Srivaramangai Sadagopan

Vocal Music Teacher, Malaysia

I am a music teacher and also a singer. Due to constant singing and talking in the class my voice used to get tired very fast and after a period of time, I was finding it difficult to sing in my usual pitch, and gradually was diagnosed of having formed nodules in my vocal cord. Once I came in contact with Dr. Nayak, I came to know about many things which normally singers don’t take seriously. Thanks to Dr. Sadhana Nayak! She showed me the right path, regarding taking care of voice health, improving my voice and also building confidence in me.

Akshat Mathur

Head of Research & Development, SiPM BVBA, Finland

“With a job that increasingly involves public speaking, I needed a voice with more depth, gravity and clarity. I didn’t think it was possible, but Dr. Nayak made it seem easy. Coming from a place of great expertise in her field, she immediately understood the problem, and was able to guide me to a very significant improvement in the quality of my voice within just a few sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who needs any kind of help with their voice.”

Dr. Sushant Shinde M.D

Founder & Director, QUEST Medical Academy, TEDx Speaker, Mumbai, India

I am a doctor and a teacher. And teaching for long hours used to leave me with a sore throat very often. That’s when I met Dr. Sadhana Nayak. Before meeting her, I must admit that I was skeptical about how much she could help me as I had only read about her over the internet. Being a doctor added to my confusion, as this is a very unique field of medicine that not many doctors are trained in. However, meeting her was one of the best professional decisions of my teaching career. Her therapy and training helped me improve my understanding of the voice as a tool and to correct errors in my speaking technique while teaching. And the results have been amazing! Within weeks of her training, I could literally sing even after talking for 8 hours. I believe that anyone who needs to use his/her voice professionally should meet Dr. Nayak once. Learning the skills will prevent many mistakes that we all are prone to do. What’s more is your voice will find a new expression!

I am fortunate to have met with such a wonderful professional and human being. She put me through a well-constructed and tailor made training program to transform my communication skills organically through mind and body. I truly admire Dr. Nayak’s professional approach towards the training program, the attention to detail and personal touch. She uses effective and excellent techniques and the entire training program is measured based on qualitative factors rather than being quantitative. In the end I had a great sense of achievement and had fulfilled the requirements as I had envisaged. More importantly, with Dr. Nayak’s abundant knowledge and experience she was able to get the best out of me and elevate my confidence & leadership skills. With my experience of her coaching, I highly recommend Dr. Nayak’s corporate training program for aspirant corporate leaders. Thank you for your guidance and effort Dr. Nayak, all the very best!

Mr. Narendra Vachharajani

I am a senior corporate professional and transitioning into life coaching & mentoring. As a precursor to my new career, I consulted Dr Sadhana Nayak for voice coaching as I wanted to improve my tone, diction and overall vocal delivery. Dr Nayak fulfilled all these requirements with perfect professionalism and great deal of passion and personal interest. Her training methods are personalized and are highly user friendly. As a person too, I found her very warm, friendly and approachable. I am very impressed with the voice training she did with me and wish her continuing success in her practice.

Actress, Vocal Coach, Associate Professor of Voice & Speech, Ithaca College, New York, U.S.A

In Dr. Sadhana Nayak I have found a kindred spirit as a vocal trainer for actors and other voice professionals. Her practical approach, extensive subject knowledge and years of experience allow her to offer the gold standard in the treatment of vocal health issues and training of the voice. Her commitment to treating the origin of vocal problems rather than simply treating the results of vocal misuse provides her clients with the tools needed to reverse vocal problems and prevent them from returning. I am proud to count her among my professional colleagues and will always continue to welcome opportunities to collaborate with her.

Great experience for an Indian American to become familiarized with the Indian accent and pronunciation. Dr. Sadhana took me through the entire training program in an organized, clear and systematic way. It was an amazing way to get acquainted with the Indian dialogue. Thanks for everything Dr. Sadhana.

Shalmali Sukhthankar

Professional Singer & Finalist Zee Sa Re Ga Ma 2008, Mumbai India

Back in 2008, I was struggling with nodules on my vocal cords. I had my 1st episode of the TV reality show Sa re ga ma almost at my doorstep. My ENT recommended that I should go to Dr. Nayak for voice therapy. I wasn’t sure if I could sing at all for my episode which was to be shot in a month or two. But after I started my therapy with Dr. Nayak I was totally fine by the time of my 1 st episode. My nodules had completely gone. Cut to 2017…. I had to improve my range for some songs that were high pitched. So I went to Dr. Nayak again for range improvement and right singing and breathing technique…And her exercises are proving to be very effective. With regular practice I can go to my upper range more easily. I can feel more openness in my voice now than prior to the therapy.

Mohit Kumar

Senior Vice President, IDFC Ltd., Mumbai, India

Unequivocally, I can say that I am a huge beneficiary of Dr. Sadhana Nayak’s training. It has been a great and exciting journey over the last 10 years. I met Dr. Nayak because my voice was not effective enough for my professional communication. Being schooled in vernacular medium, my pronunciation also was not in consonance with the requirements of the corporate world. The training started with unlearning all the bad habits that restricted my voice and learning all the basic building blocks of voice and speech. I can say with certainty that the training has helped me immensely. It has improved my confidence and helped me become a better speaker. I keep coming back and take training sessions even now, to hone my skills further.

Dr. Pushkar Shikarkhane M.D

Physician & Singer, Mumbai India

I am a consulting physician & started learning vocal music at the age of 35. As a colleague, I’ve always known Dr. Sadhana Nayak as an excellent ENT surgeon and voice specialist. But I consulted her for myself when I developed a hoarse voice. I was about two years into my classical music training and I would enthusiastically take every opportunity to sing. I was making mistakes & ended up hurting my voice. Dr. Sadhana checked me thoroughly and diagnosed a polyp on my vocal fold. She explained my wrong doings patiently. Her prescription of a few medicines & recommended voice therapy exercises pulled me out of the crisis. Now even after 7 years of this episode, Dr. Sadhana’s exercises help me even now and my music training continues unabated. I sing on stage and my patients and well wishers are very happy to see me perform. I am very thankful to Dr. Sadhana Nayak and wish that her expertise and healing touch helps one and all.

Alishha Sachdev

International Image Consultant & Etiquette Trainer, Mumbai, India

As an international image consultant and etiquette trainer, I communicate with clients frequently, during one-to-one sessions and while conducting workshops. I realized that our voice is one of the most important mediums for communication. The training imparted by Dr. Sadhana Nayak helped me communicate effectively with my clients. Through her fun and interactive method of learning, she helped me understand the importance of relaxation along with breathing techniques and how it directly affects the pitch, strength and tone of voice. She also helped me globalize my accent resulting in effortless communication with people belonging to different countries and cultures. Thank you Dr. Nayak for the transformation you have brought about in me.
