"For one who's moving forward, the path is paved by his feet."
Robert Walser
The Robert Walser quote above provides a fairly accurate description of the manner in which I approach life and work.
Both as a trainer and as a performing artist, the characteristic of my work that gains the most recognition and appreciation is the method in which I bring seemingly unrelated elements together, to draw upon unusual syntheses, and thereby inspire others to shape new perspectives for understanding, learning, and experiencing. My facilitations are structured to provide workshop participants with a strong orientation for allowing them to quickly "feel" self trust and to accept change as a "playful" and experimental process.

Vita
As a self-employed voice-trainer and vocal-coach I have worked over 12 years with executives in business and public organisations to support them in developing their speech and personal expression – and achieve more presence and recognition.
My second field of work are my private singing-students and the voice-building workshops for choirs.
And finally I work as an artist in different projects:
Kus's Quartett – Vocal Jazz
www.kussquartett.de
– Opera-Parody
www.konduettina.de
Flow
Improvisation Music Trio, with Thilo Vester (p) and didier papier (perc)
Live-Readings from the collection of my short stories presented in combination with other expressions of, and impressions for, all of the senses

After all, Norbert, Nina and Marie, my family, are very happy to see me and they are very creative in keeping me busy and showing me that "real life" is happening at home.

Kerstin Kuschik's voice coaching has helped me to gain awareness toward employing my voice more specifically and economically in my public speaking activities. Overall I realize that her teaching has helped me develop a more authentic style with both my voice and body language when communicating and expressing my thoughts to groups. I found the voice building exercises that Kerstin Kuschik provides to be stimulating, original, and inspiring. Her professionalism is evident in the manner in which she tailors her instructional methods to the needs of her students.

Through Mrs. Kuschik's voice coaching I have discovered the many possibilities for my voice when both speaking and singing. I have unveiled my inner "tonal acoustics" and learned how vocal sounds shape expressiveness. I find it astounding to discover the many influencing factors such as breath, body posture, and self-perception as contributors toward shaping the vocal sounds that I produce. Mrs. Kuschik has the sensibilities for helping me develop courage to go "beyond myself" in overcoming personal boundaries. Her work has facilitated my developing strength to move forward in dealing with difficult issues.

After giving a presentation, someone from the audience kindly suggested that I get some voice and speaking training. After two private coaching sessions with Mrs. Kuschik my next presentation was evaluated with the highest possible score.

I have always enjoyed giving production presentations and training seminars. That is, except for the shortness of breath that always accompanied them. For me, speaking in front of groups was always accompanied with a feeling of not getting enough oxygen. This resulted in my interrupting my sentences, to catch my breath, at very inopportune moments. As a result my presentations always took on a character of stress and hectic. It was difficult for my audience to understand what I was saying and I always ended up losing my voice by the end of the day. Now that I have had breath and speaking training things are much (!) better. And now I also know how to help myself get on to the right track when I start falling back into my old speaking patterns.

Mrs. Kuschik's voice training helped me be more self-confident in articulating my thoughts and feelings and thereby gain more recognition and appreciation in both professional and personal situations.

During the time in which I dedicated myself to achieving a stronger self-perception and an integration of my voice into the "wholeness" of my being, Kerstin Kuschik proved to be a very competent and empathic teacher for me. She led me to several self-discoveries for which I am very thankful to her. This thankfulness remains with me in that I am able to apply what I have gained from her teaching in my work every day. I learned, for me, very useful speaking skills from Kerstin Kuschik.
