Saltillo, MS Accent Reduction Lessons

Does Your Accent Hold You Back? Improve Your Accent Today!

Heavy accents, slurred speech or talking too fast can cause listeners to become prejudiced. It’s not just your speech; it’s the listeners’ ears.

You can learn techniques to correct your errors and change your speech habits, so people can become more interested in what you are saying instead of how you are saying it.

Do you have an accent and want to sound more American? Through speech training I can help you change your speech patterns and sounds to sound like a more native English speaker.

I am a professional opera singer and have studied diction and languages for 12 years. I have a special musican’s ear for the subtleties of language and a lot of tools to help you reduce your accent and speak English like it’s your first language! As someone who is often performing in other languages myself, I am personally acquainted with the challenges of mastering pronunciation and accents and I am excited about sharing what I’ve learned in my own journey with others!

In my speech classes, I have worked with many people to reduce their accents over the years, and have been extremely successful.

I have developed a proven, groundbreaking, unique, fun and interactive approach to reduce, and in some cases eliminate the foreign accent completely. How you ask? Being a singing teacher for over 15 years, I have always found it fascinating when my foreign students would be able to sing a standard American song with NO accent. Somehow, singing completely eliminated their accent. Since that discovery, I was determined to find out why and how. Based on my research, I have created a very easy to understand method that can dramatically reduce the foreign accent.

Coming from an immigrant family myself, and being fluent in three languages (English, Spanish, Italian), I can relate to the challenges foreigners face when attempting to speak in a neutralized American accent. This can be holding you back from advancing your career.

It's pretty likely I will ask you to read to me or tell me about your day. I enjoy listening to other dialects, you will get some practice reading and speaking English (just what you need to be understood). And I'm certainly glad to help out with of the annoying snafus this task called English presents. My accent is native neutral from conservative Minnesota. I could do accents in Italian, Norsk, or French too if it helps, but my specialty is English without much of an accent. Tell me all about your day.

I have been teaching for over 7 years, here in the US and in Europe (I also speak fluent French but I’m American). I concentrate on accent reduction and pronunciation along with general conversation.
I make every class specific to each student. Every curriculum is created for that particular student to match with their interests.
I also like for students to have fun and enjoy my classes so we will laugh a lot!
