ESL with an Emphasis on Accent Reduction / Pronunciation

In this class, we'll work systematically through the sounds of American English, teaching you how to (literally) work your mouth so you can speak to be understood, and understand when and why you make mistakes, so that you may continue to improve. We work in fun, safe environments, where mistakes are the wonderful things from which we learn and grow. Practice is practical, and homework is there to help you in the real world. Come to class ready to have fun, listen, speak, and work with the physical aspects of language that are so often ignored. With my highly specialized methodologies, developed over 10 years, you will learn and improve before you even realize it! We'll even measure your progress from the beginning of the program to the end, and you WILL see and feel results!

Review of Michelle Thorson, June 15, 2009
If there is anyone looking for a instructor I would highly recommend Michelle. I was blown away at how I sound. Michelle has brought out my inner voice. My pronounciation of certain words has greatly improved and I am so satisfied with the choice I made. Michelle shows great patience (and with me she needs it), after we finish one lesson I am looking forward to the next. Now thats how it should be............

Michelle is a very good teacher. She is a strong listener with a desire to guide a student into the process. I was a brand new beginner in voice over and now several weeks later have identified my passion and a certain area to focus on.
