American Pronunciation & Accent Coaching

Description

Learn how to speak with the North American accent.
Pronunciation is not only about individual sounds, it also involves intonation and Word Groups: Groups of words that flow together.  This is a key aspect to North American pronunciation.  We are a mumbling people. Our language is casual, and it flows. As a non-native, you're used to separating almost every word, using strong consonant sounds. In music theory that's called 'staccato'. But it's very un-American to speak that way. I will teach you how to modify sounds in order to create the American flow in your own speech.

You'll learn all about American speech patterns, intonation, tongue positioning, voice placement, breath, shadowing; stop consonants, vowel reductions, word linking, function/content words, the schwa, which sounds Americans erase--and when, the Flap T, pitch and syllable stress, voiced vs. unvoiced, and more.  

You can continue on with me as your accent coach, or take the self-practice I teach you, and improve on your own. But with the materials and knowledge I provide, the choice will be yours.
