Awareness - Control - Analysis
Your style of speaking is often the result of habits you fell into, in all languages that you speak.
The good news is habits can change.
This is what American English speech coaching can do for you:
Can you hear it?
Can you control it?
Can you analyze it?
Increase your awareness of what is making the most impact on the effectiveness of your speech.
Increase your control of your speech to make the changes you want to create the options you need.
Teach you how to analyze your speech for long-term control and adaptability.
Communication is Connection
Communication is relationship building.
Communicating well in a language that you learned after your first language can be particularly challenging. Sometimes it can even feel like there is a distance between you and the listener, especially when there are misunderstandings due to speech.
Accent Modification includes many different aspects of making changes to spoken communication, but ultimately, it's about making changes to reduce the feeling of distance between two people and facilitating connection.
My approach to accent modification includes the cognitive aspects of learning and memory, placing thinking as the first step of speaking in order to make connections.
