Thirty years of experience, experimentation, and training have made D’Arcy a world-class teacher, guide, and coach.

I am an award-winning voice and speech teacher and I have been training people to use their voices to connect with audiences around the world with power, eloquence, and heart.

My heart is in the spoken word. When we learn to harness the power of the spoken word, we can change people’s hearts and minds. We can make them laugh. Experience joy. Feel compassion. Walk in someone else’s shoes.

You’ve all seen it. You’ve watched that charismatic keynote speaker hold the entire audience of 5000 in the palm of her hand. And if you think that’s an innate talent, you are wrong. Those public speakers are trained in the art of speaking and performance. They don’t just get up and wing it. They lean into their technique that they’ve learned, and practiced, and honed.

I have taught public speaking skills at Drexel University and was an Associate Professor of Voice and Speech at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia for twenty years. I’ve served as a voice, speech, and performance coach for TEDxCambridge, and I was the Head of Vocal Training for Heroic Public Speaking from 2016 to 2020. I’ve trained hundreds of individuals

• keynote speakers, thought leaders, corporate executives wanting to up their game

• psychologists and doctors wishing to connect more effectively with their patients

• university professors striving to make an impact on their students

• Broadway performers and television actors

• and even an astronaut!

They all transformed their public speaking skills, finding their vocal power, their gravitas, their ability to make an impact with their message. And you know what? YOU CAN, TOO.
