Business Description:

Many English learners feel insecure about their American English pronunciation. At Prime Time Speech, we work with you to improve your accent so you feel like a confident and effective speaker.

At Prime Time Speech, we know that you want to be an effective communicator, but in order to do that, you need to speak clearly following the sound patterns of the North American English accent. You have worked hard to learn the language and to speak like a native. Despite this, people sometimes don’t understand everything you say. This may make you feel embarrassed, frustrated, or insecure about how you sound. The cost of feeling this way may have resulted in missed social opportunities or business connections.

Hi, my name is Lilly, and I am an experienced Accent Coach and certified Speech-Language Pathologist. I have the training and expertise to help you become a more effective and confident communicator. I understand the challenges of communicating with a non-native accent. Since 2007, I’ve helped more than 1,000 people improve their pronunciation of English sounds.

Coaching is short-term and condensed so that you see immediate improvements in your North American English accent. Together, we will develop a customized accent program
to fit your goals and unique needs. Accent coaching is available for individuals and corporations.

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.
