Your voice coach

Hi

I’m Kimi Kimble, your professional tutor and voice coach for your speech journey.

If unclear speech is holding you back in your studies or career, then a Time-Online course is definitely for you. Our courses are for ‘committed’ students who may have tried other approaches and found they don’t produce a true or lasting result. There are no quick fixes!

Pronunciation and accent change are a skill

Like learning to play the piano, you cannot hope to master these by watching a series of short video clips. It takes much more to be able to think and pronounce fluently at the same time.

The professional ClearSpeak Method

Time-Online courses are based on the ClearSpeak Method developed over 25 years. Used in many universities internationally, professional speech therapy techniques set this course apart from others. It will give you your best shot at achieving a superior result.

Use fun techniques to learn

I’ll be guiding you every step of the way through many hours of masterclass videos and ‘listen-and-repeat’ exercises. You’ll be using lots of intuitive visualisations along with instructions about how to move your mouth into the correct position. Simply ‘telling’ you what to do, and asking you to mimic me, are never enough.

Accent change is not just about learning separate sounds

Whole accent change has three quite different aspects and all are essential:

  • FIRST you learn to make each new sound, one at a time.

  • SECOND you change the overall holding posture of your mouth as you speak. All your sounds are placed within this posture.

    This method is used by professional mimics to create a consistent and fluent accent. There is no other way. Your mouth must ‘feel’ it is operating quite differently when you change from one accent to another. Most pronunciation courses make no mention of this critical step.

  • THIRD you tune in to the speech melody of the English speech flow.

    This is quite different to learning about intonation and stress within individual sentences. The Time-Online texts encourage you to mimic the overall rhythmic melody, regardless of the words or sentences used in your speech flow.


So, take a look at the outline that follows to learn more. I’ll be delighted to have your company if you decide to join me.

All the best for now!

Your tutor,

Kimi

Too much theory before coming to the real practice of different sound. The title of the course gives the impression that the course is tailored to a specific accent (Vietnamese) of the learners, but it's actually not, same kit for all, so misleading!
