Accent Modification for Professionals

Enhance Your Communication. Elevate Your Career.

At Suter Speech, we offer personalized accent modification programs tailored for professionals aiming to refine their spoken English. Our goal is to help you communicate more clearly and confidently in professional, social, and public settings

What Is Accent Modification?

Accent modification is a specialized speech training program that assists individuals who speak English as an addditional language to improve their English pronunciation. By focusing on specific speech sounds and employing effective speaking strategies, we aim to improve your pronunciation and overall speech clarity.

Who Can Benefit?

If you feel that your accent is limiting your professional, personal, or social interactions, this program is designed for you. Many non-native English-speaking professionals who use English daily encounter misunderstandings or struggle to communicate as clearly and confidently as they’d like. Whether you’re presenting to clients, participating in meetings, making sales calls, or engaging in day-to-day workplace conversations, confident and effective spoken English is a valuable asset to your career growth.

Whatever communication your role requires, individualized accent coaching can help you develop clearer, more professional, and more confident English.

Organizations also benefit when their teams participate in accent modification training. Improved communication leads to increased efficiency, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger customer relationships.

What to Expect?

1. Free Initial Consultation

You’ll receive a short set of prompts to record at home: a brief reading, a few questions, and about two minutes of conversational speaking. I’ll analyze your speech patterns—listening for sounds, stress, and rhythm—and highlight key areas where focused coaching can help. If you’re ready to move forward, I’ll create a customized plan just for you.

2. Design of Customized Training Program

Using your evaluation, I’ll design a program focused on the areas that will most improve your clarity and confidence. This includes speech sounds that may not exist in your native language, along with rhythm, stress, and intonation patterns that affect how you’re understood. Your plan will include practical strategies tailored to your communication goals.

3. Flexible Scheduling and Virtual Sessions

Programs are available in blocks of 10 or 20 sessions, all held virtually (usually over Zoom). Choose short, focused sessions or longer ones with more in-depth practice. I offer flexible scheduling—including lunchtime options—and tailor every lesson and home practice assignment to your specific needs and industry. Together, we’ll work on real-world situations like presentations, phone calls, and meetings.

Program Results

Clients can expect to experience a 50% reduction in communication breakdowns caused by their accents. This means that they can expect 50% less instances of someone on the other end of the phone asking them to clarify, or having to repeat themselves in a meeting to get their point across. This is measured by a pre- and post-program assessment.

Consistent at-home practice between sessions is crucial for achieving these results. Our aim is to empower you to control and modify your accent, not to eliminate it entirely.

Client Testimonials

“Based on my needs and difficulties, Kate created 8 weeks of lessons that were personally tailored for me, with real-world examples. It’s been about a month since I had my final lesson, and I am still carrying and incorporating techniques & learnings in my daily basis. I feel so much more empowered to speak with confidence, and I can really tell that people are understanding my English better, and focusing on our conversation rather than my pronunciation.

Another thing that I loved about Kate’s program is that it’s short and very focused per lesson. It really helps you to digest the learnings with enough materials (recordings, and daily practice assignments) to work on for the week to enrich & embody all the learnings.

I really cannot thank Kate enough for these life changing speech lessons, and I highly highly recommend her quality service.”

“Kate was great through the entire process of our training sessions. From the beginning she developed a plan on how to go forward with what I was in need of to help fix my speech and nailed it.

We made some changes after the first couple of sessions that made a huge difference. She is completely adaptable to her clients.

I made great progress from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Kate to others.”
