** Please note: I don’t offer Accent Reduction coaching. This refers to non-actors wanting to reduce your native accent or develop a new one for your everyday voice or at work eg. to sound Australian or British. This is a distinct field of speech work offered by speech pathologists, ESL teachers and voice coaches in that specific area. Search "accent reduction".
