The Audience May Remember
The words you say. But, They’ll act
On How you make them feel.

Tom j Dolan: “When I first walked in front of a TV camera on a sound-stage in Hollywood I was anxious. I felt embarrassed and was asking myself “What am I doing here?”  An actor? I didn’t really “feel” like an Actor. But today I’ve built a 20+ year professional career in Hollywood & Tokyo. It wasn’t easy and I struggled. Mostly with myself! I resisted, felt weak at times. I didn’t have the Self-Confidence to continue at times. But… I didn’t want to quit either. Now, I’m going to share with you, some of the skills I’ve developed and some lessons I’ve learned. And here’s Lesson #1: Speaking is a Learnable skill. It’s TRUE and you can learn the Skills too.

In all my Training programs, “Performance of Speaking”, “Read2Speak”, and several e-Courses, I teach the lessons I’ve learned through study, trial-&-error,  on-the-job-training and personal experience(sometimes frightening) to help you overcome your feelings of Resistance, feeling embarrassed, thinking “I’m not Good enough!” I’ll share my knowledge, insight, and the techniques I’ve learned & developed to help you become a confident & skillful Communicator using English the International language.
