I devised this course, so as to; provide voice and communication training for male-to-female (MtF) clients and for female-to-male (FtM) clients. In general, men and women communicate differently. For example, most men tend to speak with lower pitched voices, while women use higher pitched voices. Women often use more gestures when they speak. Men may use shorter sentences that get more to the point. Individuals who are transgender/transsexual often elect to have voice and communication therapy to help them use their voice in a safe way and communicate more like the opposite gender of that in which they were born. Benefits: • A chance to practice vocal skills in a conversational context. • Increased confidence and self-advocacy in a safe, inviting environment. • The opportunity to share information about the transgender community. • An occasion to interact with other women around shared experiences. • An important interaction between skill-building and relationship-building in the therapeutic process. • Establishing emotional expression and intensity levels when communicating.

Elocution is speaking in a polished and professional way. Accent Reduction is when you reduce your current accent (Coloured, African, Afrikaans, European, etc.) so that you can sound more neutral English like what you hear in South Africa. The course makes you aware of the sound system (or phonology) of a language or dialect: which include identifying problems in the person's current speech from the desired accent (such as pronunciation, speech patterns, and speech habits), changing the way one uses the mouth, teeth, and tongue to form vowel and consonant sounds, modifying one's intonation and stress patterns, and changing one's rhythm. Using this method, individuals trying to help their communication; will learn how to alter their speech to more closely resemble the accent of neutral English commonly used in SA and abroad, thus enhancing the clarity of their communication within the workplace. Benefits: •Greater confidence when speaking in public, business and social situations •Better Communication with people at conferences, meetings and or on the telephone •Greater awareness of how to use your voice effectively •Professionalize the way you speak •Improved results when you need to get your ideas across •Elocution Techniques to control and project your voice •A reduction of any specific voice features including a regional or national accent •Clear speech and diction in a neutral accent helping you reach your potential and goals.

What should be the main goal of any pronunciation class or course? What are the kinds of exercises that will help you improve your pronunciation? First, the main goal of any Elocution/pronunciation course should be to focus on accent reduction, not accent elimination, which is technically impossible. Students should work on reducing areas of their pronunciation and enunciation that make it difficult for native speakers to understand them. Second, with this goal in mind, students need to be able to identify which areas of pronunciation and enunciation give them the most inaudibility; such as, vowel and consonant sounds, word and sentence stress, word reductions, linking, and intonation. Finally, you need to practice these structured exercises to extemporaneous speech in different situations, because practice makes perfect. Improving your pronunciation will take a lot of patience and commitment, but the end product - your unique, well developed voice - is worth it! SKYPE LESSONS AVAILABLE

REFERENCES: Fusi Nkoala – CCFM: “My native language is Sotho, so speaking English was difficult for me and coupled with presenting I really needed help. Barbara was very patient with me and accommodating (as I am studying and sometimes can’t attend class) she didn’t mind moving my class times around to meet my needs. She made me aware of my speech faults, pace and how when I am on radio I do the weirdest things – rebound at the end of a word. She really helped me achieve my goal of being a permanent radio presenter on CCFM. She is brilliant!” Sisanda Nkoala – Bush Radio and Goodhope: “After completing my course I really wanted to get a slot on Goodhope, Barbara was so encouraging and inspiring and helped me each step of the way.
