Learning to speak with an American Accent is like learning another language. You must learn to express your thoughts in a new way, using your mouth, tongue, lips, nose, lungs, and vocal cords to create and manipulate sounds for the benefit of your listener. Our focus is on teaching you to learn a new skill – how to speak with an American Accent. Just as American actors learn to speak with French, German, or British accent, you too can learn another accent. Being able to turn on or turn off your American accent can have a powerful impact on both your personal and professional life:

Introduce yourself once and have your name clearly understood the first time

Speak with confidence in meetings, on the phone, and in conference calls

Experience fewer miscommunications with your manager, employees, or coworkers

Discuss your experience and qualifications with potential employers in a clear and confident voice

Eliminate rude-sounding speech so that your customers can see your true, friendly personality

This is an intensive course. To be successful, it is extremely important that you attend all sessions and complete all assignments. If you attend all class sessions and complete all assignments, you can improve your American English Pronunciation.

The class will meet for 8 sessions for a total of 12 class hours. Classes will be Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM.  In addition to in-class sessions, expect to have 15-30 minutes of additional, at-home practice per day.

Course Tuition:

Regular registration: $499

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations prior to the first day of class will be charged a 25% cancellation fee. Cancellations after class has begun will be charged the full tuition. We do not offer exchanges. Ovient reserves the right to cancel the class at anytime due to low enrollment or extenuating circumstances. If we need to cancel the class, you will be offered a full refund.
