Voice training

There are many reasons why you might want to train your voice:

• to improve your vocal performance in presentations
• to reduce an accent
• to sound more cultured
• to eliminate nerves when speaking publicly

Voice training will give you confidence when you speak and help you make a good impression in your working and private life.

Accent softening

Having an identifiably foreign accent can be a real liability in today's multi-cultural but impatient and rushed world. You may feel you are being stereotyped, passed over for promotion or maybe you are just tired of being asked to repeat yourself all the time.

An Accent Softening course will:

• help you modify word stress, sentence stress, and intonation patterns
• work on specific problem sounds
• practise the way your lips, tongue and jaw move
• look at how your mother tongue compares with standard British pronunciation

While it will take time and practice, eventually using these changes will become second nature. Your accent will become less obtrusive, and listeners will no longer need to strain to understand what is being said.

Elocution

It may sound old-fashioned, but speaking well is as important today as it was in the past. People in the public eye, such as politicians and leading businessmen, have never stopped taking elocution lessons to improve their diction and enunciation.

We offer elocution coaching to help you:

• reduce a regional accent
• achieve a well-modulated voice
• achieve greater clarity when speaking
• avoid mumbling or using an excessively soft or loud voice

As a result, you will be able to speak with greater effectiveness, confidence and impact.

Presentation Skills

We deliver coaching for public speaking and presentations. Typically this will involve work on

• voice projection and power
• creating a presence
• 'working' the audience
• leaving a strong impression

Your audience will be wowed, and you will be able to achieve the objectives of any presentation you give time and time again.

Course Types

We offer 1:1 and closed group coaching that can deal with any voice issues you or your staff may have.

We can also arrange ½ day & full-day Voice Training workshops. These are entertaining, enlightening and extremely useful!
