Rating: Summary: Just not for me Review: A lively, compact and professional quick course. This is aimed at personal communication. Although applicable to public speaking, that is only addressed by-the-way. There are clearly-directed exercises with time estimates to achieve results. You'll need a tape recorder with a microphone to get very much from the exercises. Superb sound quality. Tapes only, no text.If you want to speak more clearly, or if you want to sound more like an announcer, or if you want your speaking to have more impact, this will probably help. The title is very accurate. It could also be called, "Speak Like You Want Them To Listen."

Rating: Summary: Just not for me Review: Her voice sounds nasally just like she complained about someone else's. I couldn't follow. You have to be able to discern the sound of your own voice and how it sounds to others and how to make your voice sound like the tape. too confusing for me. finding my natural tone instead of mimicing the tape was hard. still trying.

Rating: Summary: Finally got!! What I wanted !! Review: I recently bought "The Sound of Your Voice" by Dr Carol Fleming. After listening to all the 4 cassettes, I felt I made a right choice. I was really impressed by the concepts discussed in the cassettes, I must say. Citing the practical real-life examples, Dr Carol Fleming helps us in analyzing the qualities of a good voice. There are several exercises & assignments, which help us identifying our voice defects & subsequenly correct them. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in improving his or her 'sound of voice'.
Rating: Summary: Not what I thought Review: I thought I was buying an audio cassette that demonstrated speech improvement drills and exercises to help me improve the clarity and pitch of my voice. However, I felt the tape was more of just a general overview of the dimensions of your speaking voice. I was disappointed.

They cover all aspects of the human voice and give helpful exercises for making improvements. I was quite pleased with this set of tapes. They deliver what they promise.
