Anna Bernstein, founder of The Brain-Voice Connection, has over 14 years of experience helping clients speak and sound like leaders. These include employees of Microsoft, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, T-Mobile, Colgate Palmolive, Consolidated Edison, Lavasoft, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Starbucks Coffee Corporation and The New York Times.

The following are what some of her customers have to say about her services.


Anna is masterful in working with executives to clarify and increase the impact of their public speaking. She is fearless in advocating for the audience and challenging ineffective communication styles. All of our executives valued her objective feedback and coaching in support of our national sales meeting.

Chris Reed, VP and Chief Marketing Officer, The Cobalt Group

"Working with Anna helped me learn how to speak clearly and with great impact to a room full of board members. She also made me stop saying the New Yorker's "you know." She has had a lasting, positive impact on me."

John D. McMahon, President & CEO, Orange & Rockland 

Anna clearly has mastered voice coaching. Whatever concern I raised, she had a technique right on hand to resolve it. She helped me let go of my 'little girl' voice. Now my voice and speaking style reflect the confidence I have in my subject area.

Dr. Catherine Darley, Seattle, WA, Founder, The Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine

As a professional interpreter, my voice is my most valuable asset, and Anna’s coaching has taught me how to control it more than I ever thought possible. Learning her breathing technique and how to slow down my pace has done wonders for me. Anna helped me create a positive impact with their voice.

Claudia Azar, WA State and Federal Certified Interpreter

Anna, thank you again for the marvelous presentation you gave to my networking group. They really benefitted from learning how to improve their elevator pitches. In three years of leading this event, I've never seen the participants so engaged in the material - or laughing so hard!

Matt Youngquist, owner, Career Horizons

Anna was an excellent resource as we prepared for a major press tour in the United States this year. She provided precise guidance on how to turn a ‘negative’ comment into a positive for us. Anna should be a priority for anyone that needs to “meet the press”.

Michael Helander, Director of Communications & PR, Lavasoft

I am the president of a New York-based PR firm with a diverse clientele. Anna prepares my clients for the media, from those who have never spoken with the press to those who consider themselves media pros. Her work is transformational. In fact, after 27 years in PR, I personally take advantage of her expertise. For media training and anything that has to do with matters of speaking, Anna is absolutely the best in the business.
