Clear Speech Specialists

We offer group training sessions and individual (one-on-one) instruction as well as workshops that focus on specific pronunciation topics. Our courses teach Standard American English (SAE) intonation and pronunciation, also referred to as American Broadcaster English (as you might hear from news anchors on national television newscasts). This "acce... nt" is considered a neutral accent, not strongly influenced by the regional dialects of coastal states or other regions. Our programs are designed to cover a wide range of learner interests from basic, introductory level learning to advanced level courses. We support and encourage clients' success and provide the means necessary to achieve greater speech clarity and reduced speaking frustration. Accent elimination is not our goal! All training is conducted or supervised by a state licensed speech-language pathologist who is nationally certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA).

Because speech clarity impacts so much more than just speech!Read More
