VOICE TRAINING

Your Dynamic Voice

As soon as we open our mouths to speak, we are judged. Instant assumptions are made about our background, our intelligence, our class, our power. In business communication today, it is essential to be able to speak up, in order to delegate, instruct, inform, inspire and persuade. This is how we train your dynamic voice.

dynamic voice

Have you ever thought:

No one listens to me when I speak…

I wish I could sound confident and clear…

Your voice can fail you in many ways, which affects your presence and power. 
  • If your voice hurts or tires easily
  • If you keep having to repeat yourself
  • If you speak so rapidly that you stumble over words
  • If your voice annoys listeners and you are easily ignored
Then its time to give us a call

South Africa, in particular, is filled with many different accents – we might speak with a Zulu, Afrikaans, Coloured, Indian accent – to name but a few. At Accents, we do not aim to change your accent, our main focus is on improving clarity. This means that we will focus on accent reduction or neutralization, but we would not recommend eliminating a person’s accent.
