    TESTIMONIALS
    “STAA’s coaching helped me get better at what I do. They helped make demos that sound better. They helped with cover letters and what to say, and telling me what do to in an interview. I know that at any time I can email (STAA CEO) Jon Chelesnik with a very specific question for advice that will advance my career and know that he will have a quick answer and a helpful answer. It is beyond what I paid for. ”

    "You gave me some tips on my sports updates and running my show. At the time I thought the tips were helpful, but since really applying them, I'm blown away at just how much smoother and better I sound."

    "Thanks for the suggestions regarding my play-by-play. You brought up some things that I have never really thought about. Out here I don't get a whole lot of feedback, so it was good to hear things that I need to work on. I found the session very productive."
