Benefits of Professional Speech Coaching

​​

Improving your public speaking skills can have a profound impact on your professional and personal life. From building stronger relationships to increasing your overall influence, better speech will communicate your ideas more effectively and encourage people to listen and respond.

Project Your Voice

One of the main benefits of speech coaching is learning how to project your voice effectively. Many people struggle with speaking loudly enough to be heard in larger spaces or crowded rooms, often resulting in straining their voice and feeling fatigued. Our coaching helps you develop techniques to project and speak powerfully from a comfortable, natural place. You'll learn to use your breath and body efficiently to create a strong, resonant sound that carries without effort.

​

Find a Confident Sound

Wish you could command a room? Our speech coaching focuses on helping you sound confident, even if you don’t feel that way initially. We teach you how to use your tone, pitch, and pacing to convey confidence and authority, drawing your audience in authentically. By mastering these elements, you'll not only sound more confident but also start to feel more assured in your speaking abilities.

​

Reducing Vocal Tension and Discomfort

Overexertion can lead to hoarseness, vocal fatigue, and even long-term damage if not addressed. Our speech coaching sessions include exercises and techniques designed to reduce vocal tension so you can speak comfortably and healthily. We focus on minimizing strain and maximizing your vocal output, ensuring that you can use your voice for extended periods without discomfort. This approach not only improves your vocal health but also enhances the clarity and strength of your speech.​

​

The Importance of Breathing Well

Breathing is the foundation of good vocal technique. The breath is the fuel for our sound, supporting your voice, helping you project, and reducing tension. Many people don’t realize how much their breathing patterns affect their speaking. Our coaching includes training in diaphragmatic breathing, which provides the best support for your voice. You'll learn how to control your breath, which in turn allows you to speak more confidently and maintain a steady, powerful voice throughout your speech.​​​

Common Exercises for Better Speech

​

Breathing Exercises

We’ll guide you through exercises to help you breathe steadily and comfortably, taking breaths that ground you and help ease nervousness and anxiety. This steady flow of air will ease tension in your voice, help you maintain a smoother, more consistent sound, and allow you to project and control volume more effectively. Proper breathing techniques also enhance your overall vocal stamina and reduce the likelihood of vocal fatigue.​

​

Vocal Warm-ups

Just like any other part of the body, our voice benefits from warm-up before use. We’ll teach you simple, effective warm-up exercises to prepare your voice for speaking. These might include humming, lip trills, gentle vocalizations, and singing to help your vocal folds stay elastic and limber. Regular warm-ups are essential for maintaining vocal health and ensuring your voice is ready for any speaking engagement.​​

​

Projection Techniques

Projecting your voice effectively is about more than just speaking loudly. We’ll show you how to use your breath engagement and natural resonance to amplify your voice without shouting. Effective projection allows you to reach your audience clearly while maintaining the natural quality of your voice. It's about discovering your voice and what it is capable of, rather than trying to mimic someone else. You'll learn how to fill a room with your voice, effortlessly.​

​

Pitch and Tone Control

We’ll help you find your natural pitch range and work with you to practice using different tones and colors to convey various emotions and ideas. The goal is to help you feel more comfortable while communicating with your audience more effectively. By mastering pitch and tone control, you'll be able to engage your audience more deeply and make your speeches more dynamic and compelling.​

​

Articulation Exercises

We’ll work on exercises that build awareness of your articulators (like your lips, tongue, and teeth) and improve your enunciation. We believe in finding a balanced relationship with the words, allowing you to speak clearly with effective diction without sacrificing the quality of the sound. Improved articulation ensures that your message is understood and appreciated by your audience, enhancing your overall effectiveness as a speaker.​

​

Relaxation Techniques

Reducing overall tension in your body can positively impact your voice. We believe strongly in the value of practicing the physicality associated with your public speaking, in addition to voice use. By incorporating relaxation techniques, you'll be able to reduce anxiety and tension, allowing for a more natural and effective speaking style. These techniques also help prevent vocal strain and improve your overall presentation.
