"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."

Gain Long-Term Results Using My Muscle Training Approach

 

My approach to teaching you an American accent will help you...

 

Learn the patterns in how Americans move their mouth muscles to create their accent, and apply these patterns across multiple sounds to develop your American accent.

 

Learn which patterns in how you move your mouth muscles in your native language are not used in an American accent. This way you'll be able to immediately notice when and why you're not sounding clear, and reset your muscles to move in the American style again.

 

Achieve more long-term results since it is focused on helping you learn patterns rather than having you focus on each sound individually, which would be overwhelming when you're in a real conversation with someone!

 

Be more easily understood by Americans, feel and sound more confident, improve your public speaking skills, sound more natural and expressive, and feel comfortable speaking English in front of the camera.

"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 always finds a way to guide you through the sounds, even when it feels so difficult and different from what you’re used to.

I also appreciate our relationship so much: she is friendly, and we always have a lot of fun during our sessions!

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. 

And 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!

Client Testimonial

Adriana Monsalve, 

Emmy Award-Winning Sportscaster from Venezuela

"I highly recommend working with Mary if you want to take a significant step forward in your journey of learning English."

I have been studying English and pronunciation for many years and realized that to improve my pronunciation, I needed someone to help me. That’s when I found Mary, and I am very happy I did! She has guided me in identifying the areas I need to focus on and why.

Previously, despite self-study, I was unaware of my specific mistakes and how to address them. Now, with Mary’s guidance, I can recognize and improve those areas.

Another advantage is that Mary is fluent in Spanish, which allows her to explain English sounds more effectively to a native Spanish speaker. 

~ Suyen from Honduras

"I use English everyday at work and I really can tell the difference in my accent when I speak to our clients now."

They say that my English is so clear, understandable and they never know where I am from anymore (I’m from Latin America and I had a very particular accent that anyone could recognize).

~ Noa, AirB&B Customer Service Representative from Venezuela
