Charles Reid Taylor

Business Description:

Taylor Speech & Language, LLC (TSL) offers Accent Modification Coaching for professionals seeking to develop the American English style of speaking. Currently, TSL provides coaching on a one-to-one basis, focusing attention on the individual communication needs of each unique client..

All coaching sessions are delivered via distance learning (the Internet). This makes the coaching sessions more convenient for the busy professional. Clients need not worry about traveling to the TSL office while worrying about locating suitable parking. Further, clients can, therefore, attend coaching sessions whether they are at work, at home or on vacation.. All the client needs is a computer with a high-speech Internet connection and a headset that includes a microphone. Also, many clients prefer using telepractice for sessions because it affords a greater sense of privacy.

Accent Coaching programs are set to last 15 weeks. Persons who have attended university courses are already used to semesters often lasting this length of time, and it is felt that significant gains can be realized within this period of time. Upon completion of the program, it is anticipated that clients will show remarkable progress from the program’s initial assessment to the post-assessment.

Derra Huxley

Business Description:

By enrolling in Accent Reduction Now lessons, your speech will be thoroughly analyzed through an online evaluation to determine the specific sounds that could be improved upon. You will be taught to recognize the differences in the manner in which you are pronouncing English compared with the Standard American pronunciation. You will be trained to learn how to produce specific targeted sounds at the word level in beginning, middle, and end of words, in sentences, in reading and in conversational speech. The primary focus will be on pronunciation, however, any grammatical issues that are in need of correcting will also be addressed. If desired, clients are encouraged to work on areas such as future speeches and presentations they would like to practice, and scripts for actors that they would like to rehearse. All lessons are private and last for 60 minutes. You will be working with me, Derra Huxley, a licensed speech pathologist specializing in Accent Reduction for over 20 years and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it !

Marcia Hoodwin, M.A.

Business Description:

ACCENTS AWAY promotes effective communication skills, while maintaining your individuality, in today’s culturally diverse work environment. The classes are available in individual or small group settings and are held onsite or online for your convenience. The programs include a comprehensive training manual with corresponding audio files. Individualized pre/post testing is conducted to document progress. The courses are usually thirteen weeks long, but can also be conducted as an intensive weekend course, with telephone follow-up. The focus of the programs are to increase a person’s intelligibility, not to totally eliminate an accent.

Benefits, reported by people who have taken these programs, include clearer and more effective communication skills and an increased ability to be successful. Participants also report an improvement in self-confidence. Increased effective communication skills reduce misunderstandings and increase the job tasks that an employee can perform, therefore, improving productivity.

Marcia Hoodwin, the trainer, holds a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology and has received specialized training in accent modification. She has been a nationally certified Speech-Language Pathologist since 1983. She is also a member of the American-Speech-Language-Hearing-Association.
