Accent Reduction Training for professionals, actors and others (Midtown) hide this posting unhide

QR Code Link to This Post With over 15 years of experience as an English teacher and an actor, I have been able to teach myself how to speak English with an American accent. I am the first actor in the history of Brazil to play the lead role in an American film, playing an American-born character. This combination of being a teacher for so long and also an actor is what sets me apart from any other speech coach out there.
I not only have the ability to identify one's needs, but I also find creative and innovative solutions for improving one's accent.

This is how my Accent Reduction Program works:

1. Assessment: we'll have a free 1-hour consultation, when I will be able to assess your speech patterns and make you conscious of your own sound. Knowledge is power. Once you become conscious of what sounds you are producing and how you are producing those sounds, then you will be able to make adjustments in order to try a different way to articulate. At the end of our 1-hour session you will be able to notice a different sound coming from you.

2. Practice: the only way your discoveries and breakthroughs in our sessions can be sustained and maintained is through practice on your own. I will provide you with the material and a specific way you should be working at home, with simple steps throughout.

3. Confidence: being a foreigner myself, I understand that our fears really get in the way of communication when we have to speak to others, especially those we see as having a "better" accent than ours or simply native speakers. Shame, insecurity, fear of making mistakes, fear of not being respected because of our accents, fear of seeming to not have a sense of humor, fear of being perceived as less intelligent and the frustrating fact that we can't fully show our personalities because of our accents are some of the aspects of speaking a foreign language that I have experienced myself. For that reason, I have a deep understanding of those feelings and I can help you to build confidence as a tool to not only improve your accent, but also to create relationships that are more equal from the start.

With my help, plus practice and a new-found confidence, I can assure you your ability to speak without an accent will become a reachable goal.
