Learn and integrate American English accent and pronunciation speaking patterns for improved clarity and confidence!
Good communication skills are extremely important in the business world. Business professionals come to us from a variety of backgrounds, but the one thing they have in common is that they need to be understood in order to do their jobs well. No matter what your position is—CEO, manager, sales advisor, or some other job—AccentAccurate has a training program to help you communicate with confidence. Successful communication will substantially improve the impression you make when giving presentations, negotiating with clients and vendors, communicating with colleagues, and leading a team.
How American Accent Training with AccentAccurate Works
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) separates language into two parts: segmentals, which are the individual sounds of the consonants and vowels; and suprasegmentals, which are features of speech, such as stress, intonation, pitch, timing/rhythm, and loudness. AccentAccurate accent coaching begins by assessing both these areas of your speech and tailors the accent reduction program to meet your needs. Following ASHA guidelines, Accent Accurate incorporates a variety of strategies, including listening and imitating, phonetic training, minimal pair drill, visual aids, practice of vowel production, and altering stress patterns, as needed.
AccentAccurate American accent training is highly individualized to your individual needs. Clients typically start with our 14-week accent training program, which includes an accent evaluation and 12 accent coaching sessions. However, some opt to extend their coaching, while others find that the 14-week program is sufficient for their needs. Although everyone’s rate of progress is different, consistent attendance at training sessions and ongoing practice between sessions are vital to the success of your accent training program.
Client Testimonials
"…Yesterday I gave a ten minute presentation and asked a friend to record it so that I could hear myself talking, and the difference between yesterday and a talk I gave 6 months ago (and also have on video) is amazing! I highly recommend working with AccentAccurate if you feel like communication is an important part of your work or even if you feel the need for clearer communication in your day to day life.
