Suzann’s book offers profound insight that gently opens our minds to the splendor and intricacy of public speaking and personal truth. She introduces a fresh, holistic re-orientation to the significance and value of staying true to our authentic ‘voice’ and relinquishing limiting beliefs. Her infectious spirit, unbounded optimism, and superb intellect shine through each chapter, and I am more aware that when we internalize our ability to connect and communicate with our authentic voice, it becomes our powerful ally not only for public speaking, but in any context of our life.

Suzann goes far and above sharing her expertise on how to develop your unique voice. I had fun ‘belting’ and projecting and de-frogging my voice thanks to her invaluable lessons.
But I think the title of her book is an understatement. True, she teaches you how to use your voice most effectively and shares the importance of learning all of this, but what I really enjoyed most was the heart Suzann puts into every page.

Her lessons on creating your finest, most tuned voice is easy to follow with her instruction and exercise. However, what I love most about her book is her personal passion and dedication to the reader that takes you far beyond your voice.

Her inspiring words of encouragement and life instructions on following your own personal ‘calling’, triggers action and motivation.
A standing ovation for Suzann!

As a coach and counselor, and someone who works with both kids and grown ups to help them open up and express themselves more freely, I can honestly say that Suzann Rye’s book is the most amazing tool that I have EVER come across! It goes far beyond the boundaries of just teaching people how to present and use their voice. This book will help you discover amazing potential within yourself and explore possibilities you never thought possible.
I have been familiar with Suzann Rye's work for quite some time, and have used her techniques not only in my own life – I use them on my clients too. The results that I've had so far have been astonishing.
If you want to make a great investment in yourself and your future, this should be it.

I met Suzann Rye during a seminar on the power of the voice. I was amazed
by her profound understanding of the mechanics of the vocal instrument, but
perhaps even more importantly, I realized what a remarkable advocate of the
holistic dimension of the voice she is.
This book contains a wealth of practical knowledge. It is both helpful and inspiring.
I invite you to let Suzann be your guide in this fascinating journey to discover your own
inner voice and build it step by step to make it “your calling card.”

The holistic approach to voice training offered in this book will benefit speakers looking to break free of formulaic approaches to overcoming speech fright that just don’t work. A "must add" for every speaker's library.

Susan Berkley, Author of, "Speak to Influence: How to unlock the hidden power of your voice", www.greatvoice.com

 


In Your Voice Is Your Calling Card, Suzann Rye tackles your fears, expands your comfort zone and emphasizes several breathing/projection exercises to improve your delivery. After she builds your confidence and your stage presence and you think there is nothing more, she digs down deeper to help you discover and remove what is holding you back. Suzann’s book will definitely help you put your “best voice” forward in all situations.

Suzann Rye has produced a wonderful guidebook for anybody who relies on their voice. In particular, the section on vocal training provides an incredibly comprehensive explanation of the many aspects of voice quality and provides a full set of exercises allowing them to be developed. As a speaker and trainer I have previously bought several self-help programs in this area, and this one is quite simply the best of them.

Your Voice is Your Calling Card goes beyond any conventional book on speaker training that I’ve come across so far. It is about communication; how to connect and communicate heart to heart. And it’s about building confidence – the kind of confidence that allows you to speak in you own voice, both literally and metaphorically.
As a child safety expert, I know the ideas presented by Suzann in this book need to be embraced and used by every parent on the planet!
I say this because I know that confident kids are less of a target for childhood predators of any kind. Confidence is learned from and nurtured by, parents. Mom and Dad need to be the best they can be before they have a prayer of teaching their child to be the best they can be - and this book will do just that.

When I started teaching with Suzann over ten years ago, I was blown away by her uncanny ability to inspire and enthuse her students, and found myself learning alongside them. Just watching her draw the true voice out of nervous, timid students who truly felt they had none, was an education in itself – and I’m not ashamed to say that I borrowed many of her techniques for my own classes.
As both musician and university lecturer, I know the importance of truly communicating and connecting with your audience – and how important finding your own voice is to achieving your goals in any sphere of life. What I learnt from Suzann has stayed with me, and proved just as useful from behind the lectern as it did onstage.
Suzann is a wonderfully generous human being: she is truly the teacher’s teacher.

This woman rocks! Suzann Rye really knows her stuff.
Years of stage experience and goodwill to share freely shines through every single page of this amazing book.
Rye takes you by the hand and leads you safely through the ins and outs of stage performance - adding to your confidence every step of the way. VERY comprehensive - and entertaining too!
Brilliant - an absolute must have for stage performers of all levels!

I have had the pleasure and privilege to work with Suzann Rye in studio and live concert situations at the „Musik og Teaterhøjskolen“ (college for music and theater studies) in Denmark.
Her dedication and professionalism to her students has been admired by the entire faculty and most of all her students. Her „Dream Character Program“, designed to help the students perform better and develop overall inner peace and confidence, was an integral part of both her vocal and self-development classes. Even after a grueling touring day, Suzann was never tired to spend hours with her students for a Dream Character Session.
Suzann Rye is a remarkable, inspirational and a fantastic individual.

Winning Voices:


DISCOVERING TRUE POTENTIAL

For a long time I suffered from low self-esteem and a fear of facing other people.
I wanted to be a singer but I had no belief in myself. The thought of performing on stage terrified me!

Then I stared working with Suzann. We were about 40 people in a group.
I noticed that something extraordinary was happening. Suzann was gradually leading us to a totally new way of expressing ourselves. Instead of merely focusing on the technical stuff she was showing us how to face our fears relating to our voices - the very thing that forces our voices to stay silent.
For me, my worst fear was always people judging me and thinking ill of me.
Suzann helped me face that fear.

I now enjoy life as a performer. I am calm and comfortable on stage and I no longer make myself „small“.
I recommend anyone who’d have the chance to work with Suzann and most certainly read her book. As with anything else she does, she has pored her heart and soul into it. Reading it is like having Suzann right there in the room with you.
And if you ask me; that’s a chance you don’t want to miss"!

Gunnar Gunnerson, Former Student, Healer, Performer.

 


I am speechless! And not because Suzann cautioned me to rest my voice—but because she took her valuable time to address my specific problems and with such depth and knowledge.

What a treasure she is to those of us fortunate enough to have her as our teacher. Her advice took me far beyond what might NEVER have happened had I gone on without it. Her complete mentoring approach is so evident in its success. All hidden stumbling blocks are all brought into the light.

Thank you Suzann from the bottom of my heart and soul for the tender, caring way you enfold your students with advice that treats the whole person—physically and emotionally. Only a truly dedicated and unselfish mentor could give from so deep within. What a blessing you truly are and I know that I am not alone in receiving your gifts. The beauty of your giving soul is gorgeous! With loving gratitude.

Elinor Pierce aka Laurie Allyn, jazz artist/vocalist.

 


I was always very nervous and insecure when performing in front of others. But working with the Dream Character gave me so much strength and confidence.
Suzann helped me understand that you can become exactly what you dream about. And you CAN get everything that you really wish for. At first I didn’t believe when she said to me; „If you see yourself as you imagine yourself on stage – it becomes real“… But she was right.
Now I feel one with my Dream Character. It no longer represents somebody that I would like to be – it simply IS me. This program is definitely something any performer should work with.
Thank you so much, Suzann!

For years I was out of touch with myself. I had very low self-esteem, felt uninspired and was afraid to ask myself the question: Why do I feel like this – what is actually missing in my life?
In the “Dream Character Program“ I found the answers that I needed. It helped me find my voice (inner AND outer). Most importantly it helped me find my own inner strength to create the life that I wanted and become happy. And I still am.

Inez Dahlbaek, Former Student.

 


Suzann is an incredibly dedicated individual. She is very conscious of herself and others and has a uncanny ability to immediately read and understand people. She is able to point out exactly what is holding you back – and what you need to do to change it.
Suzann taught me so much about myself (didn’t expect that really, when I first signed up for voice lessons…!). I’m so grateful to know her and to be able to continuously learn from her vast experience, honesty and wisdom.
I have come across very few people who posses the same qualities as her. Thank you.

Ingrid Knudsen, Former Voice & Performance Student.

 


I was taught never to set my hopes too high and, perhaps as a result of that, I’ve always had quite a skeptical attitude to life. I certainly never believed that I would have the courage to be a performer.

Then I ran into Suzann. I was a student in one of her voice classes. She encouraged me to create a picture in my mind that represented me as the artist I wanted to be.
At first I was very skeptical! But Suzann persuaded me to try anyway. You have to understand; Suzann is not like most people I’ve ever met – she’s extraordinarily positive. It’s simply impossible not be inspired by her.
She told me that I could be anything I wanted to be, as long as I believed it. She inspired me to believe in the power of mind.
It worked. It has helped me ever since to control my nerves before going on stage.

I have enormous respect for Suzann and her work. She somehow manages to make you feel special.
She makes you realize that you deserve to follow your dreams - that your can and should follow them.

Mia Louise Andresen,, Former student

 


A few years ago I was a very different person that I am now. I had very low self-esteem. I felt something deep inside of me, an urge to LIVE, to BE more and to express what I felt was my true self to the world – but I was afraid.

Then I came across a voice workshop run by Suzann. My life has never since been the same. What I learned in that workshop (and the following three) completely set me on a totally new course.

Suzann Rye is the most amazing teacher I have ever come across. She has the ability to build on people’s confidence beyond anything you could possibly imagine. She literally helped me change my whole life around.

Suzann’s work goes far beyond the boundaries of just teaching people how to use their voice. For the first time in my life I experienced what it meant to really be heard. I discovered potential within myself that far exceeded any expectations I had when I first went for voice training.

I am now a very successful coach in my own right. I have gone from being a stay at home wife and mom – to running several successful businesses, being involved with a state funded project for challenged kids, being headhunted for a huge overseas venture, and setting up a TV show! My life has literally transformed - all in a few years time.

Suzann made me explore endless possibilities, and gave me the confidence and self-belief that I needed to grow.

I’m not ever going back to that fearful person that I once was – I’m gonna live life FULLY for the rest of my days! I found MY voice.

Sue Kemp, Entrepreneur, Coach and Counselor.

 


Suzann is in a league of her own. Her depth and warmth is truly extraordinary. To work with her or to simply be in her presence is like sitting in the sunshine with your eyes closed, feeling the glowing warm sensation flowing through your entire being. She is a wonderful human being with a huge heart. She simply radiates pure love. I am so proud to be part of her life!
