SIMON GFELLER (Accent Reduction - Elocution)
Welcome to my profile! For further questions or to start tuition, send me a message!
Based in Cambridge (U.K), I help corporate clients and members of the student and academic community improve on their clarity and intelligibility in English.
Unlike other teachers who focus on endless theory, I get straight to the point sand help you reduce your accent by:
Evaluating your accent through the creation of your unique "Sound Map"
Packaging your "tricky sounds" into digestible patterns
Addressing those patterns strategically
STUDENT DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE!!!!
Also, check out my article on speech coaching for professionals!
S.
I currently work as an accent reduction teacher for an established language school in Cambridge U.K. where I help non-native English speakers improve on elocution, intelligibility and vocal confidence.
I have also taught spoken voice placement, accent reduction, diction and presentation techniques at University du Quebec a Montreal, whilst based in Canada.
I work on improving your vocal projection, vocal reliability and overall confidence for public presentations. Other vocal health issues may also be addressed...Be in touch!
I am also a very active performer singing both in the UK and abroad. Recent soloist engagements include Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), Royal Festival Hall, St-Martin in the Fields, Opera de Montreal, English Touring Opera and others.
I teach voice institutionally as well as privately from my studio at home.
Please see my performing CV under the "experience" section of this Interview for more info.
I truly enjoy teaching and helping my students discover the possibilities their voices have to offer!
