American Accent Modification for Executives & Professionals
 
This video offers suggestions for non-native speaking professionals and executives seeking to improve their communication.
 
 
Overcoming Sluggish Articulation 
 
Many non-native speakers struggle with clear and precise articulation due to "sluggish" articulation - the mouth muscles may not be performing as well as they could. This video offers suggestions for giving these muscles a work out and also strengthening voicing on air flow sounds to improve speech quality (characteristic of many southern Chinese male speakers in particular).
 
Many non-native speakers use carry-over speech patterns when speaking American English. These patterns can create more accented speech, and for adults looking for shortcuts to speak more clearly without so much effort? Changing these patterns can create noticeable improvements in speech in a shorter period of time with less frustration.

Speaking too fast
 
Many non-native speakers are accused of speaking too fast. This is a valid criticism from the perspective of the listener, but the solution is often not to simply try to slow down, which can result in awkward sounding speech at a pace that is difficult to maintain. 
 
Instead, this You Tube video shares insights into how to achieve the same qualities using tips and techniques gleaned from the practice of American Accent Acquisition.

We offer 1-1 live systematic correction sessions via WebEx and Skype. If you choose WebEx, we record the sessions with video so you can practice. If you would like to take a trial session and meet with a Coach, let us know! More details:
