What is elocution?

Elocution is the skill of clear and expressive speech, focusing especially on distinct pronunciation, articulation, and engaging delivery, so your message is always received exactly how you intended.

Elocution training will help you:

• Become an effective speaker
• Speak naturally with distinct pronunciation and articulation
• Avoid common grammatical mistakes and poor speech habits
• Improve your clarity and expressiveness
• Inject vitality and variety into your delivery
• Communicate confidently and effectively
• Reduce nasal tone
• Use artistic devices to improve your vocal presentation
• Increase voice projection
• Feel more confident and in control
• Reduce wear and tear on your vocal organs

We customise classes for your individual needs and conduct them one-to-one by appointment. You can expect four private lessons, each lasting approximately one hour.

We deliver this course in conjunction with our sister site, The Occasional Speaker. A highly experienced and qualified speech teacher will act as your coach.

The online course curriculum offers practical lessons, which we also teach one-to-one and tailor to you.
