What We Can Do For You
At ConfidentVoice we help international professionals to speak American English clearly and

modification" or "accent training". We call it Accent Reduction Coaching.
In order to serve our clients we provide highly customized one-on-one Accent Reduction Coaching via Skype
video. This is the most effective way to improve your American English. Our past and current clients include IT

courses and accent reduction books and CDs.
Benefits of Accent Reduction Coaching
Many international professionals know all too well that speaking American English with a foreign accent
often creates breakdowns in communication. When people fail to understand you, conversations and negotiations
fall apart. Even routine tasks such as answering the phone or giving directions can become painful to
complete.
By learning to recognize and change the sounds and patterns that you unconsciously transfer from your own
language to English, you can learn to speak in a way that will allow American listeners to understand you more
easily. An accent reduction coach can identify the pronunciation features that stop Americans from
understanding what you are saying. An accent coach will help you learn the sounds and patterns of spoken
English that you need in order to sound more American. [Learn more
