Who is this client?

Timothy is a bilingual speaker of Cantonese and English. The nature of his work as a project manager required Timothy to speak more clearly and confidently. His key responsibilities:

  • Plan, organize, and direct the completion of specific projects for an organization.
  • Ensure company projects are completed on time, on budget and within scope.
  • Be able to deliver interactive presentations and motivate team members.
  • Speak to other people about ongoing projects and assign tasks.

What were his goals?

Timothy faced a common problem that is shared by many Native English speakers, the tendency to uptalk, which happens when statements rise at the end to sound like a question. As a result, the information he presented often appeared to be unimportant, as he sounded like he was uncertain of himself.

How did Speak Fluent's Speech-Language Pathologist help Timothy?

In order to address these problems, Timothy worked with one of our Speech-Language Pathologists to improve his articulation and intonation patterns. After two sessions, Timothy successfully achieved 100% accuracy in using the falling intonation at the end of a sentence. After using our services, our client was able to speak more clearly and confidently in a professional setting.
