“My job, as I see it, is to get you past a problem and to hand back to any speaker the fun, joy and ultimate power that each of us should experience through speaking and communicating easily… nothing is quite so freeing and enlarging as a liberated voice.”
~ Patsy Rodenburg in ‘The Right to Speak: Working With The Voice’
