Hello! I’m excited to announce American Accent Upgrade! This is a 5 week program at 15% off my normal rates is designed to get you closer to a clear and powerful American speaking voice. The program starts with a trial lesson where I assess your speaking and understand your goals. Once you purchase lessons and schedule your weekly sessions, I’ll design a program for you and send you the first chapter of your personalized textbook so you can get started. Then we’ll meet for 5 coaching sessions where I take you through how to improve the specific things that will have the most impact on your speech.
The curriculum I’ve developed is based on my years of experience as an accent coach and personalized for you. You will learn only the things YOU need, and we focus on the changes that will have the most impact on YOUR speech:
Week 1: Sounds, Rhythm and Flow
Week 2: Vowels
Week 3: Consonants
Week 4: Reductions/Linking/Rhythm
Week 5: Putting it all together
I can send more information if you want more details about each module. The program also includes check-ins by message between classes to answer questions and keep you motivated as well as an assessment at the end of the program to note your progress and make a plan for the future.
If you’re interested send me a message and tell me a little bit about yourself. If it seems like we could be a match then I’ll arrange for us to schedule a trial lesson and we can take it from there! Coaching sessions start July 1.
