Accent Softening
Non-native speakers often find it extremely frustrating and sometimes embarrassing when they are misunderstood or asked to repeat themselves. A strong accent can interfere with your ability to communicate both personally and professionally. It is an unfortunate fact that many people when learning to speak English were not taught correct English pronunciation and in many cases were not taught by a native English speaker.
Nancy has extensive experience coaching clients on both British and American English; whether you want to completely transform your accent or simply modify some key sounds, she can work with you to achieve the results you want. Nancy has been helping clients from all walks of life to develop a more neutral sound for effective communication. She believes in working in a multi-sensory way in order to enhance the client’s perception and awareness of his or her speech; thus achieving clarity and more freedom and flexibility when speaking English.
Nancy explores all the sounds, stresses and melodies of the neutral English accent (Received Pronunciation) in order to drill and hone accuracy. Clients are encouraged to develop their muscularity and dexterity to become 'vocally fit' with strong articulation. A good public speaker should be like a ‘vocal athlete’, whose voice and accent works with them, not against them.
