WELCOME TO STIMMSCHMIEDE
MARION SCHMIDT COLOGNE
Are you looking to refine your voice, your speech, your performance – whether for personal growth, professional development, or team
training as part of a business or an organization? You have come to the right place! At my Stimmschmiede, I offer voice and speech training,
as well as coaching for anyone aiming to speak or present authentically, coherently, and effectively as well as in a healthy manner. I offer
trainings online and in person - your premises or mine - individually or in groups, and in multiple languages too.
Stimmschmiede trainings are your personal commitment to yourself. Your openness, readiness, courage, goals, and unique personality
shape the content of my training and coaching. Sociocultural context and speaking history form the holistic basis for my tailored
approaches to your individual needs.
about me
Marion Schmidt
Speaker | Vocal Trainer | Online Coach (DGSS)
From TV announcer to speech trainer
Just after obtaining my French bilingual baccalaureate, I became a
TV announcer at WDR Cologne. My interpreter studies soon
transitioned to focusing on my family. Meanwhile, as a narrator,
coordinator of literary readings and of a dedicated working group
at a local school, I championed the integration of children from
educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. For my more grown-up
audiences, I have recorded audiobooks over the years, lent my
voice to broadcasts, worked on film productions, and held readings.
Once I had enough time, I completed my second degree in Speech
Sciences and Training. In 2014, I founded Stimmschmiede as a
freshly graduate speech trainer (DGSS). Since 2020, I have been a
lecturer in voice and speech training at the Cologne Theater
Academy (TAK). Et voilà, here I am. Always at your service. Let us
celebrate the power of spoken words!
YOUR QUESTIONS
We all know the feeling:
nervousness and stage fright before a
presentation or conversation, followed by
dissatisfaction. Learn to enjoy your
speaking style because when you present
yourself confidently
and coherently, you persuade.
What specific challenges would you like to
address?
