Here are some organizations I've trained to communicate more effectively!
I coach because
You have so many opportunities to speak! And I give you tailored speaking techniques, so you nail them!
What sets me apart
I’m not another run-of-the-mill coach with vague, one-size-fits-all advice like “sound engaging” or “slow down.”
I stand apart as an effective coach by telling you exactly how to do these things, with unmatched attention to detail.
For example, you’ll learn:
-
- Speaking techniques – 2 specific techniques that mask nerves, 3 that boost credibility, 2 that clarify messages, 2 that slow you down, 1 that increases audience engagement, 3 that increase influence,…
- Lighting setup (for online interviews) – 3 adjustments that greatly enhance quality
- Sound quality (for online interviews) – 2 absolutely critical must-do’s for clear audio
- Body language – 5 adjustments that convey confidence, 2 that increase likeability,…
- Visual presence – 4 adjustments for your camera position and backgrounds,…
My approach
My approach is extremely unique; I break down every element of your speech, visual appearance, body language, and even your A/V setup. And I uncover specific habits and patterns that hold you back.
Then I give you hyper-specific feedback, followed up with one-of-a-kind personalized speaking techniques that make you stand out.
It’s a tailored approach other coaches don’t offer (or even see).
Your outcome
Every client I coach is shocked by…
- How quickly my feedback pinpoints nuances they were unaware of
- How straightforward the adjustments are
- How impactful the changes are.
Right away…
- People are more receptive to your messages
- You come across as more capable
- And you boost your professional image
Then your outcome: You nail company podcasts, keynote speeches, speaker panels, customer presentations, seminars, networking events, investor pitches,…
And why am I hired…
With more experience than others and with a proven track record of success, my clients consistently stand out and score big every time they speak and present.
It’s training you simply won’t find anywhere else.
Today, I spend my time coaching executives, politicians, and authors around the world, helping them look & sound fabulous! I also provide training to organizations, delivering super positive results for clients, including Google, Microsoft, Citibank, and CNN.

“I have been a professional speaker for 45 years and more than 5,000 events, and watching David give a presentation on “how to speak publicly”, I learned things that will even greatly strengthen my effectiveness as a speaker. If you are a speaker, podcast host, corporate executive, I highly recommend you work with David Goldberg before your next presentation. He will increase your effectiveness by 1000%”

My Background
Born with hearing issues, I was a very delayed speaker and learned techniques that helped me communicate.
Over time, I developed a series of speaking techniques and ultimately found success as a musician.
I began playing piano and drums. During grade school, I sold my Matchbox car collection to buy a MIDI keyboard. Soon after I was performing with an all-adult orchestra for the show, Godspell. By high school, my bedroom was full of keyboards, keytars, and drums. In college, I bought a 4-track recorder and began recording and mixing local bands, leading to the creation of Edge Studio!
After college, I engineered at a major studio, worked on multiple albums with Deep Purple, learned to twirl drumsticks from Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel’s drummer – see photo), and recorded José Feliciano, Joe Lynn Turner, and Gary Moore.
Simultaneously, my own Edge Studio was expanding to national acts. Eventually, I was co-writing and playing with John Mayer (keys, drums, recording, and mixing), mixing for Mel Tormé, and releasing over 150 albums!
In 2007, due to a nutso drug scene (the other musicians, not me), I pivoted Edge Studio from recording music to recording voiceover. And Edge Studio V2 was born!
I live in Connecticut with my wife Jessica, our 2 sons Harrison and Benjamin, and our 2 snorty English bulldogs Spots and Mabel. 4:30am each day, you’ll find me running or biking somewhere. If you won’t join me there, then join me at Edge 🙂
“One of my favorite speakers to date! Not only because of how well the information was presented, but because of how actionable and important this is.”
– Jenny, Vistage member
“Although I primarily work in Japanese, I found so much of the advice applicable across languages, and I feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend. I would love to participate again if given the chance in the future. Thank you once again for a wonderful session!”
