VOICE & DICTION IMPROVEMENT
Like your face and fingerprints, your voice identifies you. It's integral to making a positive impression.
Voice and diction training helps you develop an appealing and engaging voice that can adapt to every speaking situation. We conduct an assessment of your voice at the first meeting to determine your vocal habits and strengths and weaknesses. We then create a coaching plan for your vocal development.
Voice and diction training is most effective when conducted in short meetings over a period of time. As needed, you'll receive training audio or video files to practice vocal exercises between our meetings. Let us show you how to:
- Use your tongue and lips for precise articulation
- Speak smoothly without hesitation or choppiness
- Breathe properly for power and control
- Project your voice so you can easily be heard
- Reduce filler words such as "uhm" or "like"
- Speak at an appropriate speed
- Use emphasis and pauses effectively
- Eliminate unpleasant qualities - monotone, nasal, high pitch
- Speak with a pleasant vocal quality that is free of tension

"Janelle, your storytelling and voice coaching not only helped me as a CPA, but with a comedy routine I did the other night! I paused just at the right moments during my stories, slowed down my rapid delivery and enunciated to the point that one woman afterwards complimented me on being able to clearly understand everything I said. I also worked with room nicely with the movement tips you gave me. Thanks!"- Nick Restuccia, Rizzo & Restuccia, P. C.
