Who will benefit: Anyone with a softer/higher-pitched voice, women with common habits like upspeak/hedging (statistically more prevalent), and anyone struggling to be heard/taken seriously.

Most business people are not concerned with 2 things that customers are concerned with: wording and prosody. The moment you command both, you’ll instantly influence greater buy-in from colleagues and customers, increasing promotion and sales.
Take in what David demonstrates: his breakthrough, industry-leading approach to strategic wording and speaking strategies is used by thousands of leaders and politicians.
He’ll quickly address word choice strategies, quirky speaking habits, nerves during public speaking, intonation, pacing, spacing, filler words, speech openings and closings, conveying confidence, and audience engagement.
David’s proven techniques help leaders around the world enhance their professional image, make people more receptive to their message, and consistently deliver their A‑game in boardroom meetings, business podcasts, customer presentations, investor pitches, recruiter interviews, keynote speeches, seminars, panels, networking events, elevator pitches, and more.

Instantly signal you’re at the top of your game.
What it’s about: Most people don’t realize that their online presence forms snap judgments about their competence.
We offer a hands-on Virtual Presence workshop, backed by testing and research, that teaches your team to each master the 5 overlooked tech elements (lighting, mic, audio clarity/noise control, framing, background).
In one focused session, they’ll learn to adjust their setup so they instantly project “I’ve got my act together”—at every virtual meeting, presentation, talk, interview, and pitch.
People who’ve taken this say it’s their best investment for high-stakes virtual presence.
Who will benefit:
Professionals, health care workers, engineers, volunteers, politicians, nonprofit managers—anyone who works remotely or interacts regularly on Zoom or virtual chat environments, who wants to come across in the best light consistently. (Excuse the pun) If you ever run or attend virtual meetings, interviews, sales calls, coaching sessions, or online classes, you’ll leave knowing exactly what to tweak to upgrade your on-screen impression. Whether you participate or just observe, you will learn what it takes to improve your image.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
See yourself as others see you: By ignoring how you come across online, people may perceive you to have significantly less credibility, and therefore, you risk your message being lost due to poor first impressions. You’ll walk away with an accurate image of your virtual presence and a short checklist you can run before any important call.
Put your best foot forward:
You’ll learn to create an environment that reflects well on you, and how to look and sound good online. Minor adjustments to sound, lighting, and background will help people focus on your ideas instead of your setup. Know the technology: You don’t have to be a techie to adapt your sound and lighting technology to your advantage. You’ll be a pro in just one hour, because we focus on a few smart upgrades and settings, not a pile of gadgets, so changes feel realistic and sustainable.
Get your ideas across and build trust. Studies on video collaboration report that regular, camera-on participants find it easier to build trust and collaborate effectively—yet many professionals still appear on screen in ways that distract from their
message.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I didn’t realize how I was weakening my image every time I was on-line.! Wow, what an
eye-opener! Now I have a simple setup that makes me look like I know what I’m doing.”

image by 1,000%! My teachers and interviewers actually comment on how professional
I seem now.”
– Harrison G. – Teenage Student – Industry: College Application
“I’m in sales, so making a strong first impression is everything for me. This workshop
showed me how to put my best foot forward in simple steps consistently. It’s like having
a personal producer for every virtual call.”
– Brook Lynn Q. – Salesperson – Industry: Facility Operations
Why learn it here: You may spend more time meeting clients and colleagues online
than in person every day, so the same care that goes into those interactions should be
reflected in your online presence. Here at Edge Studio, we manage the details of what it
takes to show up well online for our clients—from the audio and lighting technology, to
the role that appearance and background play in forming positive perceptions. Bridging
the gap between image and impact is our specialty—something you won’t find with
other generic tech or presentation training programs.

Learn to set up and lead virtual meetings using speaking and presence techniques that
keep you grounded on camera, increase engagement, and improve effectiveness.

communication: strategic wording, speaking patterns, and presence. David offers rapid,
hyper-specific tweaks so you can see and hear the difference on screen.
Who will benefit: CEOs, entrepreneurs, salespeople, marketing managers, and
anyone who presents or runs online meetings.

How it will help you:
Become known for running meetings people value: When your meetings are clearer, shorter, and more purposeful, participants are more likely to prepare, contribute, and follow through—leaders who communicate well see higher engagement and
performance from their teams. Increase efficiency and reduce meeting fatigue: By matching speaking style and
format to the goal, you cut down on repetition, side conversations, and unclear endings—addressing pain points that many organizations link to poor collaboration in remote and hybrid work. Lead with stronger speaking skills: Treating every meeting as a speaking opportunity helps you intentionally shape your role, your message, and the environment, so you
come across as organized, decisive, and fair—qualities consistently associated with leadership readiness.

sessions genuinely useful for everyone in the room.”

Why learn it here:
We specialize in what most meeting courses skip: the speaking behaviors that shape attention, tone, and outcomes once the agenda is set. Instead of discussing only content and ground rules, we take you through that last—but critical—step of refining how you sound, how you frame ideas, and how you manage the room or screen, so meetings end with clear decisions and stronger relationships. Our
approach builds on proven speaking and presence techniques used in executive, sales, and virtual speaking programs, and is explicitly tailored for meetings.

23 speaking skills for company-wide messaging.
Shaky voices, nerves, talking in circles, accented voices, rushing your message, sounding stiff, sounding unnatural,… Is this how you want your business represented?
Of course not.
From reception (when new customers decide if they’ll stick around) to sales (when they decide if they’ll fork over $), what—and especially how—your team speaks dictates success.
Yet 98% of people who speak on behalf of your company (reception, sales floor, greeters, events, customer service,…) are not trained on how to best greet, persuade, negotiate, train, pitch, promote, and … yes, sell.
Speaking strategies. This critical skill is left behind. Weird.
Well this is where I come in: I teach your team how to come across significantly more impactful with customer service, sales, upset buyers, networking floors, and reception.
Here’s what I fix: Shaky voices, nerves, talking in circles, accented voices, rushing your message, sounding stiff, sounding unnatural,… Everyone learns how to come across with clearly, with competence, on their A-game, and representing your business very, very well.
Amazingly, our voice is the #1 way to connect with customers, and these days, it’s key to tailor your message to the platform. So we also cover speaking in-person, online, and at events.
The goal? Every time your team speaks on behalf of your business, your business will come across more favorably.

This is our most popular corporate seminar:
What if a single, easy-to-learn speaking skill could win over customers? Would it be worth having your team learn it?
Well when someone says “no,” it’s often because of how something was said, not just what was said.

A simple pause that gets you better outcomes from every conversation.
This one-hour introductory seminar teaches the core of David Goldberg’s Signature 6-Second Method: pausing briefly to take in the room, the people, and the situation, and adjust what you say and how you say it., Participants see how a single, deliberate pause can change their word choices, tone, and presence, making them sound more thoughtful, confident, and in control. Studies on conversational pauses suggest that even brief silences increase perceptions of clarity and credibility, while rapid-fire responses and “blurting” are often rated as less trustworthy.
The book it’s based upon:
This seminar provides a practical preview of the full 6 Second Method described in David Goldberg’s book, showing how six seconds of focused attention can reshape what you say, how you say it, and how you are perceived in any setting. 6 Seconds to Say It Better: Hold on, think first—how you say it can make or break you, explains why a 6-second pause is helpful to:
Who will benefit:
Leaders, managers, and team members who tend to jump in too quickly, interrupt, or talk in circles before getting to the point. Customer-facing professionals, trainers, salespeople, and subject-matter experts who want to sound more intentional, thoughtful, and composed in high-pressure conversations, meetings, and Q&A.
What you’ll learn: The core steps of the 6-Second Method:
How it will help you:
Better decisions in the moment: A short, deliberate pause gives your “thinking brain” time to catch up, so you respond with more precise, more considered answers instead of reactive comments you regret later; research on communication anxiety shows that
simple, repeatable strategies like this can significantly lower perceived stress when speaking.
Stronger trust and respect: In audience studies, speakers who allow brief, intentional pauses are rated as more composed and easier to follow than those who rush, which directly affects how seriously their ideas are taken and how credible they appear.
Less conflict, more progress: By reading the room before speaking, you reduce interruptions, misunderstandings, and emotional flare-ups, and keep conversations moving toward solutions instead of arguments—addressing dynamics that surveys link to a large share of workplace communication breakdowns.
The pause forces you to think before speaking: Although they have written an entire book about what you need to process in those 6 seconds, this workshop will give you a quick peek into the process and how important it is.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I never realized how much trouble I caused by jumping in too quickly. The 6-second
pause gave me a simple way to slow down, and suddenly my meetings feel calmer and
more productive.”
– Mark R. – Operations Director – Industry: Manufacturing
“This method showed me exactly what to do with those few seconds before I answer a
tough question. I sound more confident, and people actually listen instead of bracing for
a long explanation.”
– Alicia T. – Senior Manager – Industry: Healthcare
“I started using the 6-second pause with clients and it changed everything. I interrupt
less, I hear more, and my responses land better.”
– Jordan K. – Account Executive – Industry: Professional Services
Why learn it here:
Developed over decades of coaching more than 10,000
professionals, David Goldberg’s 6 Second Method is known for turning vague advice like“think before you speak” into concrete, real-time behaviors that participants can see, hear, and practice on the spot—applied live with detailed feedback that is difficult to find
in standard presentation-skills programs. This is a proprietary, highly specific methodology available nowhere else.

Who will benefit: Professionals whose accent, speaking patterns, or phrasing sometimes lead to confusion in meetings, presentations, or calls. Customer-facing staff, technical experts, and leaders who communicate across regions or cultures and want

then offers alternative wording and delivery suggestions that boost clarity, reduce conflict, and build rapport quickly. Participants receive live, hyper-specific microcoaching on their own speech—something most public speaking or accent classes rarely provide.

We are also familiar with the neurological research behind Emotional Intelligence, which measures human responses to stimuli in 6
seconds. With 38 years of experience training and coaching speakers of all kinds, this is the place to learn how to make an impact with your wording, voicing, and presentation skills.

5 techniques that grab attention quickly for Interviewing & Networking.
What it’s about: A focused session on how to compose and deliver an elevator pitch you can use when people ask, “What do you do?” or “What does your company do?” that paints you in a positive light every time.
Who will benefit: CEOs, entrepreneurs, salespeople, marketing managers, and anyone who wants more effective responses to questions about themselves or their organization. David’s workshops use real volunteers, quickly diagnosing their speaking patterns and offering hyper-specific wording and delivery changes that participants can apply on the spot.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Clarity that connects: Clear, concise explanations reduce the risk of prospects walking away unsure of what you actually do—an issue many leaders link to lost deals and missed opportunities.
A pitch to remember: Your elevator pitch will sound more focused, more natural, and more effortless for others to remember.
A way to remember what works: By building a cache (or database) of words and phrases that have worked in the past, it’s easy to remember how to say them the next time.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“After following David’s easy-to-follow directions, I now have a reserve of proven phrases and descriptors of my business that I can ‘cut and paste’ when someone asks me what I do or what my company’s all about.”

Prepare for inevitable technical glitches and human slip-ups—and learn simple recovery
strategies that show you’re in control and even boost how engaging and credible you appear.
What it’s about: This is a course every speaker needs 1 time. This workshop shows you how to recover smoothly from everyday speaking mishaps so they don’t derail your message or damage your credibility—whether you are talking one-on-one, on camera, or in front of a crowd. You will learn practical ways to handle tongue-ties, blanking on a name, losing your place, awkward jokes, shaky eye contact, and even tripping on your way to the stage or facing technical glitches with mics, slides, or platforms. Communication research suggests that audiences usually forgive minor errors quickly; it is the recovery—not the mistake—that most strongly shapes how competent, calm, and likable you appear.
Who will benefit: Professionals who worry about messing up in front of clients, colleagues, or senior leaders. Speakers, trainers, and presenters who want to feel confident that they can handle anything—missed lines, tech failures, or clumsy moments—without losing the room.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
You won’t react to mistakes: You will learn to treat mistakes as chances to show composure and authenticity, which research links to higher likability and trust when the speaker is otherwise competent.
Recovery, not perfection: Studies of public speakers show that audiences remember how you handle a mistake more than the mistake itself, and that graceful recovery can preserve or even boost perceived likability and competence.
Less fear, more focus: When you know exactly what to do after a flub or tech failure, public speaking anxiety drops; researchers link reduced anxiety to better delivery and clearer messages in high-pressure situations.
Stronger professional image: Consistently handling mishaps with calm, clear wording and steady presence helps others see you as poised, resilient, and reliable under pressure.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I used to panic when I forgot a point or stumbled on a word; now I have a simple recovery script, and nobody fixates on the mistake.”
– Elena M. – Communications Manager – Industry: Nonprofit
“My slide deck froze during a client presentation, and for the first time, I knew exactly how to respond. We laughed, reset, and still closed the deal.”
– Marcus J. – Account Director – Industry: Professional Services
“This workshop showed me that audiences remember how you handle a mistake more than the mistake itself. I feel much freer and more natural when I speak.”
– Lauren P. – Department Chair – Industry: Higher Education
Why learn it here: Edge Studio’s approach focuses on specific recovery moves for your wording, vocal delivery, and body language rather than vague advice like “stay calm” or “be confident.” David Goldberg draws on decades of experience coaching speakers through live mishaps, showing you exactly what to say, how to sound, and how to look in the seconds after something goes wrong—skills most public speaking courses barely touch. You will see live demonstrations and get in-the-moment coaching on your own “worst case” scenarios, using techniques that are highly specific to Edge Studio’s training style and not commonly found elsewhere. You won’t see this level of detail in most generic presentation training courses.

15 ways to shape your words, voice, and presence so every person in the room is engaged and feels included.
What it’s about: This is a practical workshop for people who already know what they want to say and need to learn how to deliver it so it truly lands with a room full of listeners. You will be guided through the stages of a formal talk or keynote—from opening to close—while focusing on strategic word choices, vocal delivery, and stage presence rather than generic “public speaking tips.” Research shows that vocal variety, clear structure, and strong nonverbal presence all play significant roles in how well audiences retain and act on a message.
Who will benefit:
Professionals who give keynotes, breakout sessions, all-hands updates, client presentations, or investor pitches to medium or large audiences. Founders, executives, team leaders, sales presenters, educators, and subject-matter experts who want to sound more polished, engaging, and authoritative whenever they step to a podium or onto a stage.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Greater impact in large rooms: By combining clear structure with strategic vocal variety and movement, you increase the odds that audiences retain your key message and can repeat it later, a standard benchmark of keynote success.
More polished, confident delivery: Concrete adjustments to your wording, pacing, and stage use help you project confidence; research links a strong, well-modulated speaking voice to higher ratings of leadership potential.
Greater speaker opportunities: As you become more effective in front of larger groups, you are more likely to be invited for higher-profile talks, panels, and keynotes.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“David helped me turn a dense, technical keynote into something that felt natural and kept a 500-person audience engaged the whole time.”
– Rachel K., Chief Product Officer – Industry: Technology
“I finally understood how to use my voice and movement on a big stage instead of hiding behind the lectern. The feedback was incredibly specific.”
– Tom B., Senior Vice President – Industry: Financial Services
“This was the first speaking workshop that went beyond slide design and ‘don’t fidget’ to show exactly how to phrase things and deliver them so the room actually listens.”
– Simone D., Director of Communications – Industry: Healthcare
Why learn it here: Unlike many public speaking courses that emphasize only content and basic body language, this workshop uses our proprietary Wording, Voice, & Presence approach that drills into the specifics of wording, prosody, and stage use as three separate—but coordinated—skills. You will see and experience David Goldberg’s highly detailed coaching on phrasing, vocal patterns, and movement, including his signature on-the-spot adjustments that can completely change how a line feels to an audience. This level of specificity is rare in large-group speaking programs and is a core reason organizations send their leaders and presenters to us.
Most public speaking courses touch lightly on presence and voice; here, words, voice, and presence are treated as distinct disciplines, giving you an unusually detailed toolkit that participants say they have not encountered elsewhere. Speakers often report that Edge’s session was the first time anyone broke down exactly how to phrase, voice, and stage a line so that a large room actually stays with them.

Learn speaking & presence skills to succeed with teachers, mentors, and employers.
What it’s about: Thriving with Teachers, Mentors, & Employers is a practical, real-world workshop that shows teens and young adults how to communicate confidently with the adults who influence their future—teachers, professors, advisors, recruiters, supervisors, and other “higher-ups.”
These skills are critical for success in school, college, on teams, and at work—yet they are rarely taught directly. Teens are often expected to “pick it up” from parents, peers, teachers, clergy, and family, figuring it out as they go rather than having a clear framework. As AI and automation grow, the ability to build human relationships—through conversations, meetings, and video calls—has become one of the strongest predictors of long-term success.
Training in speaking and presence can lead to significantly better outcomes with professional image, political awareness (what to say and what not to say), and how students come across in terms of confidence and clarity. This course helps students master those human interactions now, while the stakes are still manageable and habits are still flexible.
Instead of vague “be respectful” advice, this workshop focuses on the specific wording, tone, and presence that make you sound mature, approachable, and easy to support. Participants learn how to ask for help, push back respectfully, handle feedback, and follow up in ways that build trust and advocacy, not friction.
Who will benefit: High-school students navigating relationships with teachers, coaches, counselors, and program directors. College and trade-school students interacting with professors, advisors, internship coordinators, and supervisors. Young adults in early jobs or internships who want better relationships with managers, team leads, and senior colleagues. Parents who want their kids to be taken seriously by adults will also see the value.
This workshop pairs naturally with Interviewing Techniques for Teens—first you learn how to get opportunities, then you learn how to keep and grow them through stronger everyday interactions.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Better results with adults who matter: When you know what to say and how to say it, professors are more willing to help, supervisors are more likely to trust you with responsibility, and mentors are more eager to advocate for you behind the scenes.
Less anxiety, more control: Having ready-to-use phrases and patterns for tough moments—asking for clarification, owning a mistake, or responding to criticism—turns intimidating adult conversations into manageable, predictable steps.
A reputation for maturity and professionalism: Over time, you build a track record for showing up prepared, communicating clearly, listening attentively, and following through. Adults start to see you as someone who “gets it,” which often leads to better references, stronger recommendations, and invitations to new opportunities.
Skills that outlast any app or algorithm: Human relationships—built through trust, listening, and clear conversation—are exactly the skills AI can’t replace. Learning them now gives students an advantage in school, work, and every future transition.
What other teens and parents are saying about this workshop:
“Talking to teachers and supervisors used to freak me out. Now I know how to start the conversation, what to say if I mess up, and how to ask for help without sounding scared or rude.”
– Aidan S., 16 – High-School Student
“I watched my daughter go from avoiding office hours to actually setting up meetings with her professors. She finally has phrases she can use instead of just hoping the right words come out.”
– Renee M., Parent of College Freshman
“I used what we practiced with my manager after I made a mistake at work. Instead of getting in trouble, we talked about a plan—and she told me she appreciated how I handled it.”
– Imani J., 19 – Part-Time Employee
“As a parent, I was impressed that the class focused on real situations—emails, Zoom calls, one-on-ones—and gave my son exact wording to try. His confidence with adults has changed completely.”
– Carlos V., Parent of High-School Junior
Why learn it here: This workshop builds on Edge Studio’s long history of coaching young voices for auditions, public speaking, and on-mic performance, giving teens and young adults specific, practical feedback on how they actually sound to adults—not just how they think they sound.
Instead of generic “be respectful” or “be professional” advice, participants get step-by-step guidance on word choice, prosody (rhythm, pace, tone), and presence (gestures, posture, eye contact, handshakes) in the exact situations they face with teachers, professors, employers, and mentors.
Our programs for adults have already helped thousands of professionals communicate more clearly and confidently; this workshop adapts those same proven techniques to the real-world interactions young people have every week, so they start building strong advocacy and long-term relationships early.

Build practical speaking skills that reduce misunderstandings, remove barriers at work, and help your accented English be heard clearly and confidently.
What it’s about: A practical, skills-based workshop that helps professionals who speak English as an additional language sound clearer, more confident, and easier to understand in everyday business situations—meetings, presentations, and virtual calls. A 2024 meta-analysis on accent bias found that candidates with “standard” accents are rated as more hirable and more competent than those with foreign or regional accents, especially in roles that demand a lot of communication.
Who will benefit: Professionals in India with global roles whose accent, speed, or phrasing sometimes leads to confusion in English. Technical experts, managers, customer-facing staff, and founders who want their ideas—not their pronunciation—to stand out in interviews, client calls, and internal meetings.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
No more repeats: Even modest improvements in clarity can cut repeated explanations and follow-up messages by 20–30%, freeing time and reducing friction with colleagues and clients.
Put it into practice right now: You will leave with a personal practice plan and a small set of “go-to” techniques you can apply immediately to build trust faster, be invited into more strategic conversations, and increase your chances of promotion by making your ideas easier to hear and remember.
Get the respect you deserve: Participants often report feeling noticeably more respected and included once their message is easier to follow—which can accelerate relationship-building and make promotions more likely over time.
What others are saying about this workshop:
Learning to speak more clearly in this session was an “eye-opener with specific and detailed advice—the best I’ve ever heard. It was not like generic accent-reduction or public-speaking classes I have tried elsewhere.”
– Geoffrey S. – News Anchor – Industry: Broadcasting
“This workshop focused primarily on what to change, why it matters, and how to do it in a supportive, safe environment.”
– Gerhardt B. – CEO – Industry: Trade Association
“Edge has a long track record of helping non-native English speakers worldwide; this workshop brings that specialized expertise to India in a format you won’t find in generic accent or “public speaking” classes. We are delighted to welcome them to India.”
– Ricah S. – Small Business Owner – Industry: Retailing
Why learn it here: Edge Studio instructors focus on small, targeted adjustments rather than “fixing” your accent, so you can communicate naturally while being understood the first time. Highly interactive, this workshop’s participants get feedback to “hear things no one else has pointed out” and then give a few specific changes that make an immediate difference in how clients and colleagues respond.

Learn evidence-based speaking techniques to strengthen bedside manner and build trust—so you can boost patient understanding, satisfaction, and adherence, contributing to significantly improved outcomes.
What it’s about: Boost Your Bedside Manner is a practical workshop for doctors, nurses, therapists, and other health care professionals who speak with patients and families who are in pain, anxious, or overwhelmed. You will learn how to choose words, tone, and pacing that make complex information easier to understand, while your eye contact, presence, and use of a microphone or camera (for telehealth) help patients feel calmer and more supported. Studies in health care settings show that strong clinician–patient communication can raise patient satisfaction scores by 20–30% and is consistently linked to better adherence and outcomes, especially when patients are under stress.
Who will benefit: Clinicians and staff who regularly interact with patients and families—physicians, nurses, PAs, NPs, social workers, therapists, and front-line coordinators. Health care leaders, educators, and practice managers want their teams to communicate with clarity, empathy, and composure in difficult conversations.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Better patient understanding: Clearer words, calmer tone, and intentional presence help patients and families absorb what you say the first time, reducing repeated explanations and contributing to the communication gains that studies estimate can cut costly misunderstandings by 20–30%.
Less stress in tough conversations: Having specific tools for how to sound and look during high-emotion moments makes difficult discussions—diagnoses, changes of plan, delays—less draining for you and more manageable for patients.
Stronger team and patient trust: When your whole care team speaks with consistency and clarity, patients are more likely to feel safe and listened to, and colleagues can rely on cleaner, more accurate communication day to day.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“This gave our team concrete ways to sound calm and clear even on the busiest days—patients notice the difference right away.”
– Karen L – Nurse Manager – Industry: Health Care (hospital)
“I finally have language and tone tools for conversations I used to dread. Families are less confused and more trusting.”
– Dr. Omar R. – Pediatrician – Industry: Health Care (clinic)
“Our telehealth visits feel more human now. Small shifts in wording, voice, and camera presence changed how patients respond.”
– Ashley P. – Behavioral Health Counselor – Industry: Health Care (telehealth)
Why learn it here: This session applies our approach directly to medical conversations, focusing not on what treatment decisions you make but on how you explain, reassure, and respond in the moment. David Goldberg is known for hyper-specific coaching on phrasing, vocal patterns, and presence; here, that same level of detail is tailored to exam rooms, hospital corridors, family meetings, and telehealth visits. Few clinical communication courses go this deep into word choices, vocal delivery, and body language as separate skills, which is why many health professionals describe Edge’s approach as unlike anything else they have taken.

Learn how to choose words, use engaging prosody, and strengthen your presence so your storytelling is clearer and more engaging.
What it’s about: Storytelling that Lands is a practical workshop for people who already have stories to tell and want to deliver them in a way that audiences actually remember and repeat. You will focus on shaping the first line, building suspense, and landing the ending using precise word choices, vocal patterns, and presence—not on inventing plotlines or writing scripts. Research on business and data storytelling suggests that stories can make messages up to 22 times more memorable than facts alone and can boost conversion or decision rates by 30 percent or more when used well.
Who will benefit: Leaders, founders, and managers who need stories to carry strategy, culture, or change messages in meetings, town halls, and keynotes. Sales, marketing, and customer-facing professionals who want clients to remember their examples, not just their slide decks, as well as trainers, facilitators, and subject-matter experts who want to make complex content stick through stories.
What you’ll learn:
Just want to break it up a bit.
How it will help you:
More memorable messages: By pairing key points with vivid stories and clear structure, you make your ideas substantially easier to recall—studies show that well-told stories can boost memorability and decision follow-through far beyond standalone facts.
Stronger emotional connection: Well-delivered stories tap into emotions like curiosity, pride, and empathy, which research links to higher engagement, trust, and even higher conversion or buy-in rates in business settings.
Fewer flat anecdotes and jokes: With practical examples and live micro-coaching, you learn how to adjust wording, timing, and tone so your stories and light humor feel natural and land more consistently with different audiences.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I used to rush through my examples; now people quote my stories back to me weeks later. The way David broke down my opening line and climax changed everything.”
– Patricia S. – Senior Director – Industry: Technology
“I finally understood why some of my anecdotes fell flat. Tiny tweaks in wording and pacing turned them into stories that actually held a room.”
– Marcus L. Regional Sales Manager – Industry: Professional Services
“This was the first storytelling workshop that focused on how I sounded—voice, pauses, emphasis—not just on slides or hero-journey diagrams.”
– Elena V. Learning & Development Lead – Industry: Healthcare
Why learn it here: Most storytelling workshops emphasize frameworks like the hero’s journey or STAR but rarely show you exactly how to say a line so it lands; this course goes deep into delivery details such as tone, pacing, emphasis, and phrasing for each key moment in a story. David Goldberg is known for breaking down everyday stories into “Some Say:/Say It Better:” examples and using hyper-specific coaching on openings, tension, and climaxes so participants hear immediate differences in how engaging they sound. This level of concrete, line-by-line coaching on words, voice, and presence is highly unusual in business-storytelling programs, which is why organizations send leaders and sales teams here after trying more generic courses.

Learn simple wording shifts that put a constructive spin on your messages, so your audience is more receptive to you.
What it’s about: Positive Framing for Business Conversations is a practical workshop on how to choose and deliver words that consistently trigger more constructive, solution-focused responses—at work and beyond. Instead of vague “be positive” advice, you learn specific ways to lead with positive first words, flip negative phrasing, and support your message with open, encouraging body language. Research on positive communication and workplace climate links everyday wording choices to higher engagement, lower conflict, and even better performance outcomes for teams.
Who will benefit: Leaders, managers, and team members who want to reduce defensiveness, conflict, and stress in everyday communication while still addressing real problems. Customer-facing professionals, HR and people managers, project leads, and anyone who sends frequent emails, gives feedback, or runs meetings who wants their tone to build trust and cooperation instead of resistance.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Better responses, fewer flare-ups: By shifting from “don’t / can’t / won’t” language to clear, positive phrasing, you reduce defensiveness and misunderstandings—two of the biggest drivers of workplace conflict and rework.
Stronger relationships and culture: Consistent, positive wording and body language make people more willing to ask questions, share concerns, and collaborate, which is linked to higher engagement, lower turnover, and better customer experiences.
Measurable personal ROI: With the built-in “feedback loop” tools, you can track whether you’re getting more cooperation, fewer email escalations, and smoother meetings as your positive speaking habits take hold. Participants often describe noticeable improvements in how colleagues and clients respond within a few weeks.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I never realized how negative I sounded until I took David Goldberg’s course on putting a positive spin on it. He showed me how to spot those bad habits and how to reframe both my thoughts and my sentences. Now I choose positive terms, and I’ve really noticed how differently people respond to me. It’s incredible!”
– Pat G. – Project Manager – Industry: Professional Services
“Changing just a few phrases in my emails and one-on-one conversations dramatically reduced pushback from my team. The ‘Some Say:/Say It Better:’ examples made it easy to practice.”
– Jerome L., Department Head – Industry: Healthcare
“This workshop turned positivity from a vague value into a set of concrete speaking techniques I can use every day—with clients, peers, and even at home.”
– Sandra M., Customer Success Leader – Industry: Technology
Why learn it here: This workshop draws on David Goldberg’s detailed “positive tense vs. negative tense” framework and his 6-Second Method for reframing your message before you speak, developed over decades of coaching thousands of professionals. Goldberg’s approach goes far beyond generic mindset training, giving you dozens of concrete “Some Say:/Say It Better” swaps, live micro-coaching on your own phrases, and guidance on how voice, facial expression, and posture reinforce or undermine your positive wording. Participants often report that this is the first time anyone has broken positivity down into small, repeatable habits they can hear and measure in real conversations.

Strategic wording, speaking patterns, and presentation skills that impact voters.
What it’s about: This course helps candidates and elected officials speak more effectively in the key moments that matter: asking for votes, raising money, campaigning, giving speeches, handling Q&A, and making small talk with voters, donors, and the press. The focus is on how you say things—specific wording, prosody (tone, pace, emphasis), and presence—so your message sounds authentic, persuasive, and consistent across rallies, town halls, living-room conversations, and on-camera moments. Drawing on research in political communication and persuasion psychology, the course shows how clear, values-based language and credible delivery can significantly improve voter trust, message retention, and turnout.
Who will benefit: First-time and experienced candidates at local, state, or national levels who want more consistent impact whenever they speak. Campaign surrogates, officeholders preparing for town halls, and politically active leaders who need to fundraise, persuade, and build relationships with diverse audiences in person, online, and through the media.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Stronger, more consistent messages: You will develop reusable phrasing for policy frames, vote asks, and donor conversations, so your message feels consistent yet flexible across formats and audiences.
Greater trust and relatability: By combining clear benefits, credible proof, and relatable stories with a calm, grounded delivery, you make it easier for voters and donors to believe you, remember you, and recommend you to others.
More effective use of every moment: From quick hallway chats to formal speeches, you will be able to read the room, choose words that fit, and deliver them with presence—turning routine campaign interactions into opportunities to win support.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“As a first-time candidate, I was overwhelmed by advice. This course cut through the noise and focused on what I actually say at the mic, on doors, and with donors. My message is sharper, and I feel more like myself.”
– Alex M., City Council Candidate – Industry: Public Service
“The role-plays around vote asks and fundraising changed how I talk to supporters. Small tweaks in wording and tone made my conversations feel more honest and less scripted—and our response rates went up.”
– Priyanka D,. State Legislative Candidate – Industry: Law
“I’ve been in politics for years, but no one has ever coached my sentences this specifically. The emphasis on presence, pacing, and hooks for stump speeches made my events more engaging, and my media hits much tighter.”
– James R., Incumbent Representative – Industry: Government
Why learn it here: Most political training programs focus on strategy, fundraising mechanics, or generic public speaking; this course zooms in on the candidate’s actual sentences, line by line. Using the Words, Voice, & Presence approach, you work with concrete “Some Say:/Say It Better:” examples for pitches, stump speeches, donor asks, and media moments, then practice delivering them with on-the-spot coaching to adjust tone, pacing, and body language. The result is a detailed, practical toolkit for sounding clear, grounded, and relatable in both prepared remarks and unscripted interactions—something many candidates say they never received in prior campaign training.

Learn specific words and speaking techniques to handle difficult people and situations at work.
What it’s about: This course focuses on how to navigate high-stakes conversations—delivering bad news, handling complaints, calming angry people, and apologizing—so you reduce damage and preserve relationships. You learn practical, repeatable steps for choosing words, tone, and body language that de-escalate tension rather than inflame it, using specific “Some Say:/Say It Better” examples and short practice scenarios. Research on workplace conflict and service recovery shows that clear, empathetic communication can significantly improve trust, satisfaction, and long-term loyalty after difficult moments.
Who will benefit: Managers, team leaders, HR professionals, and customer-facing staff who regularly deal with conflict, complaints, or performance issues. Project leads, internal partners, and anyone who must sometimes say “no,” share difficult updates, or repair relationships at work or in client settings.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Less escalation, more resolution: With clearer, more empathetic wording and a visible plan for next steps, you reduce the chances that difficult conversations turn into ongoing conflict, complaints, or formal grievances.
Stronger trust after tough news: Handling bad news, anger, and mistakes with calm clarity and sincere apologies makes colleagues, customers, and stakeholders more likely to see you—and your organization—as fair and trustworthy over time.
Greater personal confidence: Knowing you have specific phrases, structures, and vocal strategies ready for challenging situations makes it easier to step into them sooner, address issues directly, and protect both relationships and results.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I used to avoid hard conversations or rush through them. This workshop finally gave me exact sentences to use when delivering bad news or apologizing, and the difference in how people respond is night and day.”
– Karen L., HR Director – Industry: Technology
“David showed me how to stay calm with angry clients without sounding robotic or defensive. The ‘concern, not complaint’ language and apology steps have become standard in my team’s playbook.”
– Michael S., Customer Support Manager – Industry: Financial Services
“I thought I was good at ‘soft skills’ until I heard the ‘Some Say:/Say It Better:’ examples. Hearing my own usual phrases improved on the spot was eye-opening and immediately useful back at work.”
– Denise R., Operations Leader – Industry: Healthcare
Why learn it here: Many programs talk about “staying calm” or “being empathetic,” but do not show exactly what to say when someone is upset or when you must deliver hard news. This class uses Edge’s approach to break difficult conversations into specific, coachable moves: how to frame a buffer statement, how to position a complaint as a concern, how to outline next steps for an angry person, and how to apologize in six straightforward steps. You practice real phrases out loud, adjusting tone, pacing, and posture with live coaching so you can walk into challenging situations with a concrete verbal and vocal toolkit, not just theory.

Use words, voice, and style to build trust in podcasts, pitches, interviews, & sales.
What it’s about: This session shows how to refine and use strategic wording, speaking patterns, and presence to build trust with business audiences across different formats. David is known for his uncanny ability to dissect speaking patterns, spot quirky bad habits, and give on-the-spot, hyper-specific speaking adjustments you can apply immediately.
Who will benefit: CEOs, entrepreneurs, salespeople, marketing managers, and anyone who relies on effective speaking to promote their business.

Practical, actionable tools: You will leave with practical techniques to increase speaking confidence, choose words more precisely, and adjust your voice for impact in different promotional settings.
Multiple applications: You can apply these tools immediately to strengthen elevator pitches, investor pitches, and customer presentations.
Better outcomes: Research from McKinsey and others suggests that teams with effective communication can be 20–25% more productive, and leaders who manage communication well report significant gains in performance and customer outcomes.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I had one aha experience after another. He makes it so simple—why haven’t I seen this before?”
– Donald T., COO – Industry: Agricultural Distribution
“David gives on-the-spot feedback, so that participants and viewers alike leave energized by his practical, easy-to-follow techniques.”
– Martin Q., Podcaster – Industry: Media

When you want to focus on words, voice, and presence, there is no place like this center for advanced learning.
This is offered via Zoom and in-person | Training@EdgeStudio.com
Achieve better sales outcomes through optimized word choice, speaking prosody, and presentation skills.
What it’s about: Sales Success with Strategic Pitching & Presenting is a workshop for people who already know their offer and need to say it in a way that wins attention, trust, and decisions—from first hook to final call to action. You learn how to choose power words that highlight benefits, avoid exaggerated or pushy language that kills credibility, and shape your opening, middle, and closing so the listener can easily follow and act. Research on persuasion and buyer behavior shows that clear benefits, credible proof, and confident delivery significantly increase conversion compared with vague, feature-heavy presentations.
Who will benefit: Salespeople, account managers, and business developers who pitch products or services to new and existing clients. Founders, executives, and startup teams preparing investor pitches, as well as subject-matter experts, consultants, and technical leads who must “sell” ideas, projects, or initiatives inside their organizations.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
More persuasive, less pushy pitches: By replacing hype and assumptions with specific benefits, social proof, and clear language, you increase perceived honesty and reduce resistance—key factors buyers associate with trustworthy salespeople.
Clearer structure and stronger decisions: A well-framed opening, logical middle, and confident close make it easier for listeners to understand the value, ask questions, and decide, instead of walking away “interested but unsure.”
Greater confidence in high-stakes moments: When you know your wording, prosody, and presence are working together, you can focus less on memorizing a script and more on reading the room, adapting, and building long-term relationships rather than forcing a one-time sale.
What others are saying:
“David took our investor pitch from dense and defensive to focused and confident. Small changes in wording and pace made the whole team sound more credible.”
– Leah M., Startup Co-Founder – Industry: Fintech
“I thought I needed better slides; it turned out I needed better sentences. The ‘Some Say:/Say It Better:’ approach changed how I talk about our services in every meeting.”
– Carlos R., Senior Account Executive – Industry: Professional Services
“For the first time, someone showed me what not to promise. Pulling back the exaggeration actually made clients trust me more and close faster.”
– Dana W., Regional Sales Manager – Industry: Healthcare
Why learn it here: While many pitching courses focus on slide decks or generic “tell a story, show the value” advice, this workshop drills down into line-by-line choices: what to say, what to avoid saying, and how to sound when you say it. David Goldberg’s approach blends concrete “Some Say:/Say It Better” examples, the three pillars of persuasion (ethos, pathos, logos), and real-time micro-coaching on prosody—pace, pause, emphasis, and tone—so you hear the difference between a flat pitch and one that feels confident and compelling. Participants consistently note that this level of specificity in wording, vocal delivery, and presence goes well beyond standard sales or investor-pitch programs.

lecture or interactive
1-hour, half-day, or full-day masterclass
Equip CEOs, executives, and managers to build stronger first impressions, greater buy-in, enhanced credibility, team alignment, and trust from colleagues and customers using proven speaking and presence strategies.
What it’s about: This highly interactive seminar is designed for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and senior executives who speak frequently and now want to be consistently compelling—on camera, online, on stage, on a call, or in person. Using the 4 Ps framework (Prepare, Phrase, Prosody, Present), you’ll see how targeted changes in wording, vocal delivery, and presence directly increase trust with stakeholders, clarity with teams, and perceived leadership strength.
Research on executive communication shows that leaders who speak with clarity, confidence, and consistent messaging are rated significantly higher on trustworthiness and are more likely to drive alignment and action from their organizations. Every interaction—from a board meeting to a one-on-one with an employee—is an opportunity to either reinforce or undermine confidence in your leadership.
Who will benefit: CEOs and C-suite executives building or refining their leadership voice, entrepreneurs and founders pitching internally and externally, business owners preparing for media, board, and investor conversations, and emerging leaders preparing for higher-visibility roles.
What you’ll learn:
Preparing:
Phrasing (Strategic Word Choices):
Prosody (Voice & Delivery):
THE IRONY: Your voice is the most direct connection you have with your audience, yet you probably haven’t considered how they perceive it.
Presenting (Presence & Impact):
How it will help you:
Stronger leadership presence: When your words, tone, and body language are aligned, you look and sound like someone who knows what they’re doing and where they’re going—a critical factor in how teams, boards, and investors evaluate your readiness for bigger responsibilities.
Better business outcomes: Clear, confident communication reduces misunderstandings, speeds up decision-making, and improves execution because teams know exactly what’s expected and why it matters. Leaders who communicate with clarity and emotional intelligence see higher engagement, lower turnover, and stronger alignment on strategy.
Career acceleration: When you consistently communicate at the highest level—whether in board meetings, media interviews, investor updates, or company town halls—you become a natural choice for expanded roles, board seats, and higher-visibility opportunities.
What executives are saying about this workshop:
“I thought my ideas were the problem. This workshop showed me it was how I was delivering them. Small changes in pacing, pausing, and wording made my messages land with much more impact—especially in critical meetings where tone matters as much as content.”
– Jennifer K., CEO – Industry: Financial Services
“David identified blind spots I’d overlooked for years. I sound and look more authoritative now without sounding defensive or distant. Our leadership team noticed the difference immediately.”
– Marcus L., Founder & President – Industry: Technology
“I’ve applied the techniques to every significant conversation since, and the quality of dialogue has improved noticeably.”
– Sarah M., Chief Operating Officer – Industry: Healthcare
Why learn it here: We draw upon Edge Studio’s experience training over 10,000 executives, entrepreneurs, and CEOs in the specific speaking techniques that separate good leaders from great ones. Rather than generic leadership advice, you get pinpointed feedback on your actual words, vocal patterns, and on-camera presence—along with concrete adjustments you can hear and practice immediately.
Research on first impressions and trust shows that 55 percent of the impact comes from visual cues (body language, facial expression, presence), 38 percent from vocal tone and delivery, and only 7 percent from actual words—which is why working on all three is critical for an executive. This workshop ensures your voice, words, and body language all reinforce the message you want to send.
This is offered via Zoom and in-person | Training@EdgeStudio.com
Speaking skills that help you stand out, get noticed, and move up.
What it’s about: Interviewing Techniques for Promotions & Transitioning Careers is a hands-on workshop that shows you how to speak so decision-makers actually remember—and choose—you. You learn how to shape your elevator pitch, answer behavioral and AI-screened questions, and use voice, wording, and presence to signal that you are ready for the next role. Surveys of employers worldwide rank communication as the single most desirable skill in new hires, with 55 percent prioritizing verbal communication and 47 percent prioritizing presentation skills. This session focuses on those skills where they matter most: interviews and promotion conversations.
Who will benefit: Professionals seeking promotions or internal moves, people changing careers, those re-entering the workforce, and students or early-career candidates preparing for competitive interviews. The workshop also supports consultants, freelancers, and entrepreneurs who must “interview” with potential clients or partners before being hired.

What applicants and employers are saying about this workshop:
“I can always spot when an applicant has taken this workshop; they are sharper, more in tuned to how they come across, and well-spoken. Kudos to Edge.”
– Bernard M. – Chief Headhunter – Industry: Corporate Recruitment
“Thanks, David Goldberg! I got the job I wanted!”
– Henrietta N. – Job Applicant – Industry: Health Care
“What an eye-opener! I didn’t realize what I was doing wrong. No wonder I hadn’t gotten the internship I applied for. Now, I’m heading into the next interview with a whole new set of speaking tools—even stuff like eye contact and how to lean in. Thanks so much!”
–George C. – Job Seeker – Industry: Architectural Design
Why learn it here: We build on Edge Studio’s deep experience in voice, prosody, and performance to give you specific, coachable speaking techniques rather than generic interview tips. Some volunteers will receive feedback on various topics discussed. Research on hiring shows that 62 percent of employers reject candidates due to poor communication and that many interviewers form an impression within the first 10–15 minutes, heavily influenced by body language, vocal tone, and clarity. This workshop helps you control those variables instead of leaving them to chance.

12 techniques to build trust with investors when the stakes are high.
What it’s about: When everything’s on the line, your presentation skills have to be on overdrive—to build trust and credibility, to portray an image of competence and authority, and to build a persuasive and credible case for your business or project. Not an easy task if you are first up to bat, or even if you’ve pitched many times, which is why this interactive workshop focuses on the specific wording, voice, and presence techniques that make investors more likely to lean in, ask questions, and ultimately say yes.
Research on entrepreneurial pitches shows that investors don’t just process the numbers—they are strongly influenced by how the pitch is delivered, including visual cues like facial expression, gesture, and visible passion.
With roughly 90 percent of startups failing and only about 0.05 percent ever attracting venture-capital funding, each investor meeting is a high-leverage moment you can’t afford to waste.
Who benefits: Although this seminar is tailored to people seeking financial assistance from investors, anyone proposing something to another with the expectation of a commitment will benefit from this content. Founders, startup teams, intrapreneurs, business-development leaders, and nonprofit executives preparing for high-stakes funding conversations will find the tools directly applicable to their next pitch.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Close the deal: Develop the speaking skills that will ultimately lead to the investment you need for your project or startup. You’ll walk away with a clear structure and specific phrases you can plug into upcoming pitches and refine over time.
Self-analysis: Gain greater insight into what your strengths and weaknesses are in delivering pitches to investors. Through brief practice rounds and feedback, you’ll see exactly which habits build confidence—and which ones quietly undermine it.
Say It Better: Bottom line—you’ll get better at pitching. It’s a skill worth developing. Each pitch becomes less of a gamble and more of a deliberate performance you know how to control.
What others are saying:
“I thought our deck was the problem. This workshop showed me that how I talked through the numbers mattered just as much. The revised pitch helped us secure two follow-up meetings within a month.”
– Elena V. – Co-Founder – Industry: HealthTech
“David’s adjustments to my opening and Q&A answers completely changed the room’s energy. One investor specifically mentioned how confident and clear the pitch felt compared to earlier versions.”
– Marcus J. – CEO – Industry: SaaS
“I’ve pitched before, but this was the first time anyone coached my sentences and delivery at this level of detail. I left with a script I trust and a voice that finally matches the size of my ambition.”

Why learn it here: Edge specializes in just that—helping people on the front lines exceed all expectations. There are more than 10,000 entrepreneurs, SCORE members, CEOs, business startup managers, and more who are using the techniques developed here—and available nowhere else—to position you for the success you deserve. Investor-pitch settings are precisely where our emphasis on hyper-specific phrasing, vocal delivery, and executive presence pays off, because even minor missteps in how you say something can raise doubts about risk, judgment, or follow-through. This is the classic situation where how you say it can make or break you.
Note: Investor Pitch Speaking & Presentation Strategies is our most sought-after course and program. The stand-alone overview offered here dispenses research-based speaking strategies for convincing VCs and others to invest in you and your company. More under “Programs.”

Achieve better outcomes when interviewing for college recruiters, internships, and first jobs using proven strategic word choice, speaking patterns, and presentation skills.
What it’s about: Interviewing Techniques for Teens is a hands-on workshop that helps students prepare for real-world interviews for college admissions, internships, and first jobs by focusing on how they talk and come across—not just what’s on their resume. You’ll learn how to introduce yourself, answer common and tough questions, and use wording, voice, and body language so you sound confident, prepared, and genuine. Communication skills rank among the very top qualities colleges and employers say they look for, often ahead of technical skills and GPA. Recent job-interview research also shows that more than 60 percent of employers reject candidates for weak communication, even when their qualifications look good on paper.
Why it’s critical to learn speaking skills as a teenager: With zero prior practice or training, most young people stumble in high-stakes competitions like interviews, internships, and first jobs; doors slam shut before they even get a chance. Inexperience leaves them outmatched against peers and ill-equipped to handle the AI screening tools that demand polished communication from the start.
Young people today face challenges that no classroom prepares them for today: sitting across from a college recruiter, internship coordinator, or first employer requires speaking clearly, staying organized, projecting confidence, and remaining calm under pressure while sounding authentic—yet schools overlook these skills.
Instead, young adults can boost job offers by 78% even with AI bots if they learn to speak better. We also know that teens who speak well are 70% more likely to land management roles, with 59% of hiring managers prioritizing it, a 10% salary boost from training, and 85% of employers calling it a “must-have.”
Who will benefit: High-school students interviewing for college or specialized programs, teens applying for internships or part-time work, and early-college students preparing for competitive opportunities like research roles or leadership programs. The principles apply to grad school apps, as well.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Stand out in competitive interviews: Strong verbal communication and presentation skills are consistently among the top traits colleges and employers say they want, and nearly 9 in 10 recruiters report that soft skills like communication are key to hiring decisions.
Answer with confidence instead of guessing: By practicing out loud with specific wording and vocal strategies, you can walk into interviews with phrases and examples ready, instead of hoping you “wing it” under pressure.
Build skills you’ll use for years: These techniques also apply to scholarship interviews, recommendation meetings, class presentations, and future career conversations, giving you a head start on the speaking skills adults are expected to have.
Stronger first impressions: Teens learn how to start and end interviews in ways that are clear, polite, and memorable—key moments that interviewers often cite in their evaluations.
What teens and parents are saying about this workshop:
“Before this class, I dreaded interviews. Now I know exactly how to start, what stories to tell, and how to slow down when I talk. I used the tips in my college interview and got an early-admission offer.”
– Maya L., 17 – College Applicant
“My son went from mumbling one-word answers to giving thoughtful, clear responses. The practice questions and feedback made a huge difference in how he handled his internship interview.”
– Daniel R., Parent of High-School Junior
“The elevator-pitch practice was my favorite part. I used to blank on ‘Tell me about yourself.’ Now I have a short answer that actually sounds like me.”
– Jordan K., 16 – First-Job Seeker
“As a parent, I appreciated that the instructor focused on realistic skills—how to sit, look at the camera, and choose words that sound mature without being fake. My daughter came out of the session visibly more confident.”
– Lena S., Parent of High-School Senior
Why learn it here: We build on Edge Studio’s long history of coaching young voices for auditions, public speaking, and on-mic performance, giving clear, practical feedback to teenagers on how they actually sound. Instead of generic “be confident” advice, this class gives step-by-step guidance on word choice, prosody (rhythm, pace, tone), and presence that teens can hear and practice. Studies of interviews find that many decision-makers form a strong impression within the first 10–15 minutes—heavily influenced by how clearly and confidently a student speaks, not just what they say.
Note: The class works both as a stand-alone offering and as part of a broader speaking skills series (See Specialty Programs). In longer or series formats, you also get brief one-on-one coaching on a practice interview and a written list of specific speaking habits to keep and to improve.

An overview of what it takes to narrate, record, and edit your own audiobook—from your home studio to the final upload.
What it’s about: Audiobook Recording for Authors is an introductory class for writers who want to become their own narrators, whether for a single title or a full catalog. You’ll learn what it really takes to go from finished manuscript to finished audiobook: recording space, microphones and interfaces, performance techniques, software, and basic editing specific to audiobook standards.
Audiobooks now account for billions in annual sales and continue to grow in double digits each year, making them one of the fastest-expanding formats in publishing
Who will benefit: Authors and writer-narrators who want to tell their own stories in their own voices, self-publishers exploring audio as a new revenue stream, and subject-matter experts who want their voice associated with their ideas.

What others are saying about this workshop:
“I had no idea how different audiobook narration was from reading at an event. This class walked me through performance, pacing, and recording basics in plain language—I came away knowing exactly what to try first in my home office.”
“The biggest payoff was learning what not to buy. The instructor explained what matters in a starter setup and what’s just shiny gear, which saved me hundreds of dollars and weeks of trial and error.”
“Seeing the full workflow—from manuscript to finished audio file—took the mystery (and fear) out of the process. I now have a realistic plan to narrate my own nonfiction book and know when I’ll need extra help.”
Why learn it here: Edge Studio has trained thousands of narrators and authors in voice performance and production, with deep expertise in home-studio setup and audiobook workflow. Instead of piecing together random online tips, you get a clear, step-by-step overview of the entire process—from choosing a recording space and equipment to understanding how long production actually takes per finished hour. Industry data suggest that producing one finished hour of audiobook audio can require three to six hours of recording and editing, so realistic expectations and efficient techniques matter. Edge Studio is just that—a studio. We have five audio recording studios off Times Square in NYC. You can’t get the full spectrum of training in audiobooks anywhere else, as we do everything from casting to recording to training narrators.
Note: Offered as a stand-alone introductory class and as the first step in a longer coaching and production program that includes one-on-one coaching, recording support, studio setup, and post-production services. We even do casting if you decide to use a voice actor instead.

An introduction to how words, voice, and presence skills can be the difference between a successful podcast and a mediocre one.
What it’s about: Speaking Skills for Podcasters is a one-hour introductory class for podcast hosts and guests who want to sound clear, compelling, and trustworthy on every episode. You learn how word choice, vocal delivery, and on-mic presence shape whether listeners stay, subscribe, and share—or quietly drop off.
More than 460 million people now listen to podcasts and over 3 million shows compete for their attention, which means weak audio or flat delivery can lose listeners in seconds. This session shows you the core techniques that separate standout shows from the rest.
Who will benefit: Podcasters launching or improving their own shows, including producers and marketers who coach internal talent for branded podcasts. Anyone building a thought-leadership platform through spoken content will benefit from this program, as will other experts, authors, and executives who appear as podcast guests.

What podcasters are saying about this workshop:
“David helped me fix my levels and mic technique in minutes. Listeners immediately commented that the show sounded ‘more professional,’ and our average listen-through rate went up.”
“I thought I needed a new microphone. It turned out I needed new speaking habits—better pacing, fewer fillers, and clearer questions. The difference in guest responses has been huge.”
“As a frequent podcast guest, I wanted to sound like the same person across shows. This class gave me an easy pre-interview routine for voice, framing, and presence that I now use every time.”
Why learn it here: We draw on David Goldberg’s experience coaching over 10,000 podcasters, CEOs, and speakers in speaking techniques and audio quality. Instead of vague tips about “being authentic,” you get pinpointed adjustments to levels, acoustics, word choice, and prosody that you can hear immediately. In an environment where 55–60 percent of listeners say they will abandon a podcast with poor sound quality or hard-to-follow voices, getting your speaking and audio basics right is critical for growing and keeping an audience.
Note: This course also serves as an introduction to our Specialty Program on Podcasting that includes individualized coaching, group sessions, and more.

6 critical steps to sound great in any media interview.
What it’s about: When You’re the Guest or Being Interviewed is a practical workshop for anyone who appears on camera, on radio, in podcasts, livestreams, or on the sidelines as a player, coach, or spokesperson. Instead of generic “media tips,” you learn how to manage eye contact with the camera, work with different mics and setups, control movement, relate to the interviewer, and use your words and voice so you sound clear, confident, and trustworthy. Studies show that most viewers never see a segment twice, so how you look and sound in real time strongly shapes whether audiences remember you and believe your message.
Who will benefit: Guests on podcasts, webinars, and live streams who want to sound informed and confident, not rambling or stiff. Executives, founders, athletes, authors, and subject-matter experts who may be interviewed by news outlets, industry media, or online shows and want their on-air presence to match their expertise.
What you’ll learn:
How it will help you:
Stronger audience trust: Research on podcast and media audiences suggests that about three-quarters of listeners are more likely to trust or follow a guest who sounds informed, confident, and clear—skills this workshop targets directly.
Better on-air performance: By knowing where to look, how to sit or stand, how to use the mic, and how to shape your answers, you reduce on-air nerves and come across as more natural and prepared in any format.
More lasting opportunities: Producers and hosts favor guests who are easy to interview and sound good on air; improving your media presence can increase repeat invitations and expand your visibility in your field.
What others are saying about this workshop:
“I finally stopped dreading TV and podcast interviews—now I know exactly what to do with the mic, the camera, and my answers.”
– Kevin D., Head Coach – Industry: Sports
“Before this, I either froze or over-talked on air. The specific wording and vocal tips made my next radio interview feel smooth and professional.”
– Marissa G., Nonprofit Director – Industry: Nonprofit
“Hosts have started telling me I’m an easy guest to work with. That never happened before this training.”
– Joel R., CEO – Industry: Technology
Why learn it here: This course uses the original Goldberg approach that breaks media interviews into three specific skill sets: what you say (phrasing), how you sound (vocal control), and how you show up on camera or on site (presence). David Goldberg and Edge have trained thousands of guests and on-air personalities, bringing unusually detailed coaching on mic technique, vocal patterns, and on-camera presence that typical PR-style media training rarely covers. Participants don’t just hear “look at the camera” or “relax”—they get hyper-specific, real-time adjustments that make a visible and audible difference, in a format that is highly specific to Edge Studio and hard to find elsewhere.
