Description

Do you struggle with sounding authoritative in meetings at work?
Do you feel like you sound boring when you talk to others?
Do you wish you had a more confident effective speaking voice?

Mastering key skills of American English Intonation can fix that!

Intonation is the melody of your speech. It's like having emojis in your voice. The problem many ESL speakers have is that they use the intonation of their first language with the English language, and sometimes that can cause problems.

Your intonation is the key to turning your everyday conversations into EFFECTIVE, INTERESTING conversations! Effective intonation will have you owning the stage (or meeting, if that's what you're into).

Your intonation tells them what you REALLY MEAN, it indicates how interested or interestING you are, and it reveals your AUTHORITY and CONFIDENCE (or lack of it!)
