Meribeth Dayme

Dr. Meribeth Dayme, PhD, is an exceptional personal performance coach, speaker and author known worldwide for her pioneering work and expertise in the function and use of the human voice. She is a coach and consultant for leaders in the field of business, and well-known coaches in theatre, voice and singing. As a former university professor of singing and anatomy, she helped establish a new standard for understanding the voice and how it works. Her awards include an NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship to the Royal College of Surgeons of London for research on the voice. Her personal experience performing, teaching, leading workshops and speaking has given her deep insights into what it means to walk on stage or be in front of an audience. Comfortable with large or small audiences, her talks are informative, practical, fun and entertaining. 

 Meribeth's years of experience and study of multiple aspects of the human voice (performance, science, Eastern and Western concepts and philosophies, modalities of healing, mindfulness and consciousness) have given her the ability to know the voice inside out and back to front on a technical level and she is one of the few voice teachers who take care of the human spirit and soul. Meribeth stands for lifelong learning, wisdom and knowledge.

The author of numerous books, online courses, and articles, she has appeared on TV and radio including Granada television, BBC Breakfast Television, LBC Radio, BBC World Service, John Dunn Show - Radio 2, Woman's Hour - Radio 4, Colour Supplement - Radio 4, Capital Radio, Sky News, Zambia National Broadcasting Company, WRS Geneva, Internet webinars, live Podcasts in the USA, Canada and Europe, and FaceBook Live.
