As all of us know by now, the coronavirus has spread all across the world. It was just classified as a pandemic, which means it is a disease that has spread to a whole country, or over the whole world. Because of the coronavirus, companies are having to re-think the way they do business. Many companies like Amazon, Facebook, and others are requiring their staff to work from home. This means all of our business interactions are moving to a virtual platform.

That’s a huge change for many people, and it can be especially difficult for people who don’t speak clear English. When we are face-to-face, it’s easier for people to understand us, but when we are in a virtual meeting, on a platform like Webex, Google Hangouts, or Zoom, there are some things we need to do to make sure that people can understand us, and we can understand them.

Top 5 Pronunciation Tips for Virtual Meetings:

1. Don't talk too fast or too slow

2. Project your voice

3. Maintain good posture
Four Don’ts of Posture in Virtual Meetings
• Don’t slouch or slump. Your voice will not sound as clear, and it’s less professional-looking in the video.
• Don’t lean over to reach the microphone. It looks odd, and your voice will change.
• Don’t lean too far back. You’ll look bored, and you might be moving away from the microphone.
• Don’t move the microphone to be right next to your mouth.

4. Prepare in advance

5. Listen & Use Visual Cues When Possible
