Foreign Accent Modification

Does your foreign accent cause others to misunderstand you?  Does it affect your ability to do your job, or to get the job that you want?  Do you have to repeat yourself constantly? Is speaking on the phone or in front of an audience a challenge?  Do others focus on how you speak, rather than what you are saying?

  • Practicing specific techniques for modifying your accent
  • Learning strategies for communicating effectively in every situation
