 Public Speaking Fear can be Especially Challenging
if English is your Second Language. The Fearless Presentations® for the International Speaker public speaking
class helps participants communicate better by first reducing nervousness
so that the speaker slows down and is more
understandable to native English speakers
and other nationalities. At the same time
we help participant with pronunciation and
delivery. This program helps speakers create,
develop, and deliver dynamic presentations
with a reduced accent.
 This class is not designed to eliminate a
person's accent, but to allow the participant
to more easily be understood. The accent that a non-native speaking person
communicates with is part of his/her heritage
and culture, and the accent is an advantage
to a speaker in most cases. However, if an
accent is too strong, which sometimes occurs
when a speaker is put in a pressure situation
such as public speaking, the speaker may
be misunderstood. This class helps reduce
the pressure and nervousness and helps non-native
English speakers communicate in the "rythym"
of a native English speaker, to improve clarity.
There is no faster or easier
way to become
a more clear and easily understood
speaker
than with this program!
