About us
Are you a non-native English speaker who wants to improve your English? Need world-class training but don't have all the money in the world to spend? You've come to the right place! Here, I will offer free or almost free classes and practice sessions, where you will get a lesson and time for questions, practice, and discussion. I'll also offer low cost group classes occasionally, for people who are really serious about improving their English speaking skills. Those classes will meet regularly and be limited to 5 people. (Individual programs are also available, if you're curious.)
The classes are provided in a low key, fun, supportive atmosphere, with a caring, enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and experienced speech language therapist and voice and speech trainer.
Try one class and see if you like it! And then tell a friend or two! You can practice together:)
*Also, if you want to receive free tips on improving communication, info. on the next free classes and reduced price program offers, as well as my take on various speech, voice, and communication topics, sign up for my newsletter! My website and newsletter provide much more valuable information than the meetup site can;)

When people come to me for accent work, the conversation is almost always about more than pronunciation.They want to feel comfortable speaking up. To express their ideas without second-guessing themselves. To be heard clearly—and feel more like themselves when speaking English.
Pronunciation is part of that. But so can the way you breathe, the tension you carry, your speaking habits, and what you’re thinking or anticipating before you say a word.
That’s what we’ll explore in this masterclass.
While this isn’t an accent reduction class, it addresses something that often brings people to accent work in the first place: wanting greater confidence and freedom in how they communicate.I’m Judy Weinman, a speech-language pathologist and communication coach. For more than 30 years, I’ve helped people communicate with greater clarity, ease, and expression. I’d love to share this part of my work with you.
What we’ll explore
- The connection between mind, body, breath, and voice—and how each influences the others.
- How tension and habits can make your voice feel smaller, less expressive, or harder to use.
- Ways to bring more resonance, warmth, and conviction into your speech.
- How to begin changing patterns such as rushing, holding your breath, or fading at the ends of sentences.
You won’t just hear about these ideas. You’ll try them. I’ll guide you through practical exercises so you can notice what changes in your voice—and how you feel when you speak.
You can participate as much or as little as you’d like. There’s no need to prepare anything, and no one will be put on the spot.
