Elocution

Your course will include 6, 11 or 16 one-hour sessions depending on what floats your boat. Each course is fully bespoke, tailored around your goals and needs. You’ll also receive an amazing manual that can be used alongside your sessions and to practise at home! You will have the full support of your coach and the LSW Head Office team during your course, as well as an online portal where you can manage your sessions. (Note, our 6, 11, 16 session courses include a discounted taster session in the price – book straight to course stress free with our money back guarantee).

Yes, we are not a cookie cutter with a one-size fits all approach. Our courses are made to fit you and never the other way round! The first step in personalising your journey with us is a Discovery Call with one of our incredible Client Success Managers so we can understand your ultimate communication goals and aspirations. From this we can recommend a coach that best fits your needs and then your coach will tailor your Taster Session and bespoke course.

Yes, if that is what suits your personal needs and will help you achieve your goals in the best way possible, then our coaches can certainly mix in elements of different courses for you. Our courses are totally bespoke, personalised and designed to fit you; we love to make our courses as unique as you are!

Our 6-session courses will cover all of the basics you need to transform your communication, but you need to make sure you’re putting in the practice alongside (practice definitely does make perfect!). Our 11-session courses allow for a bit more breathing space so that all tools can be explored more deeply as well as giving time for them to really sink in. Our 16-session courses allow you to really dive into the tools and techniques covered by the Serlin Method™ and give you ample opportunity to practise them with your coach and for everything to become second nature!
With that said, the amount of sessions our coaches recommend completely depends on your personal goals and your learning style. For Accent related goals, we recommend a minimum of 11 sessions so that you have enough time to cover all of the sounds in neutral spoken English with our amazing coaches. (Note, our 6, 11, 16 session courses include a discounted taster session in the price – book straight to course stress free with our money back guarantee).

Elocution is for native English speakers who want to become clearer and more confident communicators. If you mumble, use fillers or drop your t’s and d’s then our Elocution Course is just the thing to set you on the path to becoming a communication master!

It all depends on your goals and how much work you’re willing to put in alongside your sessions. The majority of our clients see an immediate difference just from the Taster Session – you’ll be invited to record yourself before and after the session so you can see the incredible difference just one session can make!
There are four stages of learning to your communication journey with LSW:
1. Unconscious incompetence
2. Conscious incompetence
3. Conscious competence
4. Unconscious competence
When you’ve completed a course, you should aim to be at the conscious competence stage. This means that when you’re really focussed on the new skills, they can make a massive difference. It won’t be in your speech all the time yet though – it takes a while to become habitual. Once you’ve finished your course, the balls in your court to then make sure you’re working towards making yourself unconsciously competent – making it a habit. It’s a bit like driving a car – when you’re a fully experienced driver – you’re still focussing on the road but you’re not thinking to yourself “I need to check my mirrors” or “I shall now touch on the brake as I approach the roundabout” – these things happen automatically, and that’s the level you should aim to get to with your communication too. Once you’re at this stage with one part of your communication, you can then work on other challenges. For example, you might be excellent when prepared for a presentation, but still feel a shock of panic when you’re asked spontaneous questions – that’s an entirely different skill. Your journey doesn’t end when you finish your course – you can build up other strands of your communication over time, and come back to us for more sessions. Once you’ve worked with us, you’re part of the LSW family and have access to discounted courses – get in touch to find out more.

We offer both remote coaching sessions, through Zoom, and face-to-face sessions in our central London offices (you can choose from 4 locations: Mayfair, Victoria, Bank and Holborn). Some of our coaches offer regular weekly in person sessions (only in London at the moment) and all of our coaches offer regular sessions via Zoom. Face-to-face sessions are limited so we do recommend that you book in advance so you don’t miss out – they’re well worth the wait though.
