Our Unique Approach

Bespoke to You

From the beginning of your coaching journey your coach will take time to understand your communication goals, and then create a course tailored to your needs and goals, so you get the results you want.

The Serlin Method™

Our trademarked method is simple, yet the results are profound. From unique exercises like ‘Tube Story’, through to ‘Meal Plan’ for sizzling content, learning is gamified, empowering and the tools become yours seamlessly and for life.

See for Yourself

In each session we film and voice record so you can see and hear your progress for yourself. This puts you in the driving seat. It’s not about us telling you what is good, you get to see for yourself the profound effects of the tools.

A Touch of Magic

We have worked hard to make sure your learning experience with us is touched by magic, from the brilliance of your LSW coach through to the powerful metaphors in the method, to the support from the head office team.

Some of our powerful Elocution tools

Elocution Assessment

A road map so you know which sounds are your frenemies, what habits you need to get rid of and what you need to do to be cooking with gas, every time.

Vowel Sounds

Vowels are the building blocks of an accent. Let’s make sure your vowels are telling the story of you that you want to be told.

The Glottal Stop

Is it bu–er or butter and does it matter? Yes it does. Lets crisp up your T’s and D’s and ensure your consonant sounds are crystal clear. It makes all the difference.

Nothing or Nuffink

Certain sounds are a trip hazard – no two ways about it. The good news is, we are experts at disentangling. The Th or F, the pesky NK, the R of Rose. We will light the way on the sounds you need.

Word Stress & Rhythm

Make sure the rhythm of your speech is melodic and the emphasis is where it should be… This will serve you in more ways than you can imagine.

Practice that Works

Practise with recordings and filming so you can train your ear and take the learning with you. See the changes in the session and practise on the go for the most impact.

"Extremely helpful Elocution course - helps in delivering clarity in day to day speech as well as for presentations. "

Devesh N

UK

"I am now much more confident and the elocution training has helped me greatly when making presentations and speaking in public. I can't recommend Emma and her team more."

Joanna B

UK

"Towards the middle of the course I could hardly recognise my own voice anymore. Her techniques and training skills greatly helped me with elocution, intonation and learning non-rhotic sounds."

Martina F

UK

"Through these concepts, I now own the word, instead of letting the word own me. With this confidence I have begun to play with words and really define the emotion I want to convey through it too."

What is Elocution?

How quickly will I see an improvement?
v

Most clients notice an immediate improvement after the Taster Session, where you’ll record a before-and-after to see the changes. Your communication journey with LSW involves four learning stages:

  1. Unconscious incompetence
  2. Conscious incompetence
  3. Conscious competence
  4. Unconscious competence

By the end of your course, aim for conscious competence, where you can use new skills with focus. Eventually, these skills become second nature, like driving. After mastering one aspect, you can tackle other communication skills, such as handling spontaneous questions. Your journey continues beyond the course, with access to discounted sessions as part of the LSW family.
