Clients Are Saying:

“Working with Paul was a joyful and enlightening experience.  He helped me unearth blocks to my vocal and physical expression that I didn't even know I had.  Kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable, Paul masterfully guided me through a variety of helpful exercises, and I noticed improvement in my use of my voice and body in just a few sessions.  If you’re looking for a public speaking or voice & presence coach, I would highly recommend him.” —Jim Dethmer, found of The Conscious Leadership Group, January 2024

“Paul is an excellent coach and presenter!  His workshop was dynamic, informative and fun and gave our tour guide volunteers techniques they can use to improve their speaking on their tours while keeping their voices healthy. He really understood what our volunteers do and met folks where they were at with the training. We highly recommend Paul’s workshop!”  — Katrin Hawkins, Program Manager, Boston By Foot, March 2024

“I've had the tremendous opportunity of studying with Paul for 4 years. Paul is an amazingly talented and gifted Linklater teacher and resource. He resides on the North Shore but, along with his private teaching, he teaches at Boston Conservatory. This pandemic we are all suffering through has created so much pain, anguish and upheaval. But through this upheaval there are also new opportunities to be realized. If you are not interested or simply not able to pursue classes with Paul now I highly suggest you "friend" Paul on Facebook and put him on your "radar." Also If you yourself are perhaps not personally interested but are in a position to possibly know others who may benefit from Paul's teaching, I *also* suggest you put Paul D'Agostino "on your radar.” Linklater - of course - as a discipline and a technique is a tremendous gift for an actor. It is not only "voice work" but "soul work," or soul craft - in very minute, very *specific* ways. By "Freeing the Natural Voice," it will greatly free and expand the actor's physical, mental, emotional capability to connect - both with themselves, with their fellow actors, with the text and world around them. Paul is one of a very small group of people with Linklater training in the greater Boston area. If you should ever find the time and opportunity to work with Paul - or, if you recommend him to a friend or colleague - you won't regret it.  I promise you this. ” —Dave Rich, actor, 2020

“Just wanted to send a note from my little corner of the world and say thank you again for helping to make my stay in Boston so therapeutic!!! I still tell people it was the best massage I’ve ever had. It was nice connecting with you, and sharing a bit of our stories with one another. We’re both living our best lives!! All the best, Kathleen (I visited on Labor Day)” —Balans Organic Spa, massage client, October 2022

“Paul was fantastic. He listened to what my goals were for this massage appointment and brought them to fruition. I've always carried pain in my neck and shoulders and I have sought massage therapists for it the past, but I always left feeling either beat-up or underwhelmed. With him, I left feeling extremely relaxed and great relief from the muscle pain and tension I was experiencing.  Paul seemed to know what my body needed better than I could articulate.  He was very professional. He checked in with me throughout the appointment to ensure pressure and sensation were adequate. Highly recommend and look forward to coming back.” —Dan, massage client, Down Under School of Yoga, April 2023

“I have been attending private voice coaching sessions to address a polyp on my vocal cord and wholeheartedly recommend Paul D'Agostino . He is a most gifted professional with a warm engaging personality. It is clear he loves helping others learn and grow. I particular I have been impressed by his genuine passion and enthusiasm. . His approach is both holistic and highly motivational. His perspective is grounded in the Linklater and Alexander approaches so it incorporates experiential as well as conceptual exercises. Whether he is in the classroom or in private sessions, his communication style, creativity and sensitivity are true assets. . . I would give Paul 5 stars -- he brings exceptional personal qualities , strengths and gifts to those who have had the good fortune to work with him.” —Mary Muir, Wellness and Mind Body Counseling and Expressive Arts for Healing, voice client, 2021
