My name is Susan Ryan. I started ConfidentVoice in 2007 because I wanted to help
international professionals speak American English with clarity and confidence.
In my accent reduction coaching program I have helped engineers, scientists, IT professionals, accountants, doctors and professors improve their American English pronunciation and speak English more clearly and efficiently.
Here are some recent comments from some of my clients:
Hi Susan, Thank you sooo much for the outstanding lesson today and for the session and the recordings. Your specific feedback is all very helpful. I sound much friendlier than I did before. D. G. Maryland
Thank you Susan. This course has been a great help. I wish I would have found you six years ago. C.W. Atlanta
I was listening to our session recording today and now I perfectly understand why people can’t understand me… recording the classes, gives me incentive me to study and improve. I remember the rules that you taught me. I lengthen my vowels and speak with a better pace. A.M Florida
I can’t believe I was saying so many things the wrong way. Now I know the rules and I try to apply them. S.P. Wisconsin
Sessions with you are really helping me to see the areas where improvements are needed. The recorded sessions are very helpful in understanding my gaps on American English pronunciation. The way you spell the words for me helps me to see how they are pronounced. S.S. Houston
I’m very happy with my progress in this course! A.S., Brazil
Using the advice you gave me this week I felt more comfortable talking and less exhausted during conversations. By slowing down and consciously stressing some words, I found the people are unbelievably more responsive and willing to understand. P.P. Virginia
Thanks a lot for such a nice mp3 recording, you did an excellent job.It was nice and slow and great emphasis on the stress words. You are incredible, I really admire you dedication and effort. MK, Massachusetts
