They would communicate with clarity—and your business would run more effectively. Through Dale Klein’s expertise in voice coaching and accent reduction, people of all backgrounds have learned how to express themselves and navigate the intricacies of American business culture.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

Accent Reduction is a complete instructional program for people who speak English as a second language. Dale starts with a personalized assessment for each individual, analyzing pronunciation, stress and intonation, rate, volume, nonverbal cues and other aspects of speech. Using that analysis, she collaborates with the person to develop goals and the practical strategies to achieve them.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLES

As a result of their work together, the professor modified her intonation, improved her lecture style—and won substantially higher ratings in student surveys.



• An obstetrician from India wanted to launch a cable TV program that communicated his passion for meditation. After Dale helped him focus on modifying his intonation and rate of speech, he found himself speaking clearly and confidently in front of the camera.



• A Pakistani gentleman was pursuing his license as a psychiatrist—but couldn’t pass the verbal component of his licensing exam. Through Dale’s help, he learned to conduct clear case-history interviews and readily articulate diagnoses as well as symptoms.
