HistoryAccent modification and reduction coaching will give you a competitive professional advantage to speak more clearly and confidently in all of your business interactions. Your accent is unique to only you and the result of learning English as a second language. Through a systematic approach, together we can improve your pronunciation and make your distinct voice a personal strength and valuable asset. My personalized approach teaches non-native English speakers how to make small changes in their speech patterns to neutralize distracting accented sounds and improve the overall understanding of their message.SpecialtiesAtlas Speech Coaching accent reduction services are personalized, structured and focused. Using the Compton Pronouncing English as a Second Language Program, I systematically transition non-native speakers of American English from accented speech to highly effective, confident and easily understood communication in 10 hours. Clients work one-on-one with Eric Maki, a Compton certified Accent Modification Specialist, who analyzes each individual's speech to determine specific areas of improvement. Ten sessions are designed to move you from your current state of speech to a dramatically improved level of communication and pronunciation. Sessions are conducted online with video conferencing or via teleconference to accommodate your availability and location anywhere in the world. Clients who complete our work together see a 50-70% improvement in the clarity of their pronunciation. This transformational success is achieved by incorporating proven techniques that modify habitual speech patterns in a short period of time. The Atlas Speech Coaching approach is the most effective, results driven accent modification method available.
