Language is my
passion

I'm Pauline Paternoga - a speech scientist with a master's degree in Clinical Speech Science, working with people in voice coaching, speech coaching, German training, and communication coaching in Dresden and online. My approach is evidence-based and holistic, aimed at lasting change rather than quick fixes.

I'm fascinated by how deeply voice and speech shape how we're perceived and how we feel about ourselves. When someone discovers they can express themselves more clearly, confidently, and freely, it often transforms their presence and self-assurance. Those are the moments that make this work meaningful.

Who are my services for?

Individuals

Whether your voice gives out, you're struggling with throat-clearing, or you simply want to come across more confidently and clearly, I'm here for you personally and at eye level.

Executives & Teams

Leadership requires persuasion. I help you develop your language, presence, and professional impact, whether in conversation, meetings, or on stage.

Non-Native Speakers

Language connects people, but it can be frustrating when you have a lot to say and still are not understood the way you want. I help you express yourself in German with clarity and confidence.

Common questions about voice coaching & German training

Where are you based?

My main base is Dresden, where I offer speech coaching, voice coaching, and German training in person. Online, I am available nationwide across Germany and internationally. Appointments in other German cities are available upon request.

Who is your offer for?

For individuals, executives and teams looking to strengthen their communication impact, and non-native speakers who want to learn German or improve their pronunciation.

What sets you apart from other voice coaches?

I combine speech science expertise, clinical knowledge, and international experience. My approach is evidence-based and holistic, focused on lasting change, not quick fixes.

How does working together work?

We start with a free introductory call. This gives us space to clarify your goals and lay the groundwork for working together. In the first full session, I assess your starting point, give you initial well-founded feedback, and define suitable goals with you. From there, the training is tailored individually, at your pace, with a clear focus on real-life transfer.

Do you offer clinical speech therapy?

My services are coaching and training, not a substitute for medical or speech therapy treatment. For persistent voice complaints, I recommend medical clarification and can, if needed, refer you to suitable medical or speech therapy professionals.

What can voice and speech coaching help with?

For example with vocal fatigue, constant throat-clearing, unclear articulation, stage fright, limited vocal presence, or the wish to speak more clearly and effectively in conversations, meetings, and presentations.

Do your services also cater to professional voice users?

Yes. I work with teachers, executives, self-employed professionals, speakers, and other people who rely heavily on their voice, clarity, and communicative impact in their professional lives.

How does the
collaboration begin?

Getting started is straightforward: in a free introductory call, we discuss your goals, the right format, and the next steps. In the first full session, I then assess your starting point, give you initial well-founded feedback, and define suitable goals with you. From there, your training takes shape individually, with clear structure and exercises that transfer into everyday life.
