What is Spoken Voice Training?

At the turn of the last century, this training would have been called elocution lessons. Though the term may have gone out of fashion, the need has never been greater with our intense use of and daily reliance upon telephones, our many business meetings and presentations, and the importance of making a great vocal impression when we finally do score "face time" with clients, friends, prospective employers or the person across the table at a speed dating event. The ability to speak well yields many benefits such as: clarity, credibility,and confidence.

You can learn to play the instrument you were born in (YOU!), releasing your unique voice healthily and beautifully, without stress, strain, nasality.

Spoken Voice Training includes:

  • Overcoming Nerves
  • Healthy Voice Production: Releasing a pleasing vocal tone
  • Standard American Pronunciation
  • Diction and Articulation
  • Projection (volume)
  • Expressiveness and Flexibility

Training uses the B. Vocal workbook and practice CD for all spoken voice training.

Communication Skills

B. Vocal offers one-on-one coaching to make you a more effective communicator in person, on the telephone or when recorded.  You'll learn techniques to overcome nervousness, you'll discover your purpose as a speaker and learn how to connect with your audience, deliver a clear message and keep them interested and engaged.

Forget the Sell--Just be Yourself. This means we'll work from the inside out, giving you simple, doable methods to feel comfortable and confident as the unique person you are. With this training, you won't have to pretend you're someone else; you'll learn to shine on your own and make the most of every connection opportunity.

Coaching uses a digital camcorder to help you see yourself as others really see you and learn about body language, energy focus, and the inner language of success.

Accent Relaxation

If you are foreign-born, speak and write English, but find that Americans seem to have trouble understanding you, B. Vocal provides a unique service to help you overcome many of the barriers you face when trying to communicate socially and in the workplace.

Available as individual lessons or workshops for your group.
