“Not only she has given me the tools to improve my English pronunciation, but she has also helped me realise how much potential I have. With her coaching I now feel much more confident when speaking to people. This has made a massive difference in the way I feel about myself and this is reflected in how I now behave and conduct myself in front of others.”
- Kirsten

Why would I need elocution and accent softening?
In order for you to speak so that people will want to listen and can easily take in your message. At Vermillion we don’t want to change your accent, but work with you to make your sounds clearer.
The course could be for you if…
English is an additional language
It’s your native language, but you find that people often ask you to repeat yourself.
Many people mumble, stammer, race or freeze when they speak and all of these affect the flow of communication and how we are perceived.
Here at Vermillion we will work with you on:
Diction
Pace
Intonation
Projection
Control over your delivery
Eliminating fillers
Softening your accent
English pronunciation
We will help you feel more relaxed and confident about talking. Through breath work, and working on your pace and emphasis, you will develop your communication skills.
To work on your communication skills further look at our Effective Communication course.
We will take you through exercises and teach you techniques to work on your vowels and consonants and make your speech clear so that everyone can understand you.
