How it works

You start by writing your speech. It would be better if you did it yourself, but we are always going to be there for you to suggest corrections and improvements should you ever need any. We could even write the whole speech for you – I have personally written a slew of tell-me-about-yourself type of speeches for fake job interviews, and even a “Father-of-the-bride” speech for a wedding in Boston a few years ago.

If no topic comes to your mind, just take a passage from your favorite book or yank an article from the web – that simple. Yes, your speech could either be very specific, contain a lot of “shop talk”, or just be general in nature. It’s a great exercise, which is very useful for your English language skills development. No matter what – you can only win here. You’re safe with us.

Then, practice your recording. Get the copy you think is the best and just send it to Sound Smart Training via e-mail. If we like the technical quality of your recording, we will take you from there. If not, we will suggest technical ways of making a decent recording.

What you get

Then your recording will be analyzed by at least two independent speech pathologists, ESL educators, accent reduction or public speaking specialists from the United States – always native speakers and trained experts in their field. You do need a professional native speaker to make a quality assessment of your speech.

Further, we will combine their findings and suggestions into a customized feedback report. This report will contain suggested techniques for self-improvement.

You don’t have to stop there – we will be honored to continue working with you and coach you via Skype, check your progress and give it another run of assessments, if you are only willing.

You will get there – we guarantee it!
