As part of our public speaking project, Keith and I decided to have elocution lessons in an attempt to ‘speak proper’. We thought it would help us to soften our accents and enable us to communicate in a more clear and distinct manner.
After a bit of internet searching, we found the ‘London Speech Workshop’, run by a young lady – Emma Serlin, or as we like to call her – ‘Elocution Emma’.
When I first phoned Elocution Emma, I distinctly remember her being very well spoken, as you would expect from an elocution teacher, but more than this she sounded very attractive, almost sexy. I noticed myself attempting to speak in the best way I could, pronouncing each word as well as possible. When arranging a time for my lesson, I asked her ‘What time are you open to?’, to which she immediately responded ‘What time am I open until?’. She was good. I liked her already.
