Master General American: live zoom program
June is now full, and July is open for registration. Get in there early to ensure your spot!
If you’ve been wanting to feel more confident performing in a General American accent — whether it’s for auditions, a play, a specific role, to add to your showreel materials, or just to expand your range — I’ve got something exciting for you.
I’m running a 4-week live Zoom program this June to help you develop a clear, authentic General American accent- without the guesswork as to whether you’re doing it right, the phonetic confusion, or endless YouTube rabbit holes. This is for actors at all levels (even if you think you’re terrible at accents) and spaces are limited.
We’ll be using the practical, effective methods I’ve used to coach thousands of actors all over the world for the past 22 years, from those just starting out, to Oscar nominees, and in productions for stage, HBO, Netflix, Showtime, and more— and you’ll get personal guidance and feedback every step of the way.

Prior to start: monologue send-out and “before” recording
Week 1 – Physicality + Consonants. We’ll lay the physical foundation for the General American accent with practical, effective exercises that will serve as your shortcut to snap your mouth into American. Then we’ll cover a few key consonants.
Week 2 – Vowels. We’ll look at the core vowel shapes for General American, with a focus on placement and resonance so they sound authentic.
Week 3 – Rhythm + Word Connection + stress patterns. We’ve explore how Americans flow — from stress patterns to linking words and smoothing transitions.
Week 4 – Intonation + Putting It All Together. Lastly, we’ll dive into the music of the accent and apply everything you’ve learned to your own monologue.
After completion: “after” recording and individual feedback and pdf send outs.
Each zoom session will be 1.5 hours long, practical, full of interaction and with time to ask questions.
