  • Could your speech be holding you back?


    Could your speech be holding you back?






    The way you speak is certainly one of the most personal things about you.  It impacts on your success in professional and social settings, from job interviews to meeting new people.  In a competitive employment market, those with the ability to speak clearly and with conviction have the edge.


    Let me tell you about a program based at the e-centre at Massey University which can help to neutralize foreign or regional accents, improve speech clarity, reduce speech problems such as mumbling and stuttering and teach you how to reach the full potential of your voice and speech. 

    It is called SpeechSchool.TV, a subscription-based Internet TV Channel that is the result of over 30 years learning and practice in the area of English speech training and accent/voice coaching. 

    SpeechSchool.TV provides high quality audio visual training every week along with downloadable exercises and recordings for daily practice.  In this way it replicates the sessions with a leading voice coach, as delivered to well known politicians, actors and international celebrities. 

    However, using the online model, the level of deep immersion and ongoing exposure required to truly make a difference to your speech, for the first time, becomes affordable and within the reach of every learner.

    Whether you want to neutralise a foreign or regional accent, speak more clearly, overcome speech problems such as mumbling/stuttering or develop your presentation standard to a broadcast level, SpeechSchool.TV will transform your speech - impacting the quality of what you say and how you say it.

    I encourage you to take this opportunity to find out more.  Please visit the website at www.speechschool.tv.

    Best wishes,
    Smart Accent


    "SpeechSchool.TV is a great solution to a significant issue - the large numbers of people globally needing to interact well in the English language."
    - Rob Spray, CEO, Telecommunications Industry Group

    "I have now achieved my goal of gaining a job in my field in London!  Thank you so much for the speech training you provide.  It has neutralised my accent and given me confidence and the ability to present myself well in interview situations.  Due to this I have been able to gain work here shortly after arriving."
