Foundational Sounds

Working from the book Speak with Distinction by Edith Skinner, we will identify and target the sounds needed for clarity when speaking to an American audience. Focusing on the tongue, as well as jaw and lip placement and movement, we will unlock the physical mechanics of diction for reliable and lasting change.

“Being a business program manager at Microsoft, I have to deal with a lot of presentations & storytelling. However, I was not very confident in my English pronunciation as a Mandarin Chinese speaker. Aimée’s systematic training method has helped me so much on not just saying the specific words or sentences, but also finding a way to better understand rules in English speaking.”
