How It Works
Every actor approaches their craft differently. Some thrive with the precision of one-on-one coaching, while others enjoy working alongside a scene partner or colleague in a semi-private setting. No matter your learning style, accent training should be tailored to your individual needs.
In our first session, we’ll assess your speech and identify the areas that will help you achieve the greatest impact. Whether you call it “accent training,” “American accent mastery,” or “speech refinement,” the goal is the same: to give you the tools to sound natural, effortless, and fully in character.
Your training plan will be designed specifically for you, based on your goals and the demands of your roles.

HOW ACCENT AND VOICE TRAINING SESSIONS WORK
Mastering an accent isn’t just about listening to others—it’s about training yourself to hear and feel the differences in your own speech. My approach focuses on building that awareness so you can fine-tune your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation with precision. Whether you’re working on accent refinement or overall voice improvement, you’ll develop the skills to adjust your speech naturally and consistently.
My one-on-one coaching is offered via Zoom, making it accessible no matter where you are. Each session is designed around your specific needs, your voice, and your goals—not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
What You’ll Learn
Step by step, you’ll work through the key elements of spoken American English:
- Precise pronunciation of vowels and consonants
- How to connect words smoothly and naturally
- American English rhythm, stress, and intonation
- Oral posture and vocal resonance for a confident, natural sound
- Industry-specific vocabulary and phrasing
This isn’t about memorizing sounds—it’s about internalizing them so they become second nature in conversation, auditions, and performances.
How We Begin
Your training starts with an in-depth assessment in our first session, where I analyze your speech patterns and pinpoint the areas that will make the biggest impact on your clarity and fluency. From there, we’ll build a personalized program tailored to your progress.
Each week, I’ll introduce new material while reinforcing what we’ve already covered, helping you integrate changes into real-world speaking situations. I also provide customized practice materials so you can keep improving between sessions.
Accent mastery is a process—but with the right training, it’s a skill that stays with you for life.
3 STEPS TO MASTERING A CLEARER AMERICAN ACCENT
Step 1: Schedule a 1:1 Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll discuss your background, goals, and the specific challenges you face with pronunciation, rhythm, or overall speech clarity. I’ll walk you through how my training works and help you decide the best path forward.
Step 2: Get Your Personalized Speech Assessment
In our first session, I’ll analyze your speech patterns in detail. Together, we’ll identify key areas for improvement, including:
- Pronunciation of vowels and consonants
- American English stress, rhythm, and intonation
- The physical aspects of speech, articulation, and resonance
You’ll leave with a clear action plan so you know exactly what to focus on.
Step 3: Start Training
Once we’ve mapped out your goals, we’ll begin your personalized training. Each session builds on the last, reinforcing the techniques that will help you speak clearly, naturally, and with confidence in any situation.
HOW PRIVATE TRAINING WORKS
Most students train one or two times per week via Zoom. Your program length depends on your assessment and personal goals.
Each session is designed around your voice, your needs, and your progress. Between lessons, you’ll use customized practice materials to solidify what you’ve learned and integrate new speech habits into everyday conversations.
Many Clients Use Their Sessions To:
Prepare for auditions, presentations, or interviews
Improve fluency for social and professional settings
Train for voice work in media or performance
Reduce filler words (“um,” “kind of”)
Develop confidence in public speaking
You’ll start hearing and feeling the difference in your speech from day one.
