I highly recommend Dr. Brian Loxley, who was my Storytelling Coach.  He is a master of communication skills.  Dr. Loxley has a Ph.D. in Speech from Southern Illinois University as well as both B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees from the Goodman Theatre and School of Drama in Chicago.  He has had further training in voice, speech, and accent reduction in Hollywood with Dr. Morton Cooper (Change your Voice, Change Your Life), and Dr. David Alan Stern of Dialect Accent Specialists as well as with Lorna Sikorski of LDS Associates and Dr. Paulette Dale (English Pronunciation for Spanish Speakers).

Since 1984 the Brian Loxley Speech Studio has provided training in Voice and Speech Improvement, Accent Reduction, Presentations and Public Speaking, and Communication Skills to clients in business, medicine, law, the performing arts, media, and academia, as well as to private individuals.

He is energetic in his coaching and he applies his standards of excellence to his students in an encouraging and compassionate way.  I found my comfort level as a storyteller through Dr. Loxley's powerful coaching.  He taught me how to be authentic and powerful in my presentation.
