Dr. Carol Fleming's book "It's The Way You Say It" is the first comprehensive guide for speech and voice improvement. As you communicate with people, they come to know you both as an individual and a professional person. The only way people can sense your intelligence and professionalism is through the effectiveness of your communication: what they hear you say, the attitude that is perceived, and the very sound of your voice. What Jay Conner, California is saying about "It's The Way You Say It" Dr. Fleming’s book is a revelation. What she does is so far beyond what you think of as speech therapy as to be a whole ‘nother world. She acts like a Minister of Communication, in the religious, not the governmental sense of the word. In this book she shows you how to present yourself, to show yourself off to best advantage. Her book is concise, direct and to the point, with lots of personal stories from her experience to make a lively reading experience. Tight, spare and engaging, with useful stories and clear instructions.

What if you knew that many of these great speakers sought professional help, received thoughtful guidance, worked very hard, and rehearsed? You might ask these speakers if they had a ‘secret weapon” in preparing their remarks. Or if they might be able to recommend a speaking coach so you can learn to be as good as they were.
Please don’t let your fear of public speaking stop you
Let’s imagine you are giving a party and want to make a welcoming speech to your guests. What would you do? Probably all of the following:
* Stand where you are most visible to the people
* Project your voice out to the whole group so you are easily heard
* Try to make eye-contact with many of the guests
* Have a pleasant expression on your face and a melody in your voice
* Make them feel comfortable and welcome.
When you want to improve any aspect of your speech there is one absolutely indispensible feature you must incorporate into your practice: other people. If you wanted to increase your vocabulary, of example, the stimulation of others will serve you better than time spent alone, agonizing over a list of words.
Credibility
Communication Skills play a more detailed role in determining your credibility. It doesn’t matter if you have the expertise and character for your occupation if you are unable to communicate this to other people. How do you communicate your expertise? Understanding that what you say, how you say it and how you look when you say it – must all carry the same message.
Communication problems have long been a sensitive topic, with people rightfully concerned about the feelings of those involved. But a window opened for us with the release of The King’s Speech and the topic of stuttering as the central issue of the Academy Award winning movie. Let’s shed some light on this topic!
Speech professionals (and those who stutter) are profoundly grateful for the positive imagery and role models for the nearly 68 million people worldwide who grapple daily with the indignities of speech disfluency, as it is known. Remember, there was a time when we had only Porky Pig as a role model!
As a therapist, I am so happy to see portrayed the perfect relationship between therapist and patient, an alliance built upon unbreakable trust, mutual respect and friendship.
