John Heart is a sought after by leaders, actors, executives, students, and professionals in the public eye 

around the world. However, speaking wasn't always that easy for him. Due to childhood hearing issues, 

he could not pronounce the letter S correctly. Finally, In the 5th grade John's school hired a speech therapist. 

In a few weeks, she helped John change the position of his tongue and pronounce his S's correctly. 

Suddenly his life dramatically improved. The other kids stopped making fun of him and the seeds 

of an interest in phonetics and diction were planted. 

Those seeds begin to bloom years later when he was studying acting at The Juilliard School. Learning 

from the greatest voice and speech teachers in the country, John developed his core ideas about the 

fundamentals that constitute an ideal speaking voice. After graduation from Juilliard, John became a 

company member of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival: A theater with a $3 million annual 

operating budget, passionately dedicated to well-spoken English. His Juilliard training served him 

well there for 8 years. Gradually, he became less interested in acting and more interested 

in helping others with pronunciation.

John is now based in Phoenix. He is the creator of the Speech Gymnasium. His Speech Gymnasium helps 

people speak clear and immediately understandable English. John helps people develop their own powerful 

and expressive voices, strengthening them and eliminating accents. John gets results for his clients. Training 

with John gives you a voice upon which you can rely; so you can confidently speak in public or simply 

communicate more effectively with your voice.
