N/AClass Experience
Communication is an important element of life. Oral communication can be challenging for many people. Being able to articulate your thoughts, enunciate your opinions and have good diction all result in being able to get the words out of your mouth in a clear manner. It is a muscle that can be trained and worked on through exercise and practice. There is power in being able to communicate orally. There is a confidence that a person has when their words are understood. I created this class because I want children to have that confidence and power. This is a 4-week long self-paced class that focuses solely on the "S" sound. We will do fun tongue twister exercises and work on multisyllabic words every week in order to improve diction and articulation with the "S" sound. This course is full of repetition of various sounds, syllables, vowels, consonants, words and phrases. Every week students will be introduced to new drills and exercises in order to improve diction and articulation with the "S" sound. Because this is a self-paced class, students will be able to rewatch the lessons to ensure they are saying the words correctly and repeat while they practice. All exercises will help with enunciation and diction. This is a great class for anyone interested in acting, broadcasting, joining a debate team, wanting to become more confident in speaking or just wanting to improve diction and articulation. No prior experience is needed. My approach and experience comes from an acting background and these are exercises that I do myself on a regular basis. This will be a safe and respectable place where all are welcome. Consult the syllabus for a breakdown of the lessons by week. Remember that PRACTICE IS THE KEY 😊 Enroll today and start your journey on improving communication!
