Clear Diction for Busy Rooms

“In a noisy room or on a bad line people keep asking me to repeat myself.”

Consonants, vowels and word endings that survive background noise, accents kept as they are, clarity added on top.

What you will be able to do

  1. Be understood first time in open-plan offices and on calls

  2. Say figures and names so nobody writes them down wrongly

  3. Keep your own accent and still be clear
