Clear Speech as a Modern Status Signifier

In a globalised world, clear speech has quietly become a marker of confidence and credibility.

The ability to pronounce words precisely and speak with rhythm and flow signals not only education but also awareness — an ease in crossing cultures.

While accent itself should never define intelligence or worth, clear articulation often shapes first impressions in business, interviews, and everyday communication. 

In Singapore, where English connects diverse communities, the difference between “tink” and “think” can subtly influence how others perceive professionalism. 

Clear speech isn’t about imitation; it’s about presence. It shows that you value being understood — and that you can move comfortably between worlds.
