Speech Therapy and Voice Enhancement

Your voice is a unique instrument. Within the first 10 seconds of a conversation, listeners make judgments about your personality, credibility, educational level, and professionalism. Proper voice techniques can mean the difference between closing a sale, making an effective presentation, or communicating effectively with colleagues, customers and management. How is your voice working for you?


At Accent on Communication, we evaluate each client’s speech with a communication audit. This identifies verbal and nonverbal skills which may cause a negative vocal image. We assess your voice quality, rate, pitch, projection, posture and breathing techniques -- and any annoying habits that interfere with your vocal presentation. We then develop a personal voice improvement program that allows you to speak more clearly, confidently and professionally and get your message across with impact.
