- Correcting Speech & Breathing Problems

Through the years may people have come to me for help with certain speech and articulation problems that were slightly defective as well as accent correction and of course shortness of breath (non medical).

In speaking, the principles of articulation, clarity and naturalness are the primary skills required for effective communication. These qualities can be refined and dramatically improved by using voiceover articulation techniques.

Learning cadence exercises and other voiceover techniques provides the reframe of coordination to help resolve a wide range of these problems. Fixing these kinds of issues can contribute in a major way to success in any professionals career.

Whether you're a teacher, sales professional, lawyer, CEO, public speaker, voiceover artist, broadcaster or presenter, contact me for a free consultation and lets see what can be done to resolve anything in your speech that you feel is a distraction in your communications with people.

- Say Unvoiced Consonants With Mouth Air

We corrected some articulation problems in class last night. When F sounds and S sounds are too violent...you know, when it sounds a bit like Sylvester the cat...It's because there is too much "sub glottal  pressure".  Don't use the same breath support that you use for vowels and voiced consonants. That much support from the lungs makes the unvoiced consonants violent. If you say those unvoiced consonants just with "mouth air" they will be just right. An F or an S is like a drop of water on the stove:)
