Public Speaking & Professional Speech Skills

Speech Therapy for Public Speaking

Following an individualized assessment by one of our licensed SLPs, we will examine various aspects of your voice, speech, and communication skills to learn about your specific personal and professional demands. This information is used to determine specific areas of focus that will enhance your communication abilities.

These areas of focus may include exercises to improve:

  • Vocal projection and pitch control
  • Vocal quality and resonance
  • Vocal endurance and preventing vocal strain
  • Speech clarity
  • Fluency and pacing
  • Breath support for speaking
  • Mindfulness and relaxation strategies to optimize cognitive communication and word retrieval
  • Organizing and expressing your thoughts clearly and efficiently

TREATMENT

Education, exercises, strategies, techniques, and maneuvers to optimize voice production in healthy ways, manage stress and anxiety, enhance language organization, and speech delivery.

As a professional, your occupation may make it necessary for you to lead and manage meetings and speak in front of groups. Confidence and competence is essential to success, but presenting, lecturing, training, or delivering a speech may cause anxiety and stress. These emotions can have a tremendous impact on speaking, making one feel overwhelmed, foggy, dysfluent, and easily flustered.

Voice production may suffer as well. You may feel rushed, tight, or breathless. The natural tone and volume of your voice may vary, leaving you feeling embarrassed or unable to control your voice and speech.

Our personalized coaching and training integrate the highest standards of evidence-based techniques to enhance your communication abilities as rapidly and efficiently as possible. We provide support until you meet your goals and are at your service to ensure you speak with competence and confidence in all communication contexts.
