Denise Woods has been the ‘voice behind the voice’ of a stellar array of actors for the last twenty years. She recently coached the Netflix feature films, A Jazzman’s Blues, Tyler Perry’s magnum opus and The Harder They Fall, starring Idris Elba. As the creative consultant for Halle Berry’s directorial debut of the film Bruised, she contributed to the authenticity of Berry’s performance in the starring role.

Woods worked with Audra McDonald on her fourth Tony Award winning performance for "Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess on Broadway," and was Zoe Saldana’s Dialect Coach in the feature film based on the life of Nina Simone. Her dialect coaching talents can also be heard in the 20th Century Fox film, Hidden Figures, starring Taraji P.

The Power of Your Voice For a Time Such As This!

Now more than ever it is crucial to possess the skills to make a lasting impact when we speak. From America’s number one most feared task of public speaking to asking for a raise, from establishing one’s presence in video meetings to a marriage proposal, we are judged by our voice, our most crucial instrument of expression. In her riveting presentation, Denise Woods reveals how to develop your voice and be heard in everyday life and addresses:
- Aligning your voice with the passion and determination to demand change
- Being heard as a marginalized person
- Conveying who you are by embracing your culture, region, and heritage
- Healing trauma through vocal mastery
“The Power of Your Voice” takes an audience on Woods’ journey from a shy child in New York City to successful performer, graduate and first African-American female faculty member at The Juilliard School Drama Division, and culminating with anecdotal accounts of her award-winning work with a host of legendary stars. All while providing valuable tips and techniques to overcome common voice and speech issues and become confident, effective communicators. This motivational experience will give an audience the awareness and tools to master the voice’s full capacity in order to achieve their goals and express their true selves in relationships, family dynamics, business, and more.
The Power of the Mature Voice

In recent months, as I approach 65, the ongoing nature of my personal and professional work have grown deeper. The statement that we “never arrive,” has never been more relevant, we must continue to grow and evolve. To paraphrase the words of Dylan Thomas, I will not go gently into that good night. I am going to continue to speak my truth, dance, sing and rage well into the twilight of my years. I invite you to celebrate the power of your mature and ageless voice with me…
