DO PEOPLE KEEP ASKING YOU TO REPEAT YOURSELF?
If people focus on your accent more than your words—or if you often have to repeat yourself—it may be time to refine your speech. Even small pronunciation shifts can make a huge difference in how natural and confident you sound.
Perhaps you speak quickly, but the rhythm and stress patterns don’t quite match native speakers. Maybe your speech feels choppy, or the connections between words don’t flow smoothly. Or you hesitate on certain sounds because you’re unsure of the correct pronunciation.
Accent training helps you master the flow, stress, and musicality of the Standard American Accent so that speaking feels effortless. When you’re clearly understood, your confidence grows—and so do your opportunities.
Let’s work together. Private coaching is available on Zoom or in person in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.
What Is a Standard American Accent?
The Standard American Accent is often described as clear, neutral, and widely understood. It’s commonly heard in national news broadcasts, major film and television productions, and professional settings across the U.S.
Smooth and fluid, this accent follows natural rhythm and stress patterns that make speech sound effortless and engaging. Mastering it can help non-native speakers improve clarity, confidence, and communication—whether in everyday conversations, professional interactions, or performance settings.
