10-Day Standard American Accent

Thank you Sarah. Even though I was already working on my accent when I started the course, it was your encouragement and feedback that gave me the confidence to believe I could actually do this. That is invaluable and a key component to being able to deliver a believable accent.

Fun, informative and very user-friendly format.

Thank you Sarah for this opportunity, I have now successfully completed the 10 day DIY American accent course. You did an excellent job of setting it out in a fun, informative and very user-friendly format while catering to all learning styles.

American DIY course is fantastic

Sarah’s DIY American accent course is fantastic and so user friendly. You can work at your own pace and review as often as needed. Her enunciation of words is so clear, and seeing how the mouth moves to produce the sounds is super helpful. I also loved the inclusion of American phrases to make your accent that little bit better. She is very personable on screen and the video clips are great for illustrating different sounds. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try the other accent courses!

One of the best dialect coaches I’ve had the pleasure of working with

10 day DIY Standard American course and would highly recommend Sarah Valentine

I’ve just completed the 10 day DIY Standard American course and would highly recommend Sarah Valentine as she made it so easy and fun to follow! She knows just how to break it down so you understand the basics properly which makes it easy to remember. It is great to have the worksheets and audio clips to work with over and over again to really practice the accent and get it right.

‘Whoever said ‘progress is a slow process wasn’t talking about Sarah’

I’ve always felt like having my American accent 70% right, after one lesson with Sarah it feels like 80%. Whoever said ‘progress is a slow process wasn’t talking about Sarah’

I can testify to the effort Sarah put into helping me in the course. I was about to give up on the course due to hearing difficulties, but Sarah decided to provide a way to help me overcome my challenges. I am better off now and feel good about what I’ve learned from her class. A good teacher is someone who won’t give up on you.

Sarah was immediately helpful in my approach to numerous accents associated with my role. She is a credible source of knowledge who understands the importance of discussing an accents authenticity, foundation and delivery.

It was a great experience working with Sarah learning a southern American accent. She is very engaged, super professional and fun to work with. I highly recommend her!

Working with Sarah Valentine was everything I could of asked for and more in an accent class. The class breakdown and the Valentine method made it so easy to learn and master my British accent. Sarah’s feedback was so helpful while also being fun. I would definitely recommend Sarah for anyone wanting to learn an accent. I can’t wait to sign up for another course!
