Client Testimonials

“The wonderful Jana absolutely inspired and empowered our Langhaarmädchen team with her voice coaching! She impressed us not only with her professional expertise but also with her warm and heartfelt personality.”
Mona & Julia (Langhaarmädchen, workshop with dm-drogerie markt)

“I was absolutely thrilled with Jana’s workshop! I learned many techniques to improve my pronunciation, vocal tone, and overall presence. As a software consultant, my voice is my most important tool – even more than my keyboard. I’m in conference calls, Scrum meetings, and give public presentations. The workshop had a great atmosphere, the exercises were diverse, and Jana took time for each individual participant. Truly outstanding!”

“I’m currently applying for Germany’s Next Speaker Star, and by a wonderful coincidence, I met Jana. She’s a passionate, empathetic, and inspiring woman. The vocal training exercises, her character analysis, and the clarity she brought to my personal speaking journey really impressed me. A few knots got untied. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jana and look forward to working with her again!”

“Jana loves what she does, and it shows. She’s such an expert that she intuitively senses the ‘vibe’ of her coachees and works with them gently yet effectively. I love her approach, her expertise, and her presence.”

“As a CEO, I speak in front of people daily—using words, but more importantly, presence and conviction. As Jana always says, ‘We’re all just big kids who want to be entertained.’ That’s something I had to learn. Through her mentoring, I discovered how deep this really goes. She sees what others miss. She hears what lies between the lines. Her vocal analyses are impressive. She supported me both professionally and personally. After just a few weeks, not only was there a noticeable difference in my voice—but a felt one. I became calmer, more precise, more present. My team noticed and appreciated it. For me as a leader, working with Jana was a game changer—an absolute must.”
Markus Lenz, CEO of the Digital Nomad Conference
