Speak Better with Rebecca Linquist
SPEAK BETTER helps you, as a native or non-native speaker of American English (but especially a non-native speaker), scale up your skills and confidence in public speaking, but also clear pronunciation, how to change your accent; should you change your accent? What is an accent vs. a dialect? What difference does it make? How can you communicate more strongly and show up with greater presence and impact? How do you do all this with less effort and greater authority, but not sound arrogant, or on the other side of the spectrum, indecisive? How do you strike a balance? This podcast will explore all of these areas and more in depth!
Join your host Rebecca Linquist, a Speech, Voice, Accent & Presence Coach with over 25 years of experience in the Silicon Valley of northern California.

Syncing verbal and non-verbal communication
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We all intuitively know that our non-verbal communication speaks louder than our verbalized speech, but have you ever thought about how the two fit together? If there's a disconnect, you could be alienating your audience by sending messages that are not consistent. Especially if you are working on your speech in American English and have made some changes, it's important to revisit how well your speaking patterns sync with your movement and expressions. This episode addresses these issues.
