Summary: In The Spotlight Audio CD and book
Review: Excellent book and CD. The relaxation/self hypnosis exercises are sure to help anyone ready to make changes and face his/her performance anxiety. Janet provides different ways of understanding and coping with the panic that can accompany a speaking or performing event. I was able to implement her teachings quickly and sang with ease, pleasure, and confidence at a recent performance. I highly recommend the CD as well as individual coaching with the author.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic!
Review: Having attended an In the Spotlight seminar and having read her book, I can personally attest to the fact that Janet Esposito is a savior. Now, she has provided us with an CD to help us along in our journey toward a better life. She has a first hand knowledge of the issues surrounding "stage fright" and how to deal with them. I have written her numerous e-mails thanking her for being the person that she is and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her again for providing yet another wonderful resource. If performance anxiety is a problem in your life, don't waste another moment in anxious misery. Buy her book, purchase the CD and, most definitely, attend one of her seminars.

Summary: This is just great!!!
Review: Her book is great, her workshop is great, and now, Janet's new CD is great!Each track is full of positive, uplifting and inspiring messages...so beautifully done, from soothing relaxation exercises to rousing and empowering pep talks. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on connecting with one's own deep inner strength and positive resources. Doing this repeatedly helps
to build a firm foundation for meeting life's challenges with
increasing competence, success, and even enjoyment. Janet 's voice is gentle and calming, yet full of conviction, and Diane's is like honey. What a wonderful collaboration between two talented and sensitive women. Highly recommended!

Summary: Way too "new age" for me
Review: I bought this CD hoping it would help me improve my confidence with public speaking, but I was very disappointed. It has an extremely heavy "new age" and hypnotic feel and sound that I found very irritating. I turned it off after about 15 minutes, and I never plan to turn it on again. It will be headed to Goodwill with the next load.
I recommend "The Quick & Easy Way to Effective Speaking" by Dale Carnegie. It is a classic that has never been surpassed. It provides extensive help and practical guidance that has been very valuable to me both in terms of technique and confidence. Dale Carnegie was THE expert on public speaking; his books and courses have helped millions of people overcome their fears and become effective speakers. His books have a positive "you can do it" attitude that I like.

Summary: Extremely helpful
Review: I have attended all three levels of Janet's workshops and read her book. My involvement with her approach has helped me resolve many issues around performing. At every workshop attendees would beg her to put out a CD so we could "take her home" with us. This CD more than fills the bill, for it moves you directly into a calm, focused mental state. It beautifully complements what I learned in the workshop and from her book, and I will continue to use it before performances. Janet has made a major contribution to the field of performance anxiety through her strong committment to helping people overcome this issue, and she knows firsthand how debilitating it can be. Thank you, Janet.

Summary: Great CD
Review: I thought that Janet's CD was extremely effective, and I used it before presentations. It helped me tremendously and encouraged me to focus on positive thoughts rather than those that were self-defeating. I would highly recommend it for those with public speaking anxiety, and even those people who only get slightly anxious before presentations. Loved it!

Summary: Priceless Help for Building Self-esteem and Conquering Fear
Review: Janet and Diane have created the most beautiful and effective CD for helping people build self appreciation and calm fears about performing, that I have ever heard. After listening to the CD I felt that a deeply therapeutic experience had taken place.I was so comforted to know that by owning this CD I could listen to Janet's and Diane's beautiful voices whenever I wanted to. What a comfort to know that their wise words could be listened to at times that I needed help envisioning a stronger, braver, or more appreciative self. This CD is an invaluable resource. I have never done exercises that were as effective as Janet's and Diane's at helping me to feel whole, and showing me the right words to use in talking to myself in ways that would allow me to let go of negative memories and beliefs. Step by step, with beautiful, comforting, loving, and believing voices, the authors show you the path to dissolving the negative and disempowering, and building strength and self trust. This CD is fantastic. Very therapeutic and healing. You will listen to it frequently--not just for speaking and performing, but for building self esteem.
