      <title>Introduction to the Voice Course at TalkBusiness-Online.com</title>
      <description>This podcast discusses the benefits of taking the online voice course at www.TalkBusiness-Online.com.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If your business involves speaking to the public, you would most likely benefit from taking the Voice Course offered at our associated web site, talkbusiness&amp;#150;online.com.  &lt;br&gt;
This course will help keep you from developing laryngitis or vocal fatigue when talking for most of your workday. The Voice Course includes helpful techniques to protect and improve the speaking voice.
&lt;br&gt;
The listener is taught both approaches to help their voice and the underlying anatomy and physiology.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The course also teaches about correct breathing, vocal cord voicing, and mouth and nose vibration.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This Course will help improve pitch, loudness, and quality of the speaking voice by teaching specific techniques and exercises. A brief overview of how to give a public speaking presentation is also covered . &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The Voice Course usually costs a minimum of $850 per person, when taught face-to-face in a group setting. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Our internet based training is broken up into approximately 20 minute segments, so that the training does not have to be done all at one sitting.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We have incorporated all of the same 6 hours of training activities, normally provided face to face, plus many downloadable handouts into a broadband Internet based course at an introductory price of $180 per person. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
If you have found this short excerpt helpful, you may learn more by accessing the various training courses offered at TalkBusiness (Hyphen)Online.com. Individuals may lease these very affordable courses.  Companies, non-profits or governmental entities may arrange for group or long-term leasing of the training for several people taking the same module, or for one person taking all of the modules. La Rita Mason is the first licensed and certified speech-language pathologist in the world to offer totally Internet based training for anyone interested in improving their foreign accent, pronunciation, and/or voice.</description>
