RAVES FOR THE TOAST COACH

“"I had the pleasure of working with Robert Buscemi to help me write an important wedding toast, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He showed an exceptional ability to turn my jumbled thoughts and ideas into a funny, impactful story.

Rob’s command of the language is second to none, and his years of experience as a writer, standup comedian and actor give him a unique set of tools that fit this task perfectly. But what sets Rob apart is his personalized approach. I’ve given presentations to conference halls full of professional colleagues, but a wedding toast for a very large party of important friends and strangers from many walks of life just made me so nervous. Rob took the time to get to know me, learn about the bride and groom, understand my goals and tailor his teaching style to suit my needs. He was patient and supportive, gave the proper reassurance when I needed it and was always available to answer questions.

His feedback was always constructive and insightful. He has an uncanny ability to tease out the best parts of my story, help me make it funnier and avoid embarrassing anyone. Thanks to his guidance and expertise I was able to craft a speech that not only met but exceeded my expectations. It was touching, funny and memorable. And the delivery was spot on, thanks to Rob. The bride and groom were grateful, the audience loved it, and I received many compliments, especially from the other speakers.

Overall, working with Rob was an incredibly rewarding experience. He is an exceptional tutor, and I am so glad to have worked with him. If you're looking for someone who can help you craft a powerful and impactful speech, look no further than Rob Buscemi. He truly is the best in the business!”

"As an experienced comedian and thoughtful writer, Rob has an uncanny ability to put into words what few of us can.

He eulogized a beloved Second City actor who was dying of ALS. By doing so, Rob encapsulated a beautiful snapshot of time through humor and intentional observation, bringing comfort to so many. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will certainly reach out to Rob to 'toast coach' special events."
