Paul Rakowicz Vocal Coaching

Sai (Corporate IT)

Since childhood, I struggled with stuttering while speaking. While it wasn’t severe, it was significant enough to shake my self-confidence and make expressing myself a constant challenge. I always had so much to share, but I often held back because I was too conscious of what others might think of my stuttering. Over time, this made me appear introverted, even though I’m not one by nature. I had resigned myself to the idea that this was just how I was meant to be—that I’d have to live with it forever.

Then, one day, I stumbled upon Coach Paul’s ad on my Facebook feed. It felt like fate. I signed up for a Discovery Call, not knowing what to expect. From the moment I hopped on that call, I knew I was in good hands. Coach Paul was incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and truly listened to my struggles. He assured me that he could help, and his confidence and credibility gave me the courage to take a leap of faith and join his program.

The transformation was nothing short of miraculous. In our very first session, we went through some voice exercises, and in the second session, he introduced me to a simple yet powerful breathing technique. To my amazement, it immediately corrected my stuttering. If I focused on that technique, I wouldn’t stutter at all. For the first time in my life, I felt free to express myself without fear or hesitation.

Coach Paul didn’t stop there. He continued to guide me through the rest of the program, sharing invaluable insights and techniques that have not only helped me overcome my stutter but also improved my overall communication skills. His coaching is transformative, and I firmly believe that everyone—whether they have a speech impediment or not—can benefit from his expertise. His methods don’t just help you speak better; they empower you to influence and connect with others in a meaningful way.

Today, I speak with confidence and clarity, and I owe it all to Coach Paul. He didn’t just fix my stutter—he gave me my voice back. If you’re struggling with any kind of speech challenge, or if you simply want to become a more effective communicator, I cannot recommend Coach Paul enough. He is truly an amazing coach, and I will forever be grateful for the impact he’s had on my life.

Thank you, Coach Paul, for changing my life!

  • Dr. Kevin (Chiropractor)

    I had my first vocal coaching session with Paul last week and it was life changing. He helped me realize that I was monotone and used filler words. He also taught me how to fluctuate from middle voice, to head voice to chest voice to keep people’s attention when I speak. After our first session I hosted a workshop for Epilepsy and signed up 9 out of the 11 people in attendance, compared to just a few in previous workshops. Thank you Coach Paul!

  • Dev J. (Corporate Enterprise IT)

    Paul is a teacher par excellence. He has the uncanny ability analyze problems, identify root causes and provide practical solutions. He enables you to quickly improve all aspects of speech, whether it be day-to-day articulation or presentation skills. Identifying problems may be easy but providing tailor-made practical solutions to resolve issues is hard, and Paul does that very effectively.

  • Dr. John (Doctor of Chiropractic)

    Working with Coach Paul has been a great experience. He taught me how to breathe properly, which not only improved my speaking voice but also helped me to calm my anxious stomach. Coach Paul's guidance has helped me to connect better with my patients and community. I highly recommend his vocal coaching to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills and connect better with their audience.

  • Sherry Seals (Owner - Precision Saddlery)

    I had my first voice lesson and learned that I have been breathing incorrectly and using the wrong part of my body to speak which makes me tired and gets my voice sore. ”Wow! What a life altering thing to learn. I get aggravated when it seems like I am not being heard and part of it is that I was literally getting exhausted trying to communicate.

    Who knew? I needed this 45 years ago. I can think of so many times that this has been an issue for me, both personally and professionally.

  • Tristan Parmley (Founder - Remote Media)

    I found out about Paul from a comment from Kevin Johnson on Cassidy Bones post and knew I needed to dive deeper.

    I didn't know why I was struggling with making content, giving talks, or selling stuff, but I knew people didn't get what I was trying to say. And Ironically, it’s something I help people with every day!

    It is so easy to help others, but I was completely blinded for myself and extremely timid.

    It was like people would zone out when I'd go deep into a topic. I knew it was important but I couldn't figure out how to explain it better.

    On our first call, Coach Paul talked about how our voice is linked to our body and mind. Even simple things like breathing matter and I was taught to do them all wrong.

    After our first session, I felt like I was on a new level. The head high I got was insane.. Every week, I was getting better at the exercises and in my life outside of work.

    At the end, I wasn't just back to normal, I was better than before.

    I left with some basic stuff to practice every day and I can feel myself getting better.

    Not just in recordings or because people are listening more. I can actually feel it, the connection between my body when I speak, the engagement with my writing, and people’s feedback understanding what I'm saying too.

    I'll be checking in with Paul every month for the next year to keep myself practicing and to keep this new confidence.

    If you run a business or talk to groups of people, you should try vocal coaching.

    I'll be referring ALL of my clients to start with him so they don't have any roadblocks online either.

    You won't believe how much you're missing out on. Thanks for everything, Paul!

  • Khalil (Corporate IT - Full Stack Developer)

    I was fortunate to have one-hour weekly sessions with Coach Paul Rakowicz over eight weeks, and the objective was to enhance my voice and communication.

    Paul's in-depth knowledge of voice dynamics, such as pitch, tone, and volume, is simply outstanding. He tailored our sessions personally to my requirements, and he offered insightful feedback and interactive exercises that made an enormous impact.

    His encouraging but demanding coaching technique made learning fun and effective.

    I highly suggest Coach Paul to anyone looking to enhance their public speaking skills and gain confidence in communicating.

  • Jim (Finance Executive)

    Paul’s vocal coaching program helped me deal with overcoming what I call the “speaking yips”.

    I knew how to prepare, practice, and execute scripted public speeches based on my experience in school and career. However, I could not handle the spontaneous, high-pressure, and impactful speaking moments as I moved up to higher levels of leadership.

    Would time in the position take care of the problem? Would doubling down on my methods solve the problem?

    What I did know is I did not have the time to waste on my trial-and-error method. I needed a specialist to get me quickly on track in this deficient area of my life and have a way to sustain growth on my own.

    Throughout the “Speak With Confidence” lessons with Coach Paul and routine self-directed practice, I quickly stopped my nervousness in impromptu public speaking situations, strengthened my vocal cords, got critical feedback from a professional, and became a free-flowing speaker.

    In addition, I found Coach Paul’s 40 years of experience in both the corporate and small business spaces to be in-depth, which he used to help me game plan how I would approach my weekly, monthly, and quarterly budget meetings with operational employees and executive leadership.

    At the end of my time with Coach Paul, I came to see him as not only a vocal coach but a life coach with the ability to fine-tune each individual based on his experience as a husband, father, vocal coach, small business owner, and corporate professional.

  • Aruna (Finance, IT)

    Before I started working with Coach Paul, I often struggled to express myself clearly and confidently in everyday conversations. From the beginning, he made me feel at ease and helped me understand how my voice could be a tool, not a barrier.

    Through simple, effective techniques like breath work, articulation practice, and voice projection, I’ve learned how to speak with more confidence and presence. What I appreciate most is how personalized and encouraging each session feels.

    Coach Paul has helped me not just improve how I sound, but how I feel when I speak. I now carry myself with more clarity and assurance in daily life, and that’s made a huge difference.
