Success Stories: How Accent Training Transforms Communication Skills and Lives

If you struggle with fluent speech when speaking English, you already know how damaging it can be to your self-confidence and professional life. This is why Speak More Clearly founder Esther Bruhl began working with clients to reduce or eliminate their accents.

As a Speech and Language Pathologist with more than 30 years of experience helping children and adults, Esther is uniquely equipped to guide others on the path to clear speech.

The Speak More Clearly program has instructed over 40,000 students from 32 nations. There are thousands of success stories students have shared over the years. Here are a few.

Kazu’s Story

A Japanese actor, Kazu, left his home and travelled to New York, where he studied acting and stand-up comedy.

“I felt frustrated with my English pronunciation and uncomfortable that I still had an accent in English. I was really afraid of speaking to people because I was embarrassed to make a mistake, and I hated it myself when I did that.”

Naturally, to succeed in his career path, Kazu needed to become comfortable with how he sounded when he spoke English. He also required self-confidence so he could project the right image on the job.

Kazu enrolled in the Speak More Clearly program and quickly succeeded.

“I started to notice that I changed quickly after a week. When I talk to people, they understand more. This program gave me such confidence. I love this course because it explains everything in real detail and gives you everything you need to know about English pronunciation.”

Kazu explains that the Speak More Clearly program is “perfect for me to fix my accent and pronunciation of English.”

Andy’s Story

Andy is a Senior Manager at a Global Media and Advertising Agency that began Speak More Clearly in 2019. Since then, he proudly shares that the course “Helped me land my dream job.”

Andy was frustrated before signing up with Speak More Clearly because his accent made communicating with others challenging. He found it to be especially troubling when he would interview for jobs. Six months after taking the course, Andy was an articulate speaker who communicated expertly.

J. Thiongo’s Story

A self-described “Kenyan, native Bantu speaker of a language called Kikuyu.” Since his childhood, J struggled to make sense of English pronunciation. This was difficult for him because all words in his native language have open syllables. This makes learning difficult because no English words relate to his native language. Even with a degree in English and Literature, J still struggled with his accent until he found Speak More Clearly. J is happy to say that Speak More Clearly has helped him conquer a life-long problem.
