Speak Well | Vocal training for speakers

I can offer some English speaking pronunciation tips, but the main thing I do is help you with the sound and impact of your voice.

Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: The important thing is not to sound monotone unless your message should be delivered that way. So your pitch shouldn't stay in one narrow band when you talk. This is not only not very communicative, it's also tiring for the voice. I'll teach you how to use appropriate pitch ranges in speech that will get the responses you desire from your specific listeners.

Yes, but I will do this by increasing your resonance, not pushing too much air.

I sure can! If you have a thin, hooty, weak, harsh, edgy or otherwise unwanted sound, I will show you how to access different tones and increase the richness of your vocal resonance. If you have a speaking part that requires a character voice, I can help you manipulate your throat channel to create that sound. And I will help you make choices according to the speaking situation, your particular audience, and your desired response.

This course will require practice time outside of lessons. Time spent practicing may vary from 15 minutes per day to an hour, depending on a student’s level of interest. Students who wish to become professional musicians will need more hours of practice per day using a different set of exercises and materials than students who are seeking to learn music as a hobby. Detailed structure of practice for each student will be discussed and explained during class.

The student is required to inform the teacher about his absence from a particular session, two days prior to the class. In such a case, the teacher will reschedule the class and conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student. In case the student misses to give two days prior notice about his absence to the teacher, then the decision to conduct another class for that student is completely based on teacher’s discretion.

In case the teacher is unavailable for the scheduled class, he/she will inform the students two days prior to the class. The teacher will conduct the rescheduled class on or before the end (i.e. Saturday) of the ensuing week or such other time as may be mutually decided between the teacher and the student.

Students should get a response within 24 hours if the teacher is not preoccupied or travelling.
