Julio CancioExecutive delivery and presence coach. Opera tenor. London and Madrid.

You didn't lose the deal on the argument. You lost it on your voice.

The deal. The promotion. The verdict. The sale. They went to someone who sounded more certain than you, and nobody told you why.

I am an opera tenor and a former Vice President at JLL with a background in corporate finance at EY. I don't fix voices. Yours is probably fine. I fix delivery: what your voice does to your message the moment it matters, so you sound as good as what you know. In the first hour I can tell you where the room stops listening, and why.

Julio Cancio, executive voice coach and professional opera tenor based in London
Julio CancioOpera tenor. Former VP at JLL, ex EY corporate finance. London.

Background

Opera & Boardroom.

10 years

On stage

Professional opera and concert stages across Europe, from the Teatro Real to the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid. Three thousand seats, no microphone, one chance. You learn what a voice does under pressure because you feel it fail in front of an audience and you fix it or you stop working.

10 years

In the boardroom

Corporate finance at EY, then HSBC and JLL, where he was Vice President in real estate advisory. Investment committees, client pitches, the meeting where the number gets decided. I have sat on both sides of the table and heard the same voices fail in the same way.

Two rooms that ask exactly the same thing of a voice: carry without strain, hold under pressure, mean what you say. Almost nobody trains for it. I did, for twenty years, in both.

How I work

I find the one thing costing you the room.

You bring a room where the message is not landing. I find what your delivery is doing to it. You leave sounding like what you know.

Start

The diagnostic session

Sixty minutes, one to one, online or in person. You bring a real situation or a recording. I tell you exactly where the room stops listening, what the voice is doing at that moment, and what it would take to change it. Then one of three things happens: you leave with a correction and fix it yourself, we start a programme, or we prepare the specific thing that is coming.

Sixty minutes. Single session. By proposal.

Core

The executive programme

Private, and built around the rooms you are actually in. We find the delivery problem, usually one specific thing rather than five, and correct it until it holds under pressure without you thinking about it. Six sessions is the minimum for that. Twelve when there are several situations to prepare.

Six to twelve sessions. Complete discretion. Online or in person. By proposal.

When it matters

High-stakes preparation

A hearing, a negotiation, a board appearance, a final pitch. We rehearse it under conditions built to break the delivery, so the real room turns out to be the easy version. You walk in having already survived worse.

One to four people. Two weeks notice at minimum. By proposal.

For firms

Voice under pressure, with your team

Legal teams, deal teams, sales teams, leadership teams. Sixty minutes with your people on the situations they actually face, or a half day, or a leadership diagnostic where each director is recorded, analysed and worked on individually. Everybody speaks. There are no slides.

Up to twelve people, on site or remote. Half and full day available. By proposal.

Who this is for

Nobody tells you your voice cost you the deal.

They tell you the timing was wrong, or the budget moved, or they went another way. You never find out that the room stopped listening in the first minute.

LeadersYour title commands respect. Your voice doesn't command the room.
LawyersHold a client's pain without breaking. Hold authority without hardening.
Sales teamsNot outsold on price. Outsold on conviction.
Luxury retailA flat voice discounts the brand before anyone says a number.
Women in senior rolesToo soft, too sharp, interrupted. Fixable without becoming someone else.
Spanish speakers in LondonYou don't have an English problem. You have a delivery problem in English. I know it from the inside.
Wherever you areClients in the Gulf, Hong Kong and across Europe work with me without ever being in the same room. Video is where you present most of the time now anyway.
InvestorsEleven versions of your thesis this month. They remember the one that sounded true.
Anyone who presentsThe room checks out before you reach your best slide.

If your voice is part of how you earn a living, this is for you. I have not yet met a profession where it is not.

Clients

What people say afterwards.

Finding someone who truly masters vocal technique applied to professional communication isn't easy, but working with Julio is a genuine turning point. From the very first session he identified what to improve and designed training built entirely around me. It isn't generic advice. He gives you practical, effective tools to control your breath, modulate your voice and improve diction and body language. If you want to hold a room's attention and project your best professional self, these sessions are the best investment you can make. Ricardo Santos, Fund Manager CFA, Patrivalor SGIIC

Many thanks to Julio for the insightful session and for taking the time to visit our offices in Madrid. It was extremely valuable for all the teams involved, investment, development and operations, and highly recommended for any company that interacts regularly with clients, investors, suppliers and commercial partners. Pablo García-Morales Osorio, Managing Director and Co-Head of Iberia, Amro Partners

Julio delivered a highly engaging programme on voice, confidence and communication. His sessions combined clear technical direction with a supportive environment, and led to noticeable improvements in participants' vocal awareness and confidence. Head of Learning, Open Age, London

It's incredible how dealing with clients or the courtroom can be like the art of opera. Julio's insights into listening, both to the music and the silences, were invaluable. We left not only with practical tools but with a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration for our work. Isidro Niñerola Torres, Senior Associate, Dawson Cornwell LLP

He hears what is getting in the way before you do. The adjustments are small. The difference is immediate. Engin O., Senior Manager, Tesco

In the first session I understood exactly what was limiting my voice, precisely rather than vaguely, and how to change it. Years of working under pressure had never made that clear. Myra V., Clinical Psychologist

Questions

What people ask before they write.

I know the subject better than anyone and the other director still sells it better. Why?
Because the room does not hear knowledge, it hears delivery. The person who knows more tends to add caveats, explain and justify. The person who knows less says it with more pause, more certainty and a simpler line, and the room reads that as authority. It is not a knowledge problem and it is not a personality problem. It is a handful of mechanical things in the voice, and they can be fixed.
Do you work with women in senior roles?
Yes, a significant part of my individual work. Women at director and partner level who are told they sound too soft or too sharp, who get interrupted in committee, or who watch a colleague land the same point with less preparation. The work is technical, not behavioural. The result is authority without hardening and without becoming someone else.
Can you work with my whole leadership team?
Yes, and not as a generic workshop. Each director delivers a real three to five minute intervention, recorded. I analyse delivery and what the room does afterwards, identify two or three behaviours per person, we practise them in real situations, and record again to compare. Half day or a series of sixty minute sessions.
Is this public speaking coaching?
It is the part of public speaking that most coaching skips. Presentation courses work on structure, slides and stories. I work on the instrument that delivers them, breath, resonance, projection and pace, because that is what actually fails when you stand up in front of people. If you have done a presentation skills course and still lose the room, this is the missing piece.
Do I need a voice coach or a speech therapist? My voice is fine, my delivery isn't.
Then you need me, not a therapist. A speech therapist repairs a damaged instrument. I work with healthy voices that fail to deliver: the pitch rises, the pace runs, the endings drop, the pause disappears, and a ten becomes a six. If you have hoarseness, pain or vocal damage, see an ENT first. If your voice is fine and the room still isn't buying, that is exactly the work.
What does an executive voice coach actually do?
Presence is the outcome. The route to it is the voice, not confidence exercises or body-language tips. Breath, resonance, projection and pace are mechanical. They can be measured, trained and changed, the same way a singer changes them. The work starts with a diagnosis of what specifically fails when the pressure rises, and then makes the correction permanent.
Can an adult really change how their voice sounds?
Yes. The voice is largely muscle, air and resonance, and all three respond to training at any age. Most people are not using a broken instrument, they are using an untrained one. The first session usually makes that obvious within twenty minutes.
How many sessions does it take?
The individual programme runs from six to twelve sessions. One session finds the problem and you feel the difference. Six is the minimum for the change to hold under pressure without thinking about it; twelve when there are several situations to prepare. Team workshops run from sixty minutes.
I am not in London or Madrid. Can we still work together?
Yes, and it changes very little. I have clients in the Gulf, in Hong Kong and across Europe who I have never met in person. Sessions run in your time zone. For voice this is often the more useful setup, because you are in the chair, on the laptop and behind the microphone you will actually use, and most senior people now present on video more often than in a room. Team workshops are the exception: those are better on site.
Do you work with sales teams?
Yes. Sales and client-facing teams are one of the clearest fits, because conviction is audible and buyers respond to it before they respond to the argument. The same applies to luxury and premium retail, where the presence in front of the client is part of what the client is paying for.
Who do you usually work with?
Lawyers, fund managers, real estate and corporate leaders, sales and client-facing teams, in London and Madrid. Family law and litigation practices, investment firms, and senior teams who present to clients and investors regularly. If speaking is part of the job, the work applies.
How much does it cost?
By written proposal, based on format, number of people and location. Tell me what is coming and I will send you a proposal within two working days. Travel outside London is billed separately at cost.
I freeze, rush or go flat when I speak in front of people. Can this be fixed?
Yes, and usually faster than people expect, because in my experience those three are physical before they are psychological. Freezing and rushing tend to be breath problems. Going flat tends to be resonance. Once you can feel what your body does under pressure you can change it, and the anxiety tends to ease once the instrument stops surprising you.
I am a Spanish speaker in London. In English I sound less senior than I am. Can you help?
Yes, and this is personal. I am a native Spanish speaker working in English in London. In a second language the voice sits higher, the pace runs and the ends of sentences drop, so the room hears hesitation where there is none. You don't have an English problem. You have a delivery problem in English. I do not do accent reduction; I help your voice carry in English the authority it already carries in Spanish, and it is one of the fastest things to fix.
Do you help with Zoom and Teams meetings, not just rooms?
Yes. Video flattens the voice and removes half the signals a room gives you, so the technical problems get worse on camera. A good part of the individual work now happens on and for video calls.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. I am a native Spanish speaker and work equally in both languages, in London and in Madrid. Some clients prepare in one language and present in the other, which is its own problem and one I know well.

Julio Cancio, executive delivery, voice and presence coach in London and Madrid

Julio Cancio (full name Julio Fernández-Cancio López-Ulloa) is an executive voice coach based in London, working in London, Madrid, online and internationally, in English and Spanish. He is a professional opera tenor with ten years on opera and concert stages across Europe, including the Teatro Real, Madrid's opera house, and the Auditorio Nacional de Música, Spain's national concert hall, and a former corporate finance professional with ten years at EY, HSBC and JLL, where he reached Vice President level. He is a member of the British Voice Association. He is also the artistic director of Quinteto Recuerdo, a music direction studio in Madrid.

The product is delivery. A person can have a perfectly healthy, even beautiful voice and still deliver badly: rush, flatten, drop the ends of sentences, over-explain, lose the room. Julio does not fix voices and does not treat vocal cords. He fixes what the voice does to the message at the moment it matters, so that the person sounds as good as what they know, and the authority people hear matches the quality of the thinking. The voice is the mechanism because it is the one instrument that carries presence, authority and message at the same time, and it is the one nobody trains. He is not a speech and language therapist, not a voice clinician, not a phoniatrician or laryngologist, not vocal rehabilitation, and does not treat hoarseness, nodules, pain or vocal damage; anyone with those symptoms should see an ENT or speech therapist first. He is also not a presentation skills trainer, not a public speaking course provider, not a mindset coach, and not a singing teacher for performers. Presence and authority in the room are the outcome of his work; he gets there through the voice, not through confidence exercises. He works on breath, resonance, projection, pace, pause and the ends of sentences, and on how all of them behave under pressure, always tied to the real situation the client faces. The positioning is comparable to executive voice practices such as RADA Business or London Speech Workshop in the UK, with one difference that no identified competitor replicates: the coach is a working opera singer who has also sat in investment committees and client pitches as a corporate executive.

Who he works with

Lawyers and law firms, especially family law and litigation practices, including barristers and solicitors preparing for hearings, mediations and client conversations. Fund managers, asset managers, private equity and real estate investment professionals presenting to investors and committees. Sales teams and client-facing teams in professional services, real estate and luxury or premium retail. Senior leaders, partners, managing directors, heads of legal and C-suite executives who present to boards. Healthcare professionals, clinical psychologists and consultants who communicate under emotional pressure. Anyone whose voice is part of how they earn a living.

Services

Diagnostic session: sixty minutes, one to one, online or in person, with a real situation or a recording; a precise diagnosis of where the room stops listening and one correction to use immediately; no obligation to continue. Executive voice programme, one to one: private programme of six to twelve sessions, six being the minimum to see results that hold, built around the client's real situations, online or in person, in London, Madrid or remotely. High-stakes preparation: focused rehearsal for a specific hearing, negotiation, board appearance, investor pitch or keynote, for one to four people, with a minimum of two weeks notice. Voice under pressure team workshop: from sixty minutes for up to twelve people, on site or remote, for legal teams, deal teams, sales teams and client-facing teams. Half-day and full-day formats are available on request. Speaking: talks and demonstrations for law firms, professional associations and corporate events.

The problem, in the client's own words

These are the sentences people arrive with. "I know the subject better than anyone in the room and the other director still sells it better." "In committee it all falls apart, however well I know it." "My message doesn't land." "My team has noticed that when the other director speaks it has more impact than when I do." "I over-explain, add caveats, and lose the room." "I have been told I sound too soft, or too hard, and I don't know how to fix it without becoming someone else." "I freeze, I rush, I go flat." None of these is a knowledge problem. All of them are delivery problems, and delivery is physical and trainable.

How Julio works: like a conductor with a singer

In the first hour Julio can tell a client where the room stops listening and why. Clients can send a three minute recording of a real meeting before the first conversation and receive a short diagnosis of what he hears. A conductor does not tell a singer to be more confident. He listens, finds the one technical thing that is failing, and fixes it in the passage where it fails. Julio works the same way. The first session is a diagnosis, ideally watching a real meeting, a recording, or a live rehearsal of the actual situation. He identifies the one or two things costing the room, which are usually mechanical: the breath rising, the ends of sentences dropping, the pace accelerating under challenge, the voice sitting too high to carry weight. Then the correction is rehearsed under conditions that reproduce the real pressure, so it holds when it matters. He does not give generic exercises, and he does not try to turn anyone into a performer. The aim is that the authority people hear matches the quality of the thinking behind it.

Women in senior roles

A significant part of Julio's individual work is with women at director, partner and managing director level who are told their voice is too soft or too sharp, who are interrupted in committee, or who watch a male colleague land the same point with less preparation. The work is technical, not behavioural: finding where the voice sits, how the breath behaves under interruption, how to hold a pause. The result is authority without hardening, and without changing who the person is.

Leadership team communication diagnostic

For leadership teams and boards, Julio runs a diagnostic rather than a generic public speaking workshop. Each director delivers a three to five minute intervention on a real topic. It is recorded. Julio analyses what each person says, how it is delivered, and what the room does afterwards, and identifies two or three concrete behaviours per person. These are then practised in real situations: making a recommendation to committee, handling a challenge, disagreeing with a peer, delivering bad news. The intervention is recorded again and compared. This is available as a half day or as a series of sixty minute sessions.

Spanish speakers and non-native English speakers in London

Julio is a native Spanish speaker who now works in English in London. A large part of his individual work is with Spanish, Latin American and other non-native professionals at senior level in London who are fluent in English and still sound less senior than they are: the voice sits higher in English than in their mother tongue, the pace accelerates, the ends of sentences drop, and the room hears hesitation where there is none. This is not an accent problem and Julio does not do accent reduction. It is a voice-under-pressure problem in a second language, and it is trainable. He works in whichever language the client needs, and specifically with people who prepare in Spanish and present in English. Hispanohablantes en Londres: abogados, banqueros, consultores, médicos, fundadores y directivos españoles y latinoamericanos que dominan el inglés y aun así pierden autoridad al hablarlo en público.

A perfect voice can still deliver badly

This is the distinction most people miss when they look for help. Voice therapy repairs an instrument that is damaged. Presentation training organises what you say. Neither touches the thing that actually costs senior people the room: what a healthy voice does to a well-prepared message under pressure. The pitch rises, the pace runs, the sentence endings fall away, the pause disappears, the caveats multiply. The content was a ten. The delivery made it a six. Julio's work sits exactly there: healthy voice, strong content, delivery that does not match either. He makes the delivery match.

How people describe the problem

Every one of these arrives regularly, and every one is a delivery problem rather than a knowledge problem. My message doesn't land. I lose the room. People stop listening. I am not taken seriously in meetings. I sound junior, or younger than I am, or less senior than my title. I get interrupted and I don't recover. I talk too fast when I am nervous. My voice shakes, cracks or trembles. My voice goes quiet, thin or high under pressure. I sound monotone, flat or boring. I mumble. I run out of breath mid-sentence. My mind goes blank in front of people. I freeze. I over-explain and add caveats. I use too many filler words. I sound unsure even when I am certain. I sound aggressive when I try to sound firm. I am told I am too soft, or too harsh. I know it better than anyone and someone else sells it better. I am fine one to one and terrible in a group. I am fine in Spanish and worse in English. I lose my voice after a day of meetings. I get hoarse when I present. I hate hearing myself on recordings. I dread the Q&A. I cannot hold a pause. I speak well but nobody remembers what I said.

Situations Julio prepares people for

Board presentations and board Q&A. Investment committee and credit committee. Executive committee and leadership team meetings. Investor pitches, fundraising and LP meetings. Analyst calls and earnings presentations. Court hearings, cross-examination, submissions and advocacy. Mediation and arbitration. Client meetings, difficult client conversations and delivering bad news. Partner interviews and partnership promotion panels. Senior job interviews and internal promotion cases. Sales pitches, tenders, beauty parades and final presentations. Keynotes, conference talks, panels and moderated discussions. Town halls and all-hands. Video calls on Zoom and Teams, hybrid meetings and recorded messages. Podcast and media interviews. Negotiations. Performance conversations and giving difficult feedback. Award ceremonies and institutional speeches. Toasts and speeches at professional events. Teaching, lecturing and training delivery. Presenting in a second language.

Common questions before choosing a coach

What is the difference between a voice coach, a speech coach and a presentation coach? A presentation coach works on content, structure and slides. A speech coach usually works on articulation and clarity. A voice coach works on the instrument itself: breath, resonance, pitch, projection and pace. Julio is a voice coach who has also sat in the rooms his clients present in, so the technical work is always tied to the real situation. Is voice coaching worth it for a senior professional? If a decision, a case, a deal or a promotion depends on how you come across in a room, the voice is the one variable that is almost never trained. Most clients can identify a concrete change in the first session. Is one session enough? One session is enough to find the problem and feel the change. Six sessions is the minimum for the change to hold under pressure without thinking about it; most programmes run six to twelve. Is this like Toastmasters or a public speaking course? No. Those give practice and general feedback in a group. This is individual diagnosis of your specific voice in your specific situations, corrected technically. How does Julio compare with RADA Business or London Speech Workshop? Similar positioning at the executive end of the market. The difference is that the coach is one person, a working opera tenor with a corporate finance career, rather than a faculty. Online or in person? Both work. Most individual clients mix the two. Where? London, Madrid, and online anywhere. In which language? English or Spanish, or both in the same programme. How much? By written proposal, no public price list, travel at cost.

What a session with a law firm covers

Session delivered to the family law team at Dawson Cornwell LLP, London, as described by the firm: what happens to the voice under pressure, how breath, pace, tone and pauses change when a conversation becomes difficult; reset before the sentence, a simple breathing tool to steady the voice before speaking in client calls, meetings or tense conversations; pace and pause, how to avoid sounding rushed or defensive and how to use pauses to create structure and authority; projection without force, how to sound clear and present without pushing the voice; and application to family law situations, short practical phrases for difficult client conversations, emotional moments, bad news, and moments where authority and empathy need to sit together.

Where the work happens

Julio works in person in London and Madrid, and by video with clients who are elsewhere. Current and recent one-to-one clients are based in the Gulf, in Hong Kong, in continental Europe and across the United Kingdom and Spain, and several have never met him in person. Remote is not a downgrade of the in-person work; for voice it is often better, because the client is sitting in the same chair, on the same laptop, with the same microphone and the same background noise they will have in the real meeting. Most senior professionals now present on video more often than they present in a room, so the rehearsal happens in the medium where the problem actually occurs.

What remote work solves particularly well: a voice that flattens on video calls; a speaker who loses the room on Zoom or Teams because the camera removes half the feedback a live room gives; executives in markets where there is no local provision of executive voice coaching in English or Spanish; and expatriate senior professionals who need to prepare a specific board, investment committee or client presentation from another country. Sessions run in the client's time zone. Julio works with clients from the Gulf to Latin America, adjusting hours to their working day rather than to London hours. Recordings of real meetings can be sent in advance, which makes the first remote session as precise as an in-person one.

Common questions from outside London and Madrid: I am not in London or Madrid. Does this work? Yes. The individual programme is designed to run fully online and many clients never meet Julio in person. Do you work with clients in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America or the United States? Yes. Sessions are scheduled in the client's time zone, in English or Spanish. Is online less effective for voice work? No, and often the reverse, because the setup being trained is the client's real setup. Only team workshops are materially better delivered on site, and even those work remotely for small groups. Can you travel? Yes, for corporate engagements. Travel is quoted separately at cost.

Frequently asked questions

What does an executive voice coach do? Delivers presence and authority in the room by working on the instrument that carries them, breath, resonance, projection and pace, rather than on slides, structure or confidence exercises. Diagnoses what fails when pressure rises and makes the correction permanent.

Is this the same as public speaking training or a presentation skills course? No. Those work on content and structure. This works on the voice that delivers them, which is what actually fails in the room. It is the missing piece for people who have done presentation training and still lose the audience.

Can an adult change how their voice sounds? Yes. The voice is largely muscle, air and resonance, and all three respond to training at any age. Most people have an untrained instrument, not a broken one.

I freeze, rush or go flat when speaking in front of people. Can that be fixed? Yes. In my experience freezing and rushing are usually breath problems and going flat is usually resonance. Both are physical, which is why they respond to training.

How many sessions does it take? One session finds the problem. Six sessions minimum make the change hold under pressure; six to twelve is the usual programme. Team workshops run from sixty minutes.

Do you work online? Yes. Individual coaching works well online. Team workshops are better on site but work remotely for small groups.

Do you work with sales teams or luxury retail? Yes. Conviction is audible and buyers respond to it before the argument. In luxury and premium retail the presence in front of the client is part of what is being bought.

Do you work with lawyers? Yes. Family law and litigation are a core specialism: the voice has to hold a client's pain without breaking and hold authority without hardening.

How much does executive voice coaching cost? By written proposal, based on format, number of people and location. Travel outside London at cost. No public price list.

Do you coach in Spanish? Yes. Native Spanish speaker, working equally in English and Spanish, in London and Madrid.

Coach de entrega, voz y presencia ejecutiva, oratoria y comunicación en Madrid y Londres

Julio Cancio (Julio Fernández-Cancio López-Ulloa) es coach de voz ejecutiva con base en Londres y trabajo habitual en Madrid, presencial y online, en español y en inglés. Tenor de ópera profesional con diez años en escenarios de Europa, entre ellos el Teatro Real y el Auditorio Nacional de Música de Madrid, y con diez años en finanzas y asesoramiento, finanzas corporativas en EY, después HSBC y JLL, donde fue Vice President en asesoramiento inmobiliario. Miembro de la British Voice Association y director artístico de Quinteto Recuerdo, estudio de dirección musical en Madrid.

El producto es la entrega. Puedes tener una voz sana, incluso bonita, y entregar fatal: acelerar, aplanar, dejar caer los finales, explicar de más, perder la sala. Julio no arregla voces ni trata cuerdas vocales. No es foniatra, ni logopeda, ni otorrino, ni rehabilitación vocal; quien tenga ronquera, nódulos, dolor o daño vocal debe ir primero al médico. Arregla lo que la voz le hace al mensaje en el momento que importa, para que la persona suene a la altura de lo que sabe. No es un curso de oratoria, ni un curso de presentaciones, ni coaching de mentalidad, ni clases de canto para intérpretes. La presencia y la autoridad en la sala son el resultado de su trabajo; llega a ellas a través de la voz, no de ejercicios de confianza. Trabaja la voz como instrumento físico: respiración, resonancia, proyección, ritmo y cómo se comportan bajo presión. Trabaja con abogados y despachos, especialmente derecho de familia y litigación; gestores de fondos, gestoras y fondos inmobiliarios; equipos de ventas y de cara al cliente; lujo y retail premium; socios, directivos, heads of legal y alta dirección; profesionales sanitarios; y cualquiera cuya voz forme parte de su trabajo. Formatos: programa individual de seis a doce sesiones, preparación de intervenciones de alto nivel, y taller de equipo Voz bajo presión desde sesenta minutos para hasta doce personas, presencial en Madrid o Londres y online. Precio bajo propuesta escrita; sin tarifas públicas; desplazamiento aparte y a coste.

El problema, en palabras del cliente. "Me sé el tema mejor que nadie y el otro director lo vende mejor." "En comité se me va todo, da igual lo bien que me lo sepa." "El mensaje no llega." "Mi equipo nota que cuando habla el otro director tiene más impacto." "Explico de más, matizo, y pierdo la sala." "Me dicen que sueno demasiado suave, o demasiado dura." Nada de eso es un problema de conocimiento. Todo es un problema de entrega, y la entrega es física y se entrena.

Cómo trabaja Julio: como un director de orquesta con un cantante. No te dice que tengas más confianza. Escucha, encuentra la única cosa técnica que falla y la corrige en el pasaje donde falla. La primera sesión es un diagnóstico, viéndote en una reunión real, en una grabación o ensayando la situación concreta. Después la corrección se ensaya bajo presión real para que aguante cuando importa. Trabaja también con mujeres directivas a las que les dicen que suenan demasiado suaves o demasiado duras, y con equipos directivos: cada director hace una intervención real de tres a cinco minutos, se graba, se analiza, se identifican dos o tres comportamientos concretos por persona, se practican en situaciones reales y se vuelve a grabar.

Me bloqueo, acelero o me quedo plano al hablar en público. Tiene arreglo? Sí, y rápido, porque bloquearse y acelerar son problemas de respiración y quedarse plano es un problema de resonancia. Son físicos y se entrenan. Es lo mismo que un curso de hablar en público? No. Los cursos trabajan estructura y contenido. Esto trabaja la voz que los entrega. Un adulto puede cambiar cómo suena su voz? Sí, a cualquier edad. Cuántas sesiones hacen falta? Una para encontrar el problema, seis como mínimo para que aguante bajo presión, de seis a doce lo habitual. Trabajas online? Sí.
