How does online pronunciation training work?

You’ve all heard the Madonna song, “You know that we are living in the digital world, and we are all digital girls…” We may have taken a little creative licence and updated it for the current times, considering none of us can get our hands on actual material things these days in a practical lockdown. But the saying rings true! We are currently living in a world where we are best connected to people, not through coffee chats and lunch breaks, but through web chats and phone calls. Online communication is playing a large part in our community and is going to continue to get stronger. So, if you’re not already, jump on board the online train to Communication Town, with your instructors the Voice Science Team! Voice Science has been running a virtual online clinic for 6 years. We are well versed in how to make technology work for us and our clients and often take sessions online with our regulars all over the globe. So how can our online pronunciation training benefit your goals and how does it compare to in clinic sessions? Read on to find out.

Familiarity

If we had to pick one thing that makes our online pronunciation training sessions so phenomenal, it would have to be the fact that they run the exact same way as our in clinic sessions.

As humans, we tend to stick to routines and do not appreciate when they need to be altered. But guess what? Our online sessions can suit even the most inflexible of us as they are very similar to our clinic sessions. We still teach sounds the same way, you still have pictorial visuals as well as us speechies showing you exactly how your mouth needs to move based on our demonstrations. We still mix up our resources to make activities and practice engaging and we still target the same goals. Sure, the activities we choose may differ slightly to suit online pronunciation training. But one thing is for sure, you will still be receiving great quality services regardless of whether you step foot into our clinic rooms or not.

Time Saving

Often our online pronunciation training clients, whether they live in Melbourne or not, chose to have online sessions because of how convenient it is. You don’t have to ensure the trains are running to time and no worries about finding a carpark. In fact, you can easily fit your online pronunciation training in during your lunch break. These sessions allow you to run your class anywhere you can. Whether it be your apartment, work desk, hotel room or parents couch. As long as your laptop is charged and Wifi is working, you can work on your communication anywhere.

Using our online pronunciation training services also ensures that your materials, notes and tips are all within the one place. That is why we have set up the Voice Science Practice Platform the way we have! All your learning material and notes can be accessed online, wherever you may be, to ensure your communication goals are easily accessible at all times.

But let’s take a break about thinking about your communication goals for a second. Yes they are important, and we want to make it as accessible for you as possible. But, if you are able to save time by using our online pronunciation training service , what does that mean for you? Well, it means you have more time to:

• play with your dogs,
• finish that book you have been meaning to do for the last 2 months,
• bake your mum’s famous banana bread recipe
• or take up a hobby you have been wanting to do but never seem to have the time to start.

Well, here is your time – we won’t let you waste it!

If you’re wondering at this point, ‘how do I know exactly when and where to use the Schwa in English words and sentences?’, our Speech Pathologists have done that work for you!

We use evidence-based methods to systematically equip you with practical pronunciation tools and strategies to identify these in your English speaking. We offer online pronunciation training that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Resources

We would not be telling you about the benefits of online therapy sessions if we weren’t fully prepared to put these in place effectively ourselves. We have lots and lots of resources at our disposal to ensure we are able to provide effective online pronunciation for our clients for our clients. Not only do we have the Voice Science Practice Platform to assist with the heavy lifting of drill based sound practice, but we also have a whole host of other online resources at our disposal.  

The best part about this is the fact that all the resources we show you online, can be accessed whenever you feel like it because it’s all out there on the World Wide Web.
