Sussex Lipspeakers
What we do
A Lipspeaker is a hearing person who has been professionally trained to be easy to lip-read. We will accurately repeat the spoken message with or without our voice. You can ask for us to use our own voice while Lipspeaking. We will reproduce the rhythm, tone and flow used by the speaker, supporting their meaning with gesture and facial expression. If you use some sign language, this can be used alongside Lipspeaking if you feel this would benefit you. Please visit our website.
