DR DERRICK SIU.

“Derrick Siu was engaged by IMG Artists as emcee of a major media conference announcing the opening and major three day opening festival for a $500+ million dollar new venue in Singapore – The Star Performing Arts Centre.

Derrick has a very easy going yet professional manner when he is presenting. We have found that artists and other VIPs feel very comfortable talking to him in a media conference environment. Derrick is a delight to work with and I would highly recommend him to any organisation organising similar events who is looking for a very charming and capable facilitator, presenter or emcee.”

We first discovered Derrick at US voice over specialist Marice Tobias’ workshop for producers and directors, and have since used his voice for a wide range of radio commercials including Citibank, Energiser and Singapore Airlines, many times working with our own Mediacorp Radio DJs.  He’s great to work with and can take direction!

Derrick also has a unique voice timbre that puts listeners at ease with his informal, man-on-the-street style.
He is the voice of the times.

I worked personally with Derrick and was impressed with his proactive and positive approach. Before the event, he made an effort to learn about the products and services he was promoting. On the job, he not only performed professionally but went beyond his duties as MC to add value to the event.

As an MC, he is youthful and energetic and possesses the ability to engage the audience. He is skilled in spontaneous interaction in order to generate crowd response.”

“Derrick is a patient and talented voice coach. He has so much experience and he has a lot to offer. From breathing to breaking through my emotional fear and letting go. He has the talent to break down techniques to make it easier for me to understand, guide me through the experience and showing me variations of vocal exercises. Every class with Derrick is a breakthrough for me.

Not only do I sound a lot better, but I also have become more open. I now have the courage to voice out a lot more during work. I believe by continuing my class with Derrick, I’m able to achieve my dream to use my voice to inspire others.”

“My objective was to learn how to optimise the usage of my voice in presentations. In the end, what i learnt was an essential fundamental life skill. I learnt how to “work” my body to enable my voice projection to be clearer and better-connected with the breathing and body movement exercises that were incorporated.

Derrick’s workshop besides being interesting, was comprehensive, hands-on practical and definitely useful for everyone including teens aged 10 and above. A MUST for all those who wish to be more naturally confident in the simple act of talking!”

“Derrick has helped me find my ‘true natural voice’ with his
easy to understand and humorous way.

I learnt to speak more dynamically with greater variation than I could imagine.

Now I have more confidence in using my voice professionally. Thanks Derrick!”

“The Voice Workshop is really a self-discovery experience. Derrick is a caring and skillful
facilitator and is able to give us meaningful individual feedback.
Love the hands-on informal lesson format which made the 3 hours pass really fast.

For me, going with an open mind and losing any inhibitions early, helped me benefit from the class. It was overall a fun session and would encourage anyone to do it! Especially parents with young kids and educators.”
