George has strong marketing expertise and is able to grasp the broad picture while providing concise input on projects. George has also given generously to the not-for-profit sector in his talk "Presentation Secrets for NPOs", which I have coordinated several times. It's always a pleasure to hear his presentations no matter the subject as he's a compelling presenter. George is an engaging and passionate man, and an asset to the business community.

Having known George for the better part of two decades, I have seen (and heard) his career as a professional speaker flourish. George and I first worked together on committees at the Burlington Chamber of Commerce. I was proud to also recommend George as one of the guest lecturers at the Chamber School we used to have - the Canadian Institute for Organizational Management. I highly recommend George. His message, style and personality all combine for a memorable and impactful presentation.

George recently spoke at the Stoney Creek Chamber of Commerce. He is a very engaging speaker who keeps the audience involved and interested. He shares personal stories to build credibility and provides solid advice and tips that any business person could benefit from.
This is the second time George has spoken at our Chamber and from the feedback we received from our members I am sure it will not be the last!

George is a dynamic and engaging speaker. He uses a practical approach to marketing - his points are easy to understand, well thought out and easy to utilize in your business. Often marketing speakers put on a great show but afterwards you have nothing to take back to work. George gives you the great presentation and practical ideas to implement.

I always enjoy George's down-to-earth, practical approach to marketing. He shares a simple yet powerful message, practicing what he preaches: "Success is as simple as doing little things consistently right" and "It's not what you know that counts but what you DO that counts". Any size group could benefit from George's motivating presentations.

George Torok, Deliver Superior Presentations When You Speak answered:

How to improve the quality of your voice?

Breathe slowly and deeply.
Correct breathing is one on the first fundamentals for singers, martial artists, and yoga students.

Speak slower.
Slowing your pace of speaking will deepen the tone of your voice and make it easier to listen to. Also your words will tend to be better enunciated.

Stand tall.
Correct posture weather sitting or standing allows you to breathe easier and project well.

Don’t strain your throat.
Be well rested. Avoid speaking at the time of day when you are low on energy. Don’t yell. Use a microphone when appropriate.

Avoid dairy products.
Before speaking don’t drink milk or eat cheese because that tends to create phlegm in your throat. The safest liquid to drink is lemon tea or room temperature water.

Yawn.
Immediately before speaking, yawn (discreetly). This relaxes your throat. Morgan Freeman confessed that he uses this technique regularly.
