It’s proven—the way you talk affects what others think of you. Whether you are from the American South, another country, or you have a deep cultural dialect (African-American, for example), your accent could be hurting your business credibility and earning power.
Dialect reduction and accent reduction training is one of Deborah Boswell’s areas of expertise, and she’s eager to help you. Dialect reduction doesn’t remove your accent completely, but it will smooth out your accent to make your new way of speaking uniquely yours!
She has extensive experience working with clients with various dialects from India and also helps those with Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Middle Eastern and other dialects and accents. Deborah uses one of the leading curricula for dialect reduction and accent reduction training, Compton’s Pronouncing English as a Second Language. Seven-week and 13-week training programs are available, depending on the need. Session times are determined around your schedule.
In special cases, Deborah Boswell can work on time-sensitive projects and for “single sound” speech difficulties (examples: pronouncing “involved” as “inwold” or “very” like “wery”).
Accent reduction training improves English pronunciation (especially “American English”) and this could result in greater confidence and respect in business or social situations and/or career advancement.
Because of her experience taming (but not eliminating) her own “wild Southern accent,” she is passionate about providing this service either as coaching/consulting or as a corporate seminar.
How do you smooth out YOUR “wild southern accent” to make you more successful in business–without losing your identity? Deborah Boswell spent some time with reporter Janet Hall in this video clip from Fox 6 in Birmingham, AL. (4:35)
