FAQs

How much do programs cost?

You will have a clear path for what to focus on and how. You’ll leave with a LOT more knowledge and insight and confidence in knowing the steps you need to take to become an awesome, clear, confident speaker.

Yes. Businesses often pay for all or part of the fees for a program as part of their personal development or continuing education programs. Ask your employer, HR specialist, CLO, T&D, or DEI rep. and let us know how we can assist you in the process.
Most sessions take place online.Sessions can also take place at your place of business, my office in Chelsea, my home office in Upper Manhattan, or another agreed upon venue (presentation stage, on-set for actors).
Yes! I have, and have had clients from allover the world. Scheduling is flexible.

In most cases, I have found that they are. In fact, using good earphones allows for the sound signal to be even more direct than in a room where acoustics or background noise may interfere, even slightly. You can see the placement of the tongue, lips, teeth, etc., and with verbal descriptions, which are always provided, it is very clear. Zoom and other formats are also super practical for people with busy schedules or who travel a lot for work.

Both day and evening sessions are available, and we are open seven days a week.
It depends on how diligently you do the practice assignments, how open you are to change, and how motivated you are. Forming new habits takes dedication. Clients who have taken 12-week programs often improve by 50-60% or more. There are some who have taken 20 sessions and all but eliminated their accents. It really varies. Some people have more of a gift for picking up the sounds and assimilating them.
If people often ask you to repeat yourself, or misunderstand what you have said, it might just be for you! If you feel that the way you speak is holding you back, professionally, socially, or both, you are a candidate for speech enhancement.

If important players are being dismissed for promotion, or not being utilized to their fullest due to their communication skills, then the service may prove invaluable. Call for a consultation to discuss individual or group programs, which are custom-tailored to suit your company’s needs.

English proficiency is required for any program offered. However, we do work on practical writing, business writing, fine-tuning grammar and vocabulary skills, and cultural communication differences, as they impact overall professional communication skills.
Group sessions are usually limited to five people. Classes for a larger number can be arranged. Group classes are announced here, on my website, for various times; classes can always be arranged for groups of employees at a company, or friends who want to work together. If individual sessions are beyond your budget, let me know, and I can help find a good candidate or candidates to take the class with, in order to allay fees.

Yes. You can take the evaluation either online or in person. A complete evaluation involves a questionnaire, interview and videotapes of you speaking, preferably in several contexts. An evaluation may prove very valuable to you in gaining insight into your known and unknown communication style and direction you can take to start improving.

An accent evaluation involves saying words and sentences, reading aloud, and speaking spontaneously. It is very thorough and provides a clear blueprint of the sounds, intonation, voice, and grammatical issues that you need to work on. We will discuss the results either in person or over Zoom, and I can answer any questions you may have. You receive a detailed printout explaining the areas you need to address.

I make most of my own materials and use materials from many different sources, which I have collected over the years. They include both print and audio downloads, as well as videos. I create new materials all the time, based on my clients’ needs. They are included in the price of the course. You will have them to practice from long after your program has ended.
After you connect to the site, you will be directed to speak some words aloud, read, and speak spontaneously. I will get back to you with feedback regarding your speech, and answer questions you may have.
Yes, definitely! Most people are in the habit of speaking by using only part of their voice. Once you learn the fundamentals of grounding, relaxation, breathing, resonance, and connecting to your message, as well as address the self-imposed boundaries you may have accumulated over a lifetime, your speaking voice will improve, and… most likely, your whole life will, as well!
Yes, there is a 24-hour cancellation fee for scheduled sessions.
If individual sessions are too much for your budget, you can allay fees by working with one or two other people. Contact me, and I will help to find an appropriate person to work with (ex. from a similar language/speech background/professional needs)!
