NJ Public Speaking Coach Introduces Training the Speaking Voice
June 16th, 2009Busy executives who want to improve their public speaking skills now have a new opportunity to master effective speech and public presentation techniques with “Training the Speaking Voice”.
We are judged by how we speak, write, and think-in that order. That’s why it’s crucial that professionals speak their thoughts in a manner that is easy to understand, and inspires trust and respect in their listeners. Training the Speaking Voice, is a developmental process customized for each individual and group to achieve targeted outcomes.
We created the program after an increase in demand from executives and professionals seeking ways to improve the clarity and impact of their sound and enunciation, or with those who speak English with a regional or foreign accent.
The program is excellent for public speakers or executives looking to enhance their professional opportunities with dynamic speaking capabilities. The exercises open up new possibilities for self-awareness as well as professional and personal growth.
Typical voice and speech training issues include:
- speaking too softly
- speaking too quickly
- lack of expression (monotony of pitch, volume, and speed)
- vocal fatigue
- too many “ers” and “uhms”
- an accent that makes the speaker hard to understand
About Training the Speaking Voice
Training the Speaking Voice is an Executive Education Program, customized for each individual and/or group, to achieve targeted outcomes.
Candidates for the program include those whose clarity or personal impact is impeded by an accent, or by less than optimal voice and speech habits.
The program follows an intuitive path.
- First, we record & identify the voice or speech challenge.
- We introduce exercises to address the issues.
- The candidate receives coaching in person, and practices on her own.
- We measure the change, report the results, and provide guidance for continuing growth and awareness.
To support the face-to face instruction, we provide easy to use written materials, customized recordings for home (or car) study, and web and phone tutorials.
