STEP ONE

The assessment, feedback and introduction session

• A short, non-formal (and non-scary!) assessment, so we can learn about your specific speech patterns and habits
• Discussion of your speech goals
• Education about the important factors that contribute to clear speech and the Australian accent, including factors such as vowels, stress, etc
• You receive specific, detailed feedback about the areas of your speech that are different to the Australian accent and sometimes making you difficult to be understood, and the areas we would be working on in future sessions
• Based on the above, we will recommend a plan, including how many training sessions you would benefit from

STEP TWO

Training sessions​

• Each session involves Pronounce It written and audio programs
• Each session looks at a specific area of pronunciation and the Australian accent, for example, long vowel sounds, syllable stress or difficult consonant sounds for you
• The sessions will involve a combination of therapeutic/educational strategies, including modelling, repetition, mirror use etc
• The sessions involve both formal activities (e.g use of written programs) and also more natural, functional activities, e.g mock interviews, role plays, mock presentations etc
• The sessions are all individualised and focus specifically on your pronunciation in the context of relevant work/social language for you
