How Our Accent Reduction Training Supports Your Team’s Communication Success
Our onsite corporate accent reduction program follows a proven, structured approach designed to help employees speak clearly, confidently, and professionally in every interaction.
Step 1:
Communication Assessment
We begin with an individual assessment to identify key areas for improvement, focusing on speech melody (intonation) and commonly mispronounced or missing English sounds.
Step 2:
Customized Training Plan
Each program is tailored to your team’s goals. We start by teaching American-style intonation and pronunciation techniques that typically show noticeable improvements within three weeks. From there, we target specific consonant and vowel sounds to help employees speak more naturally in meetings, conversations, and presentations, without repetition or misunderstandings.
Step 3:
Real-World Application
From day one, employees are equipped with practical strategies they can apply immediately on the job. These include using a speech notebook, speech triggers, red-light drills, and tactile techniques to reinforce new speaking habits throughout the workday.
Step 4:
Interactive Small Group Coaching
Each session includes partner activities and breakout sessions, providing real-time feedback and hands-on practice. Participants receive personalized coaching and are continually aware of their progress and areas for development.
Step 5:
Ongoing Progress Tracking
We support learning between sessions through self-evaluations, targeted feedback, and open communication. Employees are encouraged to stay engaged, ask questions, and share recordings for review to ensure continuous progress throughout the program.
What’s Included in Our Onsite Corporate Accent Reduction Program

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Accent Reduction Training Options?
We offer flexible training formats in 4-, 8-, and 12-hour models. These can be scheduled in a way that best fits your company’s needs, whether delivered in a single session or spread out over multiple days. Training is available both onsite and online, and we proudly serve clients worldwide.
What Is the Best Group Size for Training?
For maximum effectiveness, we recommend keeping group sizes to no more than 8 participants, with 4 to 5 being ideal.
Because this is an English pronunciation-focused class, smaller groups allow for more individualized coaching and interactive learning. Larger groups risk becoming lecture-style sessions, which reduces the personal attention essential for pronunciation improvement.
How Will We Know There Was Any Improvement?
We provide pre- and post-training assessments that measure both communication confidence and the perceived impact of the program.
These assessments consistently show strong positive outcomes, with participants reporting noticeable improvements in their professional communication. A summary report of the results can be provided to your organization upon request.
Will You Travel to Our Location, and Can Team Members Join Online?
Yes, we are happy to travel to your location for onsite training, as we believe it creates a more immersive and effective learning environment. Additionally, we welcome hybrid participation, and team members from other offices or remote locations are encouraged to join virtually if needed.
Can the Training Be Filmed?
No, we do not permit recording of the sessions. Our curriculum is built on a proprietary teaching methodology, and we appreciate your understanding in preserving the integrity and confidentiality of our materials.
