aboutME
My name is Catrina Poor. I'm a professionally trained opera singer, actor and public speaking coach.
I've performed on stages across the world,
and worked with clients ranging from tech CEOs and professors, to radio personalities and Shakespearean actors.
What I bring to coaching is unusual: the techniques that make a performer captivating on stage — breath control, vocal authority, presence under pressure — are exactly what makes a leader compelling in a boardroom.
I've spent my career translating those skills into a practical framework, designed to bring your communication to the next level.
I'll teach you to grab an audience's attention and hold it;
to own your stage, whether it's a meeting room with a new idea to pitch, ... or a conference with 5.000 people in the audience.
With me, your voice will become your
greatest asset.
my method
With exercises tailored to address
your specific challenges,
I'll help you recognise and overcome
the tensions that hold you back.
I'll teach you to control your nerves,
structure your talking points, and build interest and
anticipation in your audience, recreating the adrenaline of the
work environment right here in my studio.
With techniques I've developed over 10 years as a performer, I'll teach you to naturally improve your diction, breathing and vocal timbre.
what my clients say
"Highly recommended.
If you want to improve your overall voice performance, Catrina Poor is the coach you want to work with.
She has the ability to explain every single nuance when it comes to the art of speaking/singing,
no matter how abstract the matter at hand might appear.
I'm an academically trained conference interpreter
who has been working in the language business for over a decade,
and yet Mrs. Poor was able to provide me with an astonishing amount of new information
that helped me to improve my performances significantly.
To top it off, she is a very kind and funny person.
5 stars!"

Love working with Catrina - her coaching has been incredible!
She immediately connects with the topic of a speech and and works with you to make it most impactful to your audience.
Because of her background as an Opera singer, she also has great secret tips on the best way to deliver it on stage and get performance ready!
