Private Speaking Voice Lessons Near You
Have you ever wished you could speak more clearly and expressively, with precise articulation and diction? Can you image standing up in front of ten, 100, or even 1,000 people to speak and feeling confident, instead of fearful? Do you dream of a career in broadcasting, but struggle to master a neutral accent? By studying elocution with a private speaking voice teacher, you can do these things.
Working with an elocution teacher, you'll learn the art of public speaking. You'll not only study the physical principles of proper breathing, speaking, projection, and articulation, but also the craft of delivering a speech with expression, thoughtfully placed emphasis, and a cool head. In speaking voice classes, you'll gain confidence that travels through your voice to inspire an audienc

Why Learn How to Improve Your Speaking Voice?
Most of us talk every day, throughout the day, so it's only natural to wonder why it might be a good idea to practice speaking even more. When you study elocution with a speaking voice teacher, you'll learn to speak more intentionally. You'll improve your confidence and learn to speak more clearly. You'll improve your diction, enunciation, and projection.
Working one-on-one with a speaking voice tutor can help you further your career in acting, broadcasting, voice acting, business, politics, entertainment, teaching, motivational speaking, or DJing. Speaking lessons are great for people who frequently find themselves on the stage or in front of a crowd. They're also wonderful for anyone who needs to use their voice professionally (and that's almost everyone).
The way you speak, your quality and confidence of voice, and the way you present yourself while speaking all affect how others view you. Your speaking voice can immediately give a listener (sitting in an audience or across the board room table) the impression of weakness and timidity or strength and confidence. By learning to improve your speaking voice, you'll learn how to control the persona you convey to whomever happens to hear you. You'll learn to sound powerful, compassionate, excited, and energized. You'll learn how to gain the respect and attention of entire rooms just by opening your mouth.
The Best Way to Learn Elocution and What You'll Study in Speaking Voice Classes
You can find plenty of free speaking voice classes and tutorials online, but the best way to learn how to improve your speaking voice is with a private teacher. Your lessons will be completely tailored to meet your needs, strengthen your unique voice, and help you overcome your own individual challenges. With your teacher's undivided attention and immediate feedback, you'll improve fast.
Teachers also design lessons with the student's preferred learning style in mind. For example, speaking voice lessons for adults differ greatly in terms of content and teaching methods from speaking voice classes for kids. No matter your age, you'll stay interested and motivated, as you work at a comfortable pace.
Sample Curriculum for Beginner Speaking Voice
If you have little or no public speaking or elocution experience, then beginner lessons are right for you. Your teacher will introduce you to the basics of training and improving your speaking voice. Your teacher might choose to cover the following topics:
- Introduction to mouth, nasal, chest, and diaphragm voices
- Practice proper breathing
- Diaphragm projection
- Diction exercises and tongue twisters
- Accent reduction
Sample Curriculum for Intermediate Speaking Voice
If you've already had some previous experience with public speaking or prior elocution lessons, then intermediate classes are for you. You'll learn to expand your range and project your voice safely. Your teacher might cover the following topics:
- Develop resonance
- Increase vocal coordination
- Stretch your vocal flexibility
- Isolate and strengthen individual muscles for improved articulation
Sample Curriculum for Advanced Speaking Voice
If you're already an adept public speaker, advanced lessons can help you further hone your craft. You'll have the opportunity to work and practice with a professional. Subjects covered in advanced lessons depend on the student's interests and goals, but your teacher might cover the following topics:
- Speaking expressively
- Pick your focus: elocution for acting, business, broadcasting, public speaking, etc.
- Lear to speak expressively
- Master the art of captivating and connecting with an audience
- Performance preparation
