Katherine is a master voice coach!

Even though I’m not an actor, I have learned a TON from Katherine around how to improve my voice as an entrepreneur. I have pages of notes from Katherine based on takeaways and lessons I’ve learned along the way from her teaching, podcast and presentations. She’s a superstar when it comes to all things voice!
