Frequently Asked Questions

How will your program teach me the desired accent?

SpeechSchool.TV programs use a combination of modelling, elocution techniques, exercises and ongoing immersion to impart a new accent to learners over time. This involves showing you how each sound is pronounced (accent training) and then providing ongoing exercises and training for you to practice that accent while learning the dialect that goes with it. Essentially it systemises the work of 30 years voice coaching, elocution and accent neutralisation into a program that is economical enough to sustain lasting and authentic change. The program has won two international awards and has been very successful with students around the world (please see our testimonials).

How long will it take until I see improvement?

You should notice initial changes in your accent and the way you speak within the first few months of putting into practice the techniques. Within 6 months the accent begins to become more ingrained. Beyond 12 months it should start to naturalise. Continuation of the program will maintain and develop your accent and speaking skills.
