Warm-up - Prep for Speech Training - Classroom
A complete warm-up takes only 9-minutes, in preparation for speech training, even in a large classroom. Deep stretching and deep breathing exercises can be accomplished from a standing position--nobody needs to lie on the floor. Feels good, and it really works.
Teacher-Training - Structural Vowels
At SpeechMasters, our teacher-training technique calls on the teacher or his assistant to shoot raw video footage, and upload it to Youtube. We then download, edit, and annotate clips for training purposes. We set up a video-conferencing meeting with the teacher, and discuss the video footage together--both to address specific issues, and to refine training methodology. Teachers should then show the lab video to their class, so that they can learn from it directly.
