The new movie "The King's Speech" is turning heads and winning awards (4 academy awards to be exact).It has also brought special attention to a service many did not know even existed: speech coaching.
Kate DeVore is a friend of Amplivox Sound Systems and a professional speech coach much like the coach in the movie. She helps people improve their speaking and overcome habits like accents and problems like speech impediments.
According to Kate, business at Total Voice Inc. was up 25% recently, presumably due to "The King's Speech."
