Preparing for that job interview or big presentation takes practice. Lots of practice. ELSA Speak’s AI-powered role-play feature helps you polish your pitch in a controlled, supportive environment. Here’s a quick guide to get you started and help you make the most of your prep time.

Start by picking one of ELSA Speak’s pre-set situations such as job interviews, casual small talk, travel conversations and business meetings. Or create custom scenarios by describing the context and tailoring sessions to your specific needs.

Pro tip: Don’t limit yourself to one type of conversation. Get experimenting to feel comfortable communicating in different settings.

Initiate the conversation and complete tasks for the scenario you’ve chosen. Speak naturally as if you’re talking to a real person, and ELSA AI will respond accordingly to create an immersive experience designed to build your confidence and fluency.

Pro tip: Lost for words? Tap the light bulb next to the microphone to see suggested responses.

After the role-play session, you’ll get detailed feedback on your performance, based on pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. This immediate and personalised feedback is crucial for identifying areas of improvement and tracking your progress over time.

Pro tip: Check out tabs designated to areas you’re looking to improve on for practical tips. On the Pronunciation tab, for example, ELSA Speak highlights any mispronunciations and suggests exercises to practise placing your tongue correctly.
