No one should be excluded because of their accent. I believe you should be judged based on what you say, not how you sound.
Why Accent Reduction Works for Non-Native Speakers
Think of this not as replacing your natural accent, but as adding a skill to your communication toolbox. You will be able to translate who you are in your native language more effectively into English language.
Your accent isn’t permanent and it can be changed fast. Actors do it all the time when they are getting ready for a new role.
It’s a simple, efficient process that can be completed in 12 sessions or less.
The Science Behind Your Accent
Your accent is simply muscle memory. As you pick up your first language, your brain learns how to move your jaw, lips, and tongue to form sounds. These movements became so automated that you don’t even think about them.
English has its own unique movements, just like any other language. The problem is, your brain is defaulting to what it already knows – your first language’s muscle movements.
This is the same muscle memory that you use to walk, move, swim etc. but it’s located in your face.
The good news is – muscle memory can be retrained at any age with the right approach.

before signing up with me
Where are you located in Raleigh?
While I am not physically located in Raleigh, I proudly serve Raleigh Metropolitan Area through our exclusively online classes. This setup offers flexible scheduling, ideal for time-strapped students working in the city’s fast-paced environment, and provides a comfortable and supportive one-on-one environment.
Who are accent reduction classes for?
My classes are designed for foreign-born students looking to improve their communication skills for business, public speaking, presentations, social situations, and acting. If your accent is causing limitations in these areas, learning General American can help you navigate settings where global and multilingual audiences are common.
How long does it take to change your accent?
This varies from case to case. Each student is unique, with different sounds to work on. While English comprises 44 distinct sounds, most students need to focus on about 8-12 key sounds to achieve a significantly improved accent. Progress depends on your current and desired proficiency levels, the amount of practice you put in outside of lessons, and your natural affinity for this kind of work.
Does it matter where I am from? Do you have experience training people who speak my language?
It doesn’t matter where you’re from; our training is designed to help you regardless of your background. The language or regional dialect you grew up with may determine the specific sounds you are struggling with, but I tailor our lessons to suit your individual needs. I’ve worked with clients from almost all continents and major languages, helping them achieve their goals.
Do you teach accents/dialects aside from General American?
While specific dialects may be necessary for performers or those wanting to blend into a particular environment, most people benefit from a standardized, neutral American accent. That’s why I focus exclusively on General American.
Is it possible to address Southern dialects in accent reduction sessions in Raleigh?
Yes, we can tailor our sessions to help you neutralize any regional dialects or accents, including Southern ones, to ensure you’re clearly understood in both professional and social settings across Raleigh.
