Accent Reduction Lessons in Glen Burnie. Amazing Teachers.

Find your English accent without losing your uniqueness! I help students acquire a clear and expressive American English accent. If typical approaches to English pronunciation don't work for you, I can help. My approach is physical as opposed to learning by hearing and imitating sounds. I have worked with seasoned professionals as well as newly arrived immigrants just beginning to learn English. My students often have a strong command of the language, but are concerned that they aren't being fully heard and understood. You will find a pleasant and supportive studio where I create an individualized plan tailored to your goals and needs. You already have a good voice--you can build on that and enhance your American English in your professional and social life.

Many request are made for accent reduction. If you want to speak more naturally I can help by using blended phoenetics and pronunciation tecniques. You will become more comfortable with your speaking ability. I'll be glad to help you with it.

Hello and welcome!
In accent reduction lessons we will work on correct pronunciation in English. Depending on the student's specific needs, we will focus on vowels, consonants, and proper syllabic accenting (where the stress occurs in a particular word). Learning a new language at times can be quite frustrating, but my methods center around practical, real-world use of the English language to maximize our lessons.

The key to reducing your accent is a sensitive, objective hearing. We hear what we project from our minds. Very often it is not the same as what comes out of our mouths. The listener is also a judge that effects our speaking and thinking as well as our emotional state. That as you may know, effects the way we speak and also the way we perceive what we hear. The accent actually changes every day.

There is your first lesson and its free! There is much more to learn and to explore in accent reduction. I speak multiple languages and I am a professional musician with an unusually refined hearing. I possess perfect pitch, being able to identify frequency to within a range of a tuning instrument. As a conductor, I am able to hear which section and which instrument in that section is sharp or flat on a given note in the middle of playing a symphonic work.

Why is this important? It is vital to being able to identify what and where is needed to be moved as you speak to reduce
