There’s nothing like a last minute job offer that includes an accent…when you’re not prolific with accents. Luckily I found Sarah on IG, drawn in by her enthusiasm and rapid fire accents. She did not disappoint. Not only does she have a great technique for getting you into an accent quickly, you can tell she is invested in you doing a good job. Looking forward to working with Sarah again on the next accent.
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!

Thank you ever so much for this course! I found the phonetic writing at first difficult to do but it was very helpful in remembering how to pronounce the words and phrases. I wonder, could you come up with facial and tongue exercises (sounds dodgy) to help with the pronunciations. For example, when I speak Hochdeutsch I can do it only for so long before my face and tongue are worn out and I cannot keep the pronunciation up but start speaking with an accent. Thanks again for the course!
