What: I teach Accent Reduction and Speech Enhancement to the entertainment industry and the corporate sector. I teach people who speak English as a second language, speak with more clarity, better pronunciation, improved verbal fluidity and enhanced speech. I teach one on one and group classes.
Where: in my studio in High Park, Toronto.
How: I teach people auditory discrimination which is the ability to hear the difference between the sound and pronunciation they are using and compare it to the correct substitution. I teach them visual discrimination through use of the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) finally I teach them tactile discrimination which is the ability to feel what is being articulated in their mouth. All three come together to help everyone reach their potential. I also use these methods because not everyone learns the same way, some have a favorite way to comprehend what is being taught, and it works for them.
