- At Clearspeech each client is an individual and each program is tailored to your needs: your particular accent or voice problem, your learning style and availability
- For accent reduction, 90 minute sessions are recommended to give you enough time to practice your target sounds and intonation patterns in a variety of contexts. Each session includes drill activities and reading along with more informal exercises and conversation.
- For presentation classes and voice improvement 60 – 90 minutes sessions are suggested. Clients are always encouraged to bring in materials from work to keep sessions connected to what is most important to them. Video recording is an important tool that assists in your presentation work
- A 90 minute session is $160, 60 minute sessions are $140, however many workplace insurance plans provide coverage for the services of a registered Speech-Language Pathologist. Check with your individual insurer to determine the extent of your coverage.
- Payments can be made at the end of each session by personal cheque or cash. Discounts may be offered for several sessions booked and paid for in advance.
How many sessions you will need to see a significant improvement in your voice or accent will depend on many factors including:
- Your motivation and commitment to practice
- For accents, how strong your accent is and how different your native language is from English
- For voice and presentation, success will depend on the nature of the original problem
- After 6-8 sessions you will usually see a significant change in your accent if you practice as suggested
- If you are working on voice you will usually see a significant change after 4 to 6 sessions if you practice as suggested
