Here are a collections of reviews and recommendations about David:
Testimonial from a participant in a Warrior with Words Workshop at International Business School, September 2018:
"In a very short time, David helped me to be much more aware of myself when I am caught in a moment where I am the centre of attention or need to make a genuine impression on someone. With some subtle changes, I was able to not only come across more confident but actually feel like it. Now I don't feel like I'm tripping through tense moments, I feel like I'm in control of them."
Review from LinkedIn by a Vienna, Austria based client, David helped to prepare for a University Alumni Presentation in July 2019:
"I worked with David for a number of sessions to prepare for an upcoming talk in front of a bigger crowd (which I was incredibly nervous about) and it definitely paid off! David wasn't just great at giving me pointers on how to improve my body language, breath work and performance but also worked on a strategic level and helped me come up with the contents of my talk. He was also a great confidence booster, pushed me past my comfort zone and really took great time and care to ensure that I achieved the best possible outcome. Definitely recommend working together with David, he's fantastic at what he does :)"
Review from Facebook from a Canberra, Australia based client from 1-to-1 sessions we have over 4 months, April 2020:
"I highly recommend David and the personal attention he brings to his sessions. I received some support in voice coaching so that I had more confidence to speak fluently on Facebook lives, public speaking and talking in general. The tips I received were very helpful and made a huge difference to the flow, purpose in my speech and tones I use in my voice. Thank you so much for your wisdom and guidance."
Review from LinkedIn by a Chicago, USA based client from 1-to-1 sessions we had over 3 months, September 2020:
"David is a brilliant speech mentor. He integrates beautifully between his various professional backgrounds and between performance and emotional aspects of public speaking. His personality can bring you to new horizons in public speaking. For me, what was the most wonderful with David's support is that he was able to quickly understand my message and underline the specific points that need improvement and helped me take my performance skills a few levels up. David is always available and always tells you what is shining and what needs to be polished. He understands the needs excellently, whether they are presentation, speech, and accent, personal emotional aspects, and posture. I believe one needs to collect good mentors through his\ her life, and you want David to be one of them."
Review from Facebook by a Vienna, Austria based client from 1-to-1 sessions we had over 12 months, December 2020:
"David is an outstanding public speaking and voice coach, he is open-minded, friendly and customizes each session to his clients’ needs. Creative games, book suggestions, voice exercises and so much more are in his professional toolbox. David’s expertise was key in building up my social media presence and feeling well prepared about a workshop I gave. If you have a speaking opportunity coming up or if you want to improve your communication skills, I would definitely recommend David!"
Review from LinkedIn by a Vienna, Austria based not-for-profit organisation Ashoka, David has worked annually over the last 4 years:

I would highly recommend David if you wish to improve your public speaking confidence and skills."
