About the ONLINE program:
Initial Evaluation:
- To get started, you will be sent a link to the initial evaluation. There, you will fill out the question section and record yourself on your own computer. You will need internet connection, a quiet space, and a microphone (built-in or external) to complete your recording.
- Once you submit, your instructor will complete an in-depth analysis of your recording. She will then design an individualized program based on which sounds and sound patterns that need to be worked on in order to reduce your accent and/or improve how much of your message is understood. The program will address voice projection, intonation, and standard American English pronunciation.
Expected Outcome:
Clients who attend every session and complete practice as instructed (approximately one hour a day) are expected to reduce their accent by at least 50%.
Materials:
You will need internet connection, a quiet space, and a microphone (built-in or external). You will receive access to an online practice lab to complete weekly assignments.
