Competition is fierce and our success is dependent upon our communication and public speaking and presentation skills.
If we don’t master our communication and pronunciation skills, then we risk losing important opportunities (and maybe even our jobs).
Welcome, I’m AnnJoan
I'm here to help you master your communication and public speaking skills so that your voice and on-stage presence become an asset in your career. I specialize in public speaking, presentation skills, voice and speech therapy, speech training for actors, English pronunciation, foreign/regional accent reduction and dialect acquisition.
My speech training programs are customized and designed to address your individual needs in a positive, encouraging, caring and fun environment.
Expert analysis of your unique speech patterns as well as the ways you fail to project confidence while speaking will make you aware of how and where you deviate from the ideal sounds you want to achieve. You will be empowered with tools to self-monitor and self-correct so that you give the impression of a polished professional every time.
Once you walk through my door, your ability to communicate effectively, with clarity and confidence becomes MY problem and responsibility, not yours. And I have total faith in my ability to deliver the solution you need.
