“Karlien Kruger: After completing this course with Barbara a.k.a Biebie Productions my Radio Presenting career flourished. She taught me everything I needed to know with regards to how to use my voice correctly, so as to have a long career. She helped me with audition preparation and the understanding of how to read for News and how to be yourself on radio. Two vital elements which; when I was in Namibia I struggled with and theses two elements if not properly understood, can make or break your career. I even went on to win the Award for Best Commercial News Buletin Reader Radio Houtstok. 2011 and 2012 and Gewildste Vroulike omroeper – Karlien Kruger — with Karlien Kruger at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World 2012. Barbara knows exactly what she is doing and can answer any question. I thoroughly picked her brain on every topic and she knows her craft, hence I wouldn’t have won my awards. I now send everyone who is interested in Radio Presenting to her. At the end of the day Barbara can teach you everything but if you don’t practice then you won’t become perfect. She is very professional in her manner of conducting her lessons and will always go that extra mile for her students.”

Fusi Nkoala – CCFM: “My native language is Sotho, so speaking English was difficult for me and coupled with presenting I really needed help. Barbara was very patient with me and accommodating (as I am studying and sometimes can’t attend class) she didn’t mind moving my class times around to meet my needs. She made me aware of my speech faults, pace and how when I am on radio I do the weirdest things – rebound at the end of a word. She really helped me achieve my goal of being a permanent radio presenter on CCFM. She is brilliant!”
