Areas of Speaking Voice Coaching

• Voice Control – Learn the basics of vocal tone and control including breath support, resonance, projection, and elimination of unpleasant voice qualities (i.e. nasality, too high-pitched, or throatiness). Your voice will sound deeper, fuller, more powerful, and beautiful. You will love your new voice!
• Diction – Articulation of consonants eliminates mumbling and creates clear, distinct speech. Formerly called elocution, diction is often all non-native professionals need to make their speech understood easily.
• Vowel Pronunciation – Learn Standard American pronunciation of vowels to reduce regional dialects and foreign accents.
• Vocal Color – Learn to put inflection and emotion in your voice to influence others. Learn the secret of “coloring” your voice so others feel your message.
• Speaking Clearly for Foreign-Born Professionals – While it is not necessary to eliminate a foreign accent, it is important that listeners be able to understand your speech. Learn to pronounce sounds of American English in order to be understood more clearly in professional and personal situations.
