Speech & Voice Coaching
Introduction
Is your career being held back because:
- Some find your accent is too strong and have difficulty
understanding you?
- You lack confidence in Spoken English?
- Your presentations are ineffective?
Many of us have acquired the way that we speak and have received
no formal instruction in speech or voice. We speak in a manner
similar to those around us – complete with errors in both diction
and style. We may be unaware of the faults in our voice until these
are pointed out to us. This can lead to lack of confidence.
A clear speaking voice and correct pronunciation are vital in
today’s modern world. Confidence in spoken communication is
important for those seeking rapid career progression.
I offer high quality tuition in all aspects of speech and
communication. Every aspect of speech is taught:
- Correct pronunciation
- Vocabulary building
- Accent reduction
- Correct breathing
- Public Speaking
Essentially, the lessons will address the following specific
points concerning speech: correct vowel pronunciation, correct
consonant pronunciation and modulation. Modulation refers to
the pitch, pace and pauses of speech. Together these form the
very basis of good speech.
All clients are given lessons notes and are instructed in a range
of vocal exercises designed to improve aspects of speech.
Lessons
Lessons can be ‘tailor-made’ to suit your own requirements.
Continual Professional Development
Although not compulsory, you may like to take the opportunity
to work towards and enter examinations in speech. The examinations
require no written element and are taken locally. The certificates
will be tangible proof of your newly acquired skills. I currently
prepare students to take the examinations of LAMDA, National College
of Music and Arts (Est 1894) and Victoria College of Music (Est 1890).
