ACCENT IMPROVEMENT THERAPY
Accent Improvement Therapy is different from English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. It is designed to address specific pronunciation patterns in conversational speech for non-native Standard American English (SAE)-speakers.
With our graduate level education and experience in speech analysis, we offer individualized sessions to analyze your particular speech, language ("grammar"), and voice patterns. We help you set the goals you need to achieve so you are easier to understand and people pay more attention to what you are saying than how you are (or are not) saying it.
The benefits of this work include:
reduced frustration for you and your listeners
improved professional image
improved confidence
reduction of grammatical and articulation "errors"
better ability to be understood on the phone and during presentations
improved public speaking skills
WHAT you say is 5% of your message, HOW you say it is the other 95%. Let our expert coach you to success!
VOICE IMPROVEMENT THERAPY
Does your voice command attention or tune people out?
We can help develop your presentation voice. Many professionals use a speech rate, speaking pitch, or loudness level which is inappropriate.
Combined with nonverbal (vocal use) patterns, you can present an image which says you are the expert
and hold your audience's attention.
Recapture your status by improving your voice.
A voice which is "grating", too loud, or inappropriately pitched will cause people to notice
your voice, not what you are saying. They may even complain about you or your voice being disruptive.
We can help you modulate your voice and facilitate new found respect by those you respect.

TONGUE THRUST THERAPY
For people who have an "overbite," "crossbite," etc. and require braces, it is important to have an evaluation for tongue thrust to ensure that when your braces come off, your teeth are not pushed back into an unsightly position by the force of your tongue pressing on your teeth as you speak and swallow.
This condition often goes unidentified. If not corrected, braces have to be put on a second time as the thrusting
pushes your teeth into an abnormal bite and alters your smile.
