Who Chooses Accent Modification Coaching?
As a young foreign professional I face speaking and accent challenges in my working environment. Christi helped me to increase my speaking skills dramatically and to improve my English pronunciation and intonation a lot. She is especially experienced at analyzing my accent shortcomings and gave me advice on how to improve it. She is detail-oriented, student-oriented, and experienced. I highly recommend Christi to everyone who is looking for perfecting his or her speaking and American accent. |

Who is this kind of instruction for?
Who is this kind of instruction not for?
- Individuals who learned English as a foreign language or who speak a variety of English other than American English.
- Individuals who feel that they are not easily understood or that there is too much focus on their accent rather than their meaning when they speak.
- Anyone who enjoys learning and reaching for a higher level of self-improvement.
Who is this kind of instruction not for?
- Individuals who are just beginning to learn English. People who are still learning English have much more to think about when they are speaking and adding even more to think about (speech) is not helpful.
- Individuals who are motivated to make a change in their lives through dedicated practice. All change requires commitment to trying new things a little at a time. Taking the first step can be the most difficult, but making progress can be the most rewarding.
How Long Does it Take?

Although everyone makes progress at different rates, a basic outline of the steps in the process looks like the following levels of awareness and ability to make changes. Practice and making small changes to your speech every day are necessary to achieve long term results. I can help you reach Level 3 very quickly, then reaching and maintaining Level 4 depends on the time and dedication you have to put into it.
Level 1. Gain awareness of how you sound and ability to produce different speech sounds Level 2. Awareness + Control + Ability to analyze and modify speech Level 3. Able to make changes to speech with concentration, need corrections Level 4. New features are starting to become part of natural speech, make own corrections |
