Little changes can connect you with 3X more voters.
Little changes can connect you with 3X more voters.
If voters say ‘No’ to you, it’s 3x more likely because of how you spoke, not which words you said.
Yet nearly all candidates are untrained at effective speaking.
And this is why I’m donating ‘political voice-coaching’ this election: I’m prepping democratic politicians to speak more effectively at campaign rallies, media interviews, podcasts, commercial recording sessions, fundraising events,…
Consider this:
1. Your medium: Do you know how your speaking style influences voters when you’re interviewed on-mic for a podcast? Versus when on-camera vying for ‘talk time’ at a debate? Versus when standing on-stage giving a campaign speech with a microphone? Versus when addressing an advocacy group face-to-face?
2. Your application: Will you be delivering campaign speeches, versus townhall meetings, versus political TV commercials, versus funding videos, versus debates, versus broadcast interviews? Do you know how to best adapt to each?
3. Your audience: Hopefully you’ve been tailoring your voice to the demographic of your audience, to the size of the audience, to their energy, cause, and interest! If not, you haven’t been reaching them as well as you could.
4. And your message: Has a speaker ever influenced you? Exuded mega-confidence? Touched you? Made you reconsider something? Gotten in your head?
Hi. I’m David Goldberg, political speaking coach.
My mission? Guide democratic candidates to get “yeses!” at any political-related speaking gig: from on-camera media interviews to on-mic election podcasts, from on-stage town hall speeches to online campaign rallies.
My team and I breakdown your entire delivery—including speaking skills, lighting setup, sound quality, body language, and visual appearance—so you crush it every time so nothing stands in your way when delivering:
- Campaign Events & Rallies
- Fundraising Events
- Debates
- Radio Shows & Podcasts
- Town Hall Meetings
- Television Interviews
- Press Conferences & Media Briefings
- Floor Speeches
- Taped Voice Over Recordings
- Virtual Events (e.g., Zoom)
- Reading from Scripts & Outlines
- Stage Right
- Accent Reduction
I’ve developed simple speaking techniques that significantly boost voter engagement and turnout. Numerous politicians have successfully adopted these methods, resulting in a substantial increase in votes — a game-changing number in tight races.
