ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Dr. Elisabeth Slaten has helped numerous people find their voice and clearly and powerfully communicate. As Voice and Presentation Coach, she uses her 17 years of experience in vocal production and stage presence, as well as a deep understanding of English language diction, to help her clients develop the ability to speak and present with clarity, presence, and confidence in any scenario.
APPROACH
Dr. Slaten is known for her holistic approach to working with clients. According to a study by Albert Mehrabian only 7% of effective communication is a result of the words chosen, leaving 93% of all communication to HOW they are communicated (link to her blogpost on this topic here). The human voice is powerful and unique, and the body is intricately connected to how the voice is produced. With a background in opera performance and teaching, Dr. Slaten is in a particularly unique position to instruct her clients how to use their voice, their breath, their words and sounds, their body and carriage to effectively and authentically communicate. She is a specialist in teaching English Language Diction, and enjoys working with clients whose native language is not English. Sessions with her include warm up exercises, diction help where needed, breathing techniques for speaking, and coaching over your presentation, sales pitch, or speech. She seeks to provide quantifiable improvements that help her clients level up in every situation they are required to communicate.
