People don't understand the way you speak or pronounce English?

And you are interested in Accent Modification (sometimes called Accent Reduction dude_globe
or Accent Neutralisation) and you like the benefits of joining a group to learn
how to modify your accent.

A Voice Culture Accent Modification Group

  • runs for eight weeks (one hour sessions) and
  • has a maximum of four people, ensuring you get personal attention
  • gives you opportunity to learn from others
  • is held at two convenient locations
  • runs at convenient times
  • is run by a qualified Speech Therapist

 

There are two Groups:

 

Group 1: Sound Basics

Sound Basics begins with an assessment and analysis of your speech, from which an individual programme is designed to target your particular pronunciation needs. You will have opportunity to listen to, to practice and to modify your pronunciation.

You will also receive a personalised workbook and CD of sentences chosen to assist you during the group session and in your home practice sessions.

In the group you will work on vocabulary that is specific to your work, social and home settings.

You will also learn about pacing and changing intonation patterns as well as how to present in a group and in an interview. The groups will also teach you how to use your voice to communicate with confidence.
