Glad to have signed up for Carina's training, which has certainly helped to improve my vocal variety and tonality to more effectively deliver my content and engage my audience better. I have also learned how we could be more assertive in our communication.



Jincai, Engineer



I've had the great pleasure of working with Carina, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Her method is super effective — practical, fast, and truly tangible in the way it helps you gain confidence and clarity in your voice. Beyond her teaching and vocal skills, what really stands out is her amazing personality: kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in your progress. You feel heard, encouraged, and inspired after every session. A rare gem of a teacher who brings both expertise and heart to her work!



Delphine, Director, Pharmaceutical Company



I had a great experience with Carina and The Voice Room. I went in looking to improve my voice as well as my speaking skills, and I have definitely seen improvements during the course. Carina is not only proficient in matters of voice and speech but also empathetic, patient, and helps you become a better communicator. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to improve themselves.



Edwin (R&D Director)



Working with Carina was a wonderful experience. She’s warm and friendly, which made every session enjoyable and comfortable. I appreciated the structured approach she brought to each lesson, guiding me through the technical aspects clearly and effectively. Carina has a keen ear - she was quick to identify areas where I could improve and offered thoughtful, constructive suggestions that really helped me grow



MJ, HR Director



Carina was a great and friendly teacher! She was quickly able to identify various areas of improvement and customise the lessons for my specific needs. Looking forward to the long-term improvements after practising more!



Sean, Content Creator



Very helpful class with tailor made contend to address individual learning purposes. Carina is very professional and super patient, thank you



Tracy, Marketing Director



Carina is a very professional coach who is able to immediately identify and develop a customised program. By focusing on my shortfalls, we were able to see a vast improvement mid-way through the entire training program. Upon completion of the training program, I have sharpened my presentation skills and can definitely see this as a boost to my career



Joey, Human Resources Director



I found her to get professional help to improve my speech. After 4 lessons, I feel much more confident now. I have no regret.



Jinho, Business Development Executive​



Carina provided clear, comprehensive feedback on my presentation skills that helped me to understand where I was lacking, and gave clear, simple steps on how to improve.

Not only was Carina good with technical details, she added extra value through her steps to improve my mindset and change my attitude towards presentations. Her warm personality also makes every session enjoyable. Thank you!



Issac Tang, Business Manager



5 Star Training Experience. Well-worth.
Coach Carina is very sharp in pointing out my mispronunciations and does targeted exercises. She is also good at teaching how to project your voice out using 丹田 and effectively exercising your diaphragm.
In short, her one-for-one training is very useful for a Chinese English speaker like me.
I would like to recommend Carina to anyone who wants to polish their English speaking to the next level.



Jia Huang, General Manager



Carina is one of the best voice coaches around. Very personable and able to communicate with anyone. Definately recommended if you need a coach

About Carina Tien



Founder of The Voice Room™ | Holistic Voice, Speech & Presentation Skills Coach





My Journey


I wasn’t born confident. Growing up as one of four children, I often felt small, unheard, and unsure of my place. I had average results and low self-esteem — but I refused to stay that way. Those quiet years shaped my lifelong curiosity about the human voice — how it reflects our inner confidence, beliefs, and emotional presence.


Over time, I realised that voice training is not just about sounding better — it’s about feeling aligned within.


Through performing, teaching, and years of self-discovery, I learned that real transformation begins with voice and mindset. In 2003, I founded The Voice Room™ — a safe, transformative space where presence finds its voice.


My Philosophy


Your voice is more than sound — it’s identity, confidence, and connection. True communication happens when your inner voice and outer expression align. This belief inspired my proprietary P.A.C.E.™ + Mindset Framework, which brings together: Projection, Articulation, Confidence, and Expression — all grounded in a growth-focused Mindset.


My approach blends voice science, psychology, and mindfulness to help people communicate with calm, clarity, and authenticity. It’s not about speaking louder — it’s about speaking truthfully.


My Professional Background


I began teaching voice and communication in 1992, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of training professionals, executives, and educators across Asia. I currently serve as an Adjunct Lecturer at Singapore Raffles Music College (SRMC), teaching Pop Vocals Performance, and am a Registered Instructor with the Ministry of Education (MOE), specialising in Enrichment Life Skills and Communication Skills Training.


Over the years, I’ve conducted workshops for MNCs and SMEs, and my work has been featured on Singapore’s News Radio 93.8, YES 933, and The Straits Times Career Guide. My proprietary coaching framework and corporate programs have helped thousands of learners rediscover the connection between voice, confidence, and mindset — in both personal and professional settings.


Recognition


The Voice Room™ (Voice and Speech Skills Training) was recognised by Corporate Vision Magazine as the Best Training Provider in the 2025 Education & Training Awards for its holistic approach to communication and learner well-being.


Qualifications & Credentials


My academic and professional qualifications enable me to bridge voice science, cognitive psychology, and communication training in a uniquely integrated approach:


  • Degree in Business & Human Resource Management (UK)
  • Professional Diploma in Communication Studies and Image Consulting (Institute of Advertising Singapore & Institute of Image Consulting UK)
  • Diploma in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)
  • Professional Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (NCFE, UK)
  • Certificate in Practical Counselling (School of Counselling Singapore)
  • Advanced Certificate in Training and Assessment (ACTA), Workforce Singapore
  • Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (LCCH Asia)
    ​

Each qualification contributes to how I design my coaching, combining the technical, psychological, and human aspects of voice transformation.


Nurturing Future Generations


In a meaningful act of service, I have pledged my mortal remains to the Department of Anatomy at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Through this contribution, I hope to support the education and training of future medical professionals, continuing the spirit of learning and giving long after my voice is gone.


My Purpose


Beyond titles or credentials, my true mission is to help people find their voice under pressure, speak with confidence under stress, and express with authenticity in every setting.


Because when your voice aligns with your presence — everything changes.
