Accent Reduction

English is your second language. Your grammar is perfect. And yet you are often asked to repeat yourself. Pronunciation and accents can be changed with practice and clearly defined goals. Working one-on-one with your vocal coach, you will learn to make physical changes in the way you position your lips, tongue and mouth for clear enunciation.

Executive Speech Coach

Athletes, CPAs and Doctors routinely continue their education to stay at the top of their fields. Do you? Commit to improving your speaking skills and watch your career soar. Our customized coaching covers the sound of the voice, diction, language choices, interpretation skills and acting. You will amaze yourself!

Voice I

Do you cringe when you hear your recorded voice? Does your voice lack authority? You can change the sound of your voice. Voice I improves breathing, vocal control, voice quality, pitch, tempo and volume. Make your voice your major asset!

Voice II

Voice II is an extension of Voice I dedicated to refining business communications. We review the basics of Voice I and work on the subtler aspects of speaking: the use of phrasing, selecting words that sound like what they mean, and applying alliteration and metaphor. These skills make one a concise and spirited speaker.
