& Voice Enhancement
“The U.S. English Coaching has given me the tools that I needed to become a more successful professional. My voice was much too quiet, however, prior to the training, I did not know how to change this. My rate was also much too fast. Ms. Dellenback taught me to control my rate, as well as she gave me a way to monitor myself for appropriate rate and volume during my conversations with people, which in turn has made a major impact on my professional career.”
“Although I’ve always felt that I’ve had important things to say, before the U.S. English Coaching, I was reluctant to speak up in meetings because of my pronunciation. Now, as I work to continually improve my voice and speech skills, I am personally more confident and professionally more effective. I only wish I had received this type of training from Ms. Dellenback 10 years ago!”
