dynamic speakers and teachers-Dr. Susan Miller and Mr. Tom Calcagni-both
of whom will provide invaluable guidance and instruction concerning the
art of public speaking and presentation.

communication consulting business. She specializes in refinement of the
speaking voice, anxiety reduction, accent modification and treatment of
the injured voice user. Dr. Miller has over twenty-six years of
experience with professional and amateur speakers, radio and news
broadcasters and singers.

Tom Calcagni is a top communications consultant who has been teaching
senior executives, political pros and even a celebrity or two to prepare
