Call-Centre Woman Revisited!
14 June 2026
When was the last time you thought “Ooooh, I like that voice”? Or maybe the opposite when you heard one that made you want to move on quickly or reach for the off switch? A while back I was stuck on hold for ages, listening to music to go mad by, in the hope of […]

I work a lot with people who aren’t happy about their voice when talking with friends, colleagues, strangers – anybody, really. And they’re even more concerned about how they come across speaking to a group. Being able to communicate well, one on one, is a precious skill. I can help you with that. Making everyone […]

15 May 2026
There’s a whole stack of composers who left behind unfinished symphonies. The best known one is probably Schubert, but Beethoven, Wagner, Sibelius and many other famous musicians didn’t complete their works before they shuffled off this mortal coil. As a celebrant, has it ever seemed that a ceremony of yours felt unfinished? You’d listened attentively […]

Are you completely happy with the way you present your ceremonies? No? You’re not alone in this. Unless you’ve been fortunate enough to have had top-class guidance, preferably one on one, it’s not surprising that you may feel there’s something not quite right in the way you’re communicating with your audiences. After all, the presentation […]

The other week, I was one of the speakers at a celebrant conference. It was by Zoom, so I didn’t have to travel far – just upstairs, in fact! I like Zoom, partly because I can stay at home here in the seclusion of Cumbria, connect easily with a lot of people, and also because […]

27 December 2025
I’m Paul Robinson, from Heart-led Ceremonies Celebrant Training. We’re one of the original celebrant training schools. And, dare I say it, one of the best. You’re probably thinking “Well, you would say that!” Fair enough! There are a lot of claims like this, but are they based on fact? I know that what I’m saying […]

Since working with you, my perspective and scope in relation to celebrancy has totally transformed. You’ve helped me to add a quality to my delivery that I previously had no idea about. I don’t think I’ll even call it delivery anymore.

10 October 2025
I’m Paul, the voice and communication coach for Heart-led Celebrant Training, and I also work with celebrants who’ve trained elsewhere but haven’t had the vocal and presentation training they really needed. In fact, I work with all sorts of people who want to improve the sound of their voice, how to communicate with it, and […]

18 December 2024
(Not for the eyes of those who still believe!) I first put this blog up a couple of years ago – but somehow I deleted it: so here we go again! My first confession is that I wasn’t the real Santa, although I did a pretty fair impression. Mind you, I had plenty of practice! […]

In my mind, MC stands for Master Communicator. I’ve known one for a few years. And there’s no hammer about this MC. He’s a warm, friendly, gentle soul. Let’s call him Mr W – he’d probably blush if I shared his name. Guess what! Mr W is my dentist! Well, not just mine. That’s the […]
