“Jim engaged and energised the audience with his presence and charisma. He was the perfect emcee for our two-day Domestic and Family Violence conference and formal dinner. He added a professional and organised feel to our important event, and he effectively communicated the program clearly and concisely to 500 attendees. Jim seamlessly transitioned between segments and speakers and showed flexibility when handling unexpected changes. His exceptional public speaking skills and strong stage presence made the audience feel welcomed, and he was well prepared and knowledgeable about the event and its purpose. Jim left a lasting impression on all those present and the event was a great success thanks to his involvement.”

“Our organisation had a relationship with Jim for around 10 years. The fact that it has endured that long and has involved many different corporate events and occasions says so much about how highly we regard him. A true professional who prepares thoroughly and delivers consistently on each occasion. A very genuine person with an easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to work with and be around. He is particularly generous with his time and has gone above and beyond on several occasions for us.
I look forward to our next opportunity of working with him.”

“Jim did an outstanding job as MC of our inaugural fundraising dinner. His exceptional professionalism combined with his willingness to share his own personal experience with sensitivity and authenticity ensured that the event significantly exceeded our fundraising target. As well as being superbly organised, he took the extra initiative to interview one of our researchers before the event to deepen his knowledge of the Institute. He kept the formalities on track all night whilst entertaining and inspiring our audience. I wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Jim.”
Kate Barnett
Chief Executive, SVI Foundation St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research
“Exceptional, engaging, enthusiastic and the ultimate professionals. The Comms Gurus have brought their brilliant pizazz to numerous Qantas PR events over the past seven years and played a key role in the success of these events. Jim is unflappable under pressure, generous with his time and knowledge and his positive energy radiates long after he has left the building. They are without doubt the most articulate, warm and witty hosts/MCs who always goes above and beyond the brief and makes sure every person in her orbit feels a million dollars. They are highly adaptable and take any last minute curveballs in their stride with good grace and humour. 11/10 would recommend.”

“I have known and worked with Chantelle for over 20 years in her various capacities as Backing Vocalist, Recording Artist, Live Performer, Tutor and Voice Coach. In my opinion she is one of the best vocal coaches and practitioners in the country. Chantelle has the skills to help you discover and develop your voice so that you and your message will be heard clearly and confidently. In my experience, there’s nothing Chantelle doesn’t know about the voice and it’s power to communicate effectively and efficiently. I endorse her unconditionally and recommend her as a voice and vocal coach without hesitation.”

“Over many years, I have watched with admiration, listened in awe and marvelled at Chantelle Ormandy’s voice work and skills.
She’s simply extraordinary – warm, funny, patient and a great teacher.
I’ve seen her transform kids into school music comedy mini stars, pull a mass choir together for the Pope’s visit and provide exquisite backing vocals for everyone from John Farnham and Burt Bacharach to Tony Bennett. Vocally, she’s a miracle worker.If you want to hum in tune, join the chorus, belt out an operetta or simply be heard….try Chantelle Ormandy! 
I don’t know how she does it but she does.
She’s amazing!”
