About the Class

Are you serious about speaking well and clearly? Do you feel your career is affected by how you speak? If so, read on.

Crucial skills in communication are tied up within the voice—clearly spoken words to get the message across efficiently, a pleasant voice, an accent that is interesting, but one that does not obscure the words, as well as an indication of our polite and professional attitude in terms of vocal tone and emphasis to highlight the meanings of words.

Competent vocal skills are essential to communicate critical information, negotiating, present, persuade, and pacify others. This intensive 16-hour course uses diagnostic tests, focused exercises, and fun activities to give you a chance to become aware of your vocal faults and learn techniques to correct them. This will allow you to develop better vocal skills so that you can speak to customers and colleagues with confidence, effectiveness, and impact.

The course includes six 2-hour core modules and four 90-minute individual coaching sessions. You can take more individual coaching sessions if you feel you need them. We cover articulation (the sounds of the language), word pronunciation, sentence stress, and emphasis as well as intonation and other aspects of voice modulation. By the end of the course, you will have prepared and produced a number of recordings of voicework you have made to demonstrate your improvement. In addition, I provide you with a report from your coaching for continuing practice after the course.

This course is a perfect preparation for our presentation skills program, or you might do that first and then come here.

Requirements

  • Participants should have a working knowledge of English of at least pre-intermediate level. I am British so I will be able to model standard international English as well as some regional dialects and I have some knowledge of the American accent. However, the key focus is to learn how to speak clearly so that you can be understood. I will not be coaching you on how to speak exactly like a Brit.
  • This is not a language course in itself: the focus is on pronunciation and vocal training. We touch upon language aspects here. You can take one of our language courses if that is your main concern.
  • The course includes core modules and individual coaching sessions.
