    Reviews of Amy's Teaching Sessions:
    "Right after the first lesson, my director told me I had already improved. It was easy to work with Amy: she has the rare and beautiful quality of being a shining person, solar and with huge energy to give..." Daniele Favilli Actor
    "I have gone through speech therapy my entire life. I have also been teased about a speech impediment my entire life. No one could convince me to open up and really work on my voice, until I met Amy. She creates a very inviting and encouraging environment. Working on a "downfall" is such a venerable time but with Amy, I was always eager to receive feedback from her. " Bo Roberts Model, Actor
    "Amy is a sheer delight to work with! Her 'amiable' nature and intuitive teaching style make working with dialects both an entertaining and natural experience. I look forward to training with her again and again in the future!" Mara Junot Voice-Over Specialist
    "I was talking to my husband today after practicing from our tapes, and he said that this is the best improvement in accent he had ever heard from me!"

    This was really cool. I especially liked how you would pause and then say 'good' because it was like you were pleased with what your audience was doing even though you had no idea what they were doing because you filmed this ages ago.

    True story about "dressing" American. Years ago I visited a Parisian flea market off the beaten tourist track with a European friend. The vendors were calling out "American girl, American girl!"...out of a throng of people. I asked my friend how they could spot me and she inventoried me head to toe: hair "done", full face of makeup, brightly colored clothes, purse not backpack, on and on she went. So much wisdom in Amy's videos! Best wishes for your career Amy....you're very bright!

    You should do this for the Scottish accent. By far, that's one of the most badass English based accents.

    wow, i'm a new yorker but this is still interesting. i never really thought about how we move and talk and the details. It's useful for me as i now can think about how i can decide to present myself by observing myself with this brilliant tutorial and tips.
    i would really appreciate if you can create a tutorial for "standard english accent" and/or "standard irish accent." That'll be brilliant!
    Thanks for all your wonderful videos, advice, and energy! :)

    Amy, thank you so much for making these lessons free (I've just watched them all just now). Now I can say I LEARNED. I found the worksheets really helpful. By the way, I'm asian (Filipino) and we usually have a hard tongue so we sound funny to americans. I never met anyone teaching american accent as simple, as fun, and as clear! I really enjoyed the warm up, too! I just can't express my gratitude enough. I wonder why they don't teach us this way in school? More powers to you, Amy!

    They live in TV and movie studios mostly. It's sort of the default 'public speaking' dialect. Every region, or even different cultural groups and social classes within the regions will have things that break some of these various rules on these videos.
    However, they can be very helpful for actors or for people who are trying to be more easily understood in America, or are having trouble understanding others.

    Posh is the one thag is used in mass media and in movies. That is how the standard English accent is represented. Sure, there are a whole lot of accents in Englad, but every country has it's "standard" version of its accent. Just like how anybody can spot an American accent irrespective of the state it came from.
