Hi, I’m Sonny.

Founder of Sonny’s Speech Studio. 1-on-1 public speaking coach for working professionals.

For over 12 years, public speaking has been a consistent part of my life. Today, I help working professionals communicate with more clarity, structure, and presence — through preparation, practice, and honest feedback.

My journey to coaching

For over 12 years, public speaking has been a consistent part of my life. I’ve delivered talks and presentations across many settings, ranging from small groups to audiences of 2,000+.

My journey didn’t begin with confidence. Like many, I had to work through hesitation, overthinking, and uncertainty in front of audiences. Through disciplined practice, repeated experience, and the guidance of strong mentors, I learned how to organize my thoughts and speak with greater clarity and composure.

Today, I help working professionals improve the way they communicate in real-world speaking situations — not through performance tricks or motivational pep talks, but through preparation, structure, and deliberate practice.

What I believe about coaching

01

Real progress comes from preparation and practice

Coaching isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building skill through structured, repeated work that compounds over time.

02

Every speaker needs a different approach

There’s no cookie-cutter formula. Every session is shaped around your specific goals, situations, and growth areas.

03

Honest feedback creates real growth

I’ll always give you an honest, realistic assessment of where you’re at, what’s working, and what still needs work.

Experience that shapes how I coach

A consistent practice across settings, audiences, and stakes — translated into a coaching method that actually moves the needle.

Built for working professionals

I focus specifically on working professionals because the situations that matter most aren’t keynote stages — they’re the meetings, presentations, and conversations that shape your career week after week. Speaking well in those moments doesn’t require a stage persona. It requires preparation, structure, and steady practice.

That’s the work I’ve spent more than a decade doing for myself. And it’s the work I now do alongside clients — with a clear plan for each session, real-time feedback, and honest, practical adjustments you can apply right away.

Every session has one goal: leave you better prepared for the next time it counts.

What clients are saying

Sonny has been incredible to work with. I’ve been meeting with him weekly to improve my public speaking and overall confidence, and I’ve learned so much. He creates a non-judgmental environment that makes it easy to step outside your comfort zone.

Sonny explains things clearly, gives constructive feedback, and truly meets you where you’re at. Every session feels encouraging and empowering.
