Free Speech Clarity Assessment
Find out what may be making your speech harder to follow

Who It's For
Clear, confident speech depends on more than what you say. Pronunciation, word stress, rhythm, pacing, vocal clarity, and, for some speakers, accent-related patterns can all affect how easily an audience follows you.
This free assessment is for professionals who want to understand which aspects of their speech may be increasing listener effort, whatever the source.
It is not about changing how you sound for the sake of sounding different. It is about identifying what is getting in the way of clear, easy-to-follow communication, so your expertise gets the hearing it deserves.

The Rainbow Passage
Â
When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. These take the shape of a long round arch, with its path high above, and its two ends apparently beyond the horizon. There is, according to legend, a boiling pot of gold at one end. People look, but no one ever finds it. When a person looks for something beyond their reach, their friends say they are looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
What You’ll Receive
Lisa will review your recording for the speech patterns most likely to affect clarity and listener effort. You’ll receive personalized feedback on what she hears and where you may want to focus first.
This brief assessment is not a full diagnostic evaluation, but it can help determine whether targeted work on speech clarity, pronunciation, vocal delivery, or accent modification could be useful.
