In 1998, Barbara was invited by the Australian Voice Association to conduct Master classes on 'Enhancing the Public Speaking Voice' at the Fourth International Voice Symposium of the Australian Voice Association in Melbourne. It was an opportunity for an international audience to observe the expertise of the voice coach working with a participant in achieving significant vocal improvement over a period of three days.

In 2000, Barbara was engaged by GE Capital Consumer Finance to conduct Voice and Speech coaching at their major Call Centre in New Delhi. The training was specifically designed to ensure that GE's English-speaking customers and clients would be able to easily understand their front-line Associates. It encompassed Voice Management and exercises to master accurate English Pronunciation. As a direct result of the training, the Associates became more confident, persuasive and understandable on the telephone. Levels of customer and employee satisfaction consequently improved.
