We Incorporate Every Aspect of Effective Communication into Every Class!
1. Speech Melody and Cadence Known as Intonation
Speaking with interesting melody patterns is the number one most important skill for sounding smart, engaging, and confident. You will learn a strategy that will have you speaking with clear, sharp articulation and at the right speed for a fluid and effective statement.
2. A Strong and Powerful Voice
Speaking with good intonation will provide interesting vocal variety patterns that will captivate your listener’s interest and make you more persuasive. You will learn how to speak from the “power spot” in your voice to always speak with and radiate pure and strong vocal tones.
3. Speak and Sound like a Leader
Throughout your class, we will include topics on leadership enhancement. How speech and voice are used sends non-verbal signals about confidence, credibility, and leadership persona. We will make sure that you speak and sound like an expert in your domain, as all leaders do.
Look What Former Clients Say about Working with Us!
“Liz’s program looked very interesting to us to get us better prepared for presentations. I am an engineer and have not had any public speaking training. We are going to be much better prepared with her methodology. She is such a dynamic person with a lot of energy. She can really teach you how to deliver your message. She is very good at what she does and this training was very helpful for us. We would like to have her back.”
“Liz’s accent reduction training has a big focus on American melody. Liz has helped me to sound less monotone and more in the style of the Americans. Reducing my accent and the American melody style has really increased my confidence for speaking in front of groups. I am very thankful for Liz.”
