know that 55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and only 7% is the actual words spoken? This is a good reminder of how important your presence and voice are. Through our coaching, you’ll develop awareness of your body language, freedom and choice over your voice tone and expression, and you’ll also learn how to craft your message with impactful language. We cover all the bases.

In an age where devices are driving us into a lonely state of false connectedness, we bring our clients into the present, where real connections can occur. Voice work and presence training go hand in hand. When you connect your brain, body, emotion and voice, you will discover the vitality of being present.

Your voice is a vibration that passes through the air and touches your listener. The quality and tone of your voice will have a huge impact on how well your listener hears your message. The better you know your voice, the more you can use it effectively to motivate, inspire, connect with, persuade, and spark joy in others.

Using your voice effectively will change your life. How could you pass up this opportunity?

We are passionate about helping our clients find the natural resonance and power of their voice, so that they can be heard and truly seen. We want to enable others to become their own best advocate (especially in moments of stress), and show up in their lives with presence and uninhibited joy.

Viva Voce (pronounced Viva Vaw-chay) is a latin term meaning the Living Voice. Work with us from the comfort of your home through online classes, and learn how to make your voice come alive. Instead of being a source of fear, your voice will go to work for you, helping you achieve all that you set your sights on.

Devin knows how to fully engage and motivate public speaking learners of all ages and talents.

Throughout his public speaking training sessions, Devin walks the talk: he is very talented, dynamic, versatile, effective, a great story teller, very sensitive of learners' needs and insecurities, and last but not least, lots of FUN!"

The first things I got out of Bisanz Advanced Speaker Training is that, unfortunately, I had it backwards.

Like many of us, throughout my education and career I was put in a position which involved public speaking. I went for it, knowing that I had to do it in order to reach the next level. However, it meant going through ongoing growing pain. I never knew exactly how to tackle the next big (to me) public address. Anxiety, difficulty structuring my speech, how-to include humor, along with so many other unanswered feelings and questions I had while preparing for my speech.

When I wrote I had it backwards, I meant I wish I had spent those sessions with Devin at the start of my educational path. All of my fears, anxieties, questions, doubts, were addressed over the course of his program.

You can't change the past, but it is never too late to learn and grow.

Stop doubting, start acting. Reach out to Devin, like me, you shouldn't regret it.
