"Mel ran a brilliant public speaking workshop for researchers at the University of Queensland. Mel was engaging, funny and full of information and insight, not only into how to make the most of our voices, but also how to deal with nerves and anxiety on the day. This workshop was thoroughly enjoyed and greatly appreciated by all who attended. It gave all of us researchers a chance to think through the issues from a new perspective, whilst at the same time practicing hands-on exercises to reduce constriction and expand our vocal range – and with noticeable instantaneous results. I couldn’t recommend Mel enough – her workshops should be an obligatory requirement for all!"
- Sarah Bentley (University of Queensland)
