Accent Modification/Advanced Business English
“The speaking coach has created a personalized atmosphere in our Advanced Business English training.
“Working with him was not only about pronunciation or the finer points of English grammar and vocabulary, but also really understanding key expressions like ‘red herring’ and ‘Monday-morning quarterback.’
“His style has made these sessions fun and engaging even during busy consulting hours.”

Are YouWorried Your Speech Patterns Are Holding You Back?
Research agrees: Foreign accents have been found to lower candidates’ perceived suitability for jobs requiring substantial client interaction, and speaking a non-mainstream dialect correlates strongly with lower earnings.
We can teach you to pronounce English in ways that more closely match the dialect used by newscasters, actors, and other voice professionals.
We offer Businesses and Private Clients training in:
Pronunciation
Learn to pronounce words using General American English (GAE), the dialect commonly used by professional speakers, actors, and newscasters.
Grammar and Usage
Review rules and standards of Advanced Business English, both spoken and written.
Vocabulary and Idiomatic Speech
Feel comfortable with English terms and expressions used in business daily.
Voice, Accent, and Dialect Coaching are also available to Performers.
To schedule an appointment to discuss your needs, please contact us.

Your business communication consultant — a speech therapist and Certified Instructor in the Compton Pronouncing English as a Second Language (P-ESL) method of accent modification — will get back to you shortly to tell you how your speech sounds when compared with General American English.
Speech coaching is also available to persons who want to learn to “switch off” a regional dialect at times.
