Do you wish you could speak English with the same confidence as your native language?
Are you tired of:
- Not sounding as confident in English as you do in your native language?
- Being met with blank stares and constantly asked to repeat yourself in public?
- Missing out on career opportunities or feeling afraid to pursue them due to communication challenges?
- Feeling self-conscious during speeches or work presentations?
- Avoiding speaking in front of the camera?
- Not feeling like a part of your community in the States?
- Still getting asked where you're from despite living in the US for years?
What if I told you that by learning an American accent using my method of retraining the way you move your mouth muscles when you speak English,
you will finally be able to...
BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD IN ANY SITUATION
Other people will be able to effortlessly understand you in all of your everyday speaking situations so you won’t have to worry about blank stares or having to continuously repeat yourself anymore.
SPEAK ENGLISH WITH CONFIDENCE
No more avoiding having to say certain words or feeling self-conscious about your accent. Mastering an American accent will help you speak English more like you speak your native language: you’ll be able to speak effortlessly without second-guessing yourself, and you will feel like a better overall speaker.
GET MORE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
A clear, authentic accent can lead to more interviews, promotions, and career advancements. Other people around you will notice your improved communication skills as a result of your accent work.
IMPROVE YOUR PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS
You will sound more confident and more like yourself in presentations and speeches. You’ll be able to use newly learned parts of the accent to help you connect with your audience more effectively and ensure that your message is easy to understand. No more sounding robotic — you will sound more expressive and more natural.
FEEL COMFORTABLE SPEAKING ENGLISH IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA
If you have avoided speaking English in front of the camera because you’re worried about getting comments about your accent or not being able to speak clearly and confidently enough, my coaching will help you overcome that. You will feel more relaxed speaking English in front of a camera knowing that your speech sounds smoother and more natural.
STOP GETTING ASKED WHERE YOU'RE FROM ALL THE TIME
If you live in the United States, you’ve been here for years, and you’re tired of still getting asked where you’re from, using advanced techniques to Americanize your accent and make it sound more native-like will help you feel more a part of your community.
Before I became an American Accent Coach, I was a language learner wanting to improve my accent in another language.
It wasn't so long ago that I was where you are now, wanting to improve my speaking skills in another language.
- Speak it so well that native speakers would ask me which part of Spain I'm from, not which part of the U.S.
- Have enough confidence to sound like I had been speaking it my whole life.
I set high standards for myself because I wanted to build deeper social connections with Hispanic people, potentially live in a Spanish-speaking country, and work with Spanish speakers in my career.
To thrive in a Spanish-speaking environment, I knew I needed to focus on accent work.
So, I dedicated all my free time to researching the accent, making conscious changes in my speech, and seeking feedback until people started asking if I was from Spain.
Today, I am applying the same dedication to learning an Italian accent, taking classes four times a week and making conscious changes to my speech habits.
Now, I speak both languages with an authentic accent, moving my mouth more like native speakers do. And over the past three and a half years, I've helped a diverse range of clients, including an Emmy-award-winning TV personality, doctors, lawyers, scientists, software engineers, authors, HR professionals, singers, YouTubers, influencers, models, and actors, achieve the same results with their American accent.
Real results from my accent coaching...
"I’ve been working with Mary for 5 months, and my accent has changed significantly!"
Before having classes with her, I was imitating the American accent without actually articulating the sounds as a native speaker. Thanks to Mary, now I know exactly how to move my tongue for each and every sound, and I’m also improving my intonation!
She is meticulous, patient, and passionate. She always finds a way to guide you through the sounds, even when it feels so difficult and different from what you’re used to.
She is 100% the professional you’re looking for if you want to sound like a real American.

"Working with Mary has been an excellent decision."
As a native Spanish speaker, I wanted to develop a more American accent to gain confidence, be better understood, and improve my overall communication skills. Moving to the USA for a career opportunity made this essential. Mary, as an accent coach, has been invaluable. She provides personalized advice, high-quality materials, and comprehensive feedback. Now, I am more conscious of mouth movements, the rhythm, intonation, and sounds of American English. As a Software Engineer, effective communication is crucial, and Mary's guidance has been very helpful. I enjoyed her sessions and highly recommend her coaching services to anyone seeking to refine their English communication and develop an American accent.

How it works
My Method to Putting on An Accent
Every language, and every accent for that matter, has its own general mouth settings that its sounds are born out of.
Some languages are spoken with a wider, concave tongue shape and others are spoken with a narrower, convex tongue shape. Some are spoken with a larger space in the back of the mouth, and some are spoken in a small space in the front of the mouth.
Speaking English with the mouth settings of your native language is like trying to play a guitar using piano techniques. Even though you're making music, the sound won't be right because the movements and techniques required for each instrument are different.
Similarly, if you try to speak English using the mouth movements of your native language, your English will still sound like your mother tongue.
While using slightly different mouth movements can give your accent an exotic 'flavor,' using the exact same settings as your native language will prevent you from consistently pronouncing words correctly and being easily understood by native speakers.
The good news is that you can learn new mouth settings even as an adult!
Do kids have it easier? Yes, because they don't have to consciously learn how to move their mouths by taking my classes.
However, you can sound a lot closer to a native English speaker by taking classes that teach you the specific style of muscle movements Americans use in their everyday speech.
Then you'll learn how we apply these settings to our sounds, making them sound much more natural.
Finally, you'll take what you learn in my classes and make a conscious effort to use those new speech settings in your daily conversations.
Let's be honest -- that is HARD WORK, and your results don't only depend on me.
It's a team effort; you'll have to practice every day in between, record yourself, correct yourself, and intentionally concentrate on your speech in your everyday conversations.
But if you commit to the process, you will love the way you sound in English!
