The Lowdown: Improve Your Speech - British English

The voice exercises are highly effective and very helpful, just like having your own personal and professional voice coach! I would recommend this for anyone wanting to improve their vocal skills or public speaking as it will give them more confidence and enable them to be clearly understood.

I really enjoyed listening to this title and it does go into great detail about current and correct pronunciation of words and sentences, and the linguistics and muscle movements behind speech. I really think anyone could benefit from listening to this no matter how advanced their spoken English.

What was a little disappointing for me was that the recording covers a huge amount of ground in an hour and I felt it would have been better if presented more slowly, repeating the various points in different ways to help you digest them. It felt very rushed with 2-3 hours being more realistic to deal with all the exercises and lessons - like having an hour to eat a five course meal.

You do need a quiet place to practice several of the exercises, definitely not one for the tube!

For german speakers looking to better their speech generally as well as improve their clarity in the english language, this is a wonderful tool. Highly recommendable for foreign language teachers to back up English lessons in a very entertaining manner!

This is a useful book even if English is not your first language. I am not a native English speaker but found it very helpful for improving my accent. I also have downloaded the Level 2 which is very good and goes at a little bit slower pace. This first book is excellent but you will have to stop and start your player for the exercises I think! The narrator has a very good voice. I would like level 3 now!

'This was easy to listen to, easy to follow. Straightforward tips that really helped me.'

I found "Improve Your Speech - British English (unabridged)" to be an invaluable tool for improving my pronunciation. It is clear, easy to use and well organized and I would highly recommended to my fellow Chinese speakers as well as anybody interested in polishing their spoken British English.

fantastic audio, full of many useful clues not only for Brits various witty remarks. I can't wait for part 2.

This audiobook has worked wonders for my speech. I spent an hour in the early morning listening to it and practising some of the exercises. At work everybody was impressed by me speaking so clearly, clients as well as colleagues.

This audiobook can work wonders in so little time. My sister has spent over £300 on elecution lessons. I'm surpsrised I can now speak much better than her.
