Steve Dapper is an educator and entrepreneur with various projects, including language learning. He created Vocal Fitness — an innovative, patented system designed to master English phonetics. As Steve explains, he developed this method after observing how Italians learn English: they often know the grammar well but struggle with pronunciation and intonation. His course helps students “tune their voice” and learn to speak English as confidently as they sing or perform on stage. The program is based on the idea that mastering English sounds is a skill that requires training the speech organs just like muscles in sports. That’s why the lessons resemble vocal warm-ups. During classes, students repeat sounds, rhythms, and accents while training their breathing, articulation, and listening.

Steve Dapper collaborates with the Italian university eCampus and also works as a motivational speaker and influencer. He partners with the radio stations Radio Norba and Radio 105 and shares lesson clips and exercises to improve pronunciation on the Instagram page of the Dappersclass project.
