Have you been wondering why...

 

You’ve been speaking English for years, but you still have a heavy accent?

For many of my clients, the first challenge is simply learning the American English sound system. English has A LOT of vowel and consonant sounds, and several of them may not exist in your first language or may be very different from the sounds you're used to.

And even when you learn the sounds of American English, producing them naturally can still be difficult.

That’s because the sounds of your native language are created using specific tongue, lip, and jaw movements that you have practiced for years.

Different languages use different tongue and lip movements, different muscle coordination, and different ways of shaping sounds.

So when you learn a new English sound, you are not just learning a new sound. You are also learning a new way to move your mouth.

This is why you can understand exactly how an American sound should be produced and still struggle to make it sound natural. Your mouth is used to the way you've been moving it in your first language.

Changing your accent requires both learning the American English sound system and developing the physical control needed to produce those sounds naturally.

Imagine if...

  • You knew exactly how your tongue should move to produce American English sounds.
  • You understood how your tongue, jaw,  and lips work together to create those sounds.
  • You could see the tiny differences in muscle use and tongue movement that make an American sound sound truly American—not influenced by your first language.
  • You had a step-by-step system for training these movements and applying them to the sounds of American English.
  • You had hundreds of guided exercises to repeat until the new movements became easier and more automatic.
  • You could work through the training on your own schedule, without weekly coaching sessions. 

And the good news?

that is exactly what you'll find in my video course.

The American Accent
Muscle Training Course

Learn the American sound system—and learn how to physically produce it.

 

My approach combines two things that are both essential for changing your accent: learning the American English sound system and learning the precise tongue, jaw, and lip movements that make those sounds sound American.

You'll learn all of the major American English vowels and consonants. But for each sound, we go much deeper than simply learning its pronunciation.

I'll teach you the tiny details of how your tongue needs to move and how the muscles of your tongue need to work together to produce the sound.

Because simply putting your tongue in approximately the right place isn't always enough.

For example, you might put your tongue in the right general position for the American /æ/ sound, but if you're using the wrong part of your tongue, shaping it differently, or using the muscles differently, your /æ/ can still sound influenced by your first language.

That's where the detail matters.

You'll learn how to make these sounds using the specific tongue movements and muscle coordination that give American English its characteristic sound—so you're not simply producing an American sound with the habits of your first language. 

WHAT? YES PLEASE!

And you won't just hear what to do. You'll see it.

You'll see exactly how these sounds are produced.

  • Precise demonstrations of tongue positioning, alignment with the teeth, and lip movements.
  • Close-up videos from multiple angles—front, side, and underneath—so you can see exactly how the tongue shapes each sound.
  • Real-time shaping, muscle cues, and corrections that show you not only what to do, but how it should feel in your mouth.

This is the same detailed approach I use with private clients, now organized into a self-guided course you can work through independently.

 

Mary is extremely detail oriented, she knows exactly what is going on with every little muscle in your mouth and how to position exactly to sound more American.

I am amazed at how much she knows and how she is able to convey that simply and efficiently.

~Lucile, Content Creator from France

 

BEFORE: I was imitating the American accent without actually articulating the sounds as a native speaker.


AFTER:
 Thanks to Mary, now I know exactly how to move my tongue for each and every sound.

What you will learn

Placeholder Image

Foundational Mouth Muscle Training

Before you work on individual sounds, you’ll learn how to control your tongue, jaw, and lips for American English.

You’ll learn specific tongue shapes, tongue positions, jaw opening, and muscle control that you’ll use throughout the rest of the course.

This gives you the physical foundation you need to produce American sounds accurately.

Tip-of-the-Tongue Consonants

Learn how to use the tip of your tongue to produce T, D, N, and L in American English.

You’ll learn exactly where the tongue goes, how it moves, and how the sound changes depending on what comes before or after it.

You’ll then practice these sounds in syllables, words, and phrases.

Placeholder Image
Placeholder Image

Middle-of-the-Tongue Consonants

Learn how to use the middle and back of your tongue to produce K, G, and NG.

You’ll learn how different parts of the tongue work together and how to shorten, release, and control these sounds.

Then you’ll practice them in words, phrases, and longer speech.

Cupping Vowels

Learn the American vowels that use a cupped middle of the tongue.

You’ll learn the tongue shape and muscle control for each vowel, how to recognize these sounds, and how to produce them accurately in syllables, words, and phrases.

Placeholder Image
Placeholder Image

Arching Vowels

Learn the American vowels that use an arched middle of the tongue.

You’ll learn how the tongue changes shape for each vowel and how small differences in tongue position affect the sound.

You’ll practice each vowel repeatedly so you can produce it more consistently.

Diphthongs

Learn the American diphthongs and the tongue movements that create them, including long I, long A, long O, OW, and OY.

You’ll learn how the tongue moves from one position to another instead of treating each diphthong as one fixed sound.

Then you’ll practice these movements in syllables, words, and phrases.

Placeholder Image
Placeholder Image

The American Molar R

Learn the unique tongue shape and muscle control behind the American R.

You’ll learn how R works as a consonant and as part of American vowel sounds, including ER, AR, AIR, EAR, and OR.

You’ll then practice R in words and phrases to build more reliable control.

Lip Consonants: M, B, P

Learn how to use your lips for M, B, and P while keeping your other mouth movements relaxed and controlled.

You’ll learn how your lips coordinate with your tongue and jaw and how this coordination changes depending on the surrounding sounds.

Then you’ll practice these consonants in words and phrases.

Placeholder Image
Placeholder Image

Connections

Learn how American English sounds connect when words are spoken together.

You’ll practice R, Y, and W connections and learn how to move from one sound into the next without losing the correct pronunciation.

You’ll apply these connections to words, phrases, acronyms, and other real examples.

Additional Challenging Consonants

Learn the tongue and lip positions for TH, S, Z, SH, ZH, CH, J, Y, V, and W, along with challenging consonant combinations.

You’ll learn the specific details that make these sounds different from similar sounds in other languages.

Then you’ll practice them in words and phrases.

Rhythm & Syllable Stress

Apply your pronunciation skills to longer speech by learning how American English uses syllable stress, stressed and unstressed words, reductions, and vowel holding.

You’ll practice these skills in words, sentences, and dialogues so you can carry your pronunciation work into connected speech.

Student Case Study

“I wish I’d found her sooner.”

Adriana Monsalve is an Emmy-award-winning sports caster from Venezuela with more than 20 years of experience in media. She came to me because she wanted her English communication to reflect the same confidence and personality she naturally has in Spanish.

Through detailed accent training, she became more aware of the pronunciation habits affecting her speech and learned how to make specific changes to improve her clarity and overall communication.

“Mary helped me recognize mistakes I was making in my pronunciation and gave me professional tools and techniques to improve.”

After nearly a year of training, Adriana said:

“What can I say? I wish I’d found her sooner.”

"This is pure science. The price for your course is very fair, I studied pronunciation back in college and the course at my college is $4,000 and they don't teach like you.

Seeing the shape of the tongue and trying to copy that really changed the way I pronounce things."

- Comment left inside the course by a student who purchased it without coaching.

"After years of studying English and still struggling with pronunciation— to the point where I thought I had hearing issues or something wrong with my tongue— I discovered Mary, and working with her and her videos has been the best thing that ever happened to me.

I realized there’s nothing wrong with me— I just didn’t know how to use my tongue muscles or how to make the movements required to speak English clearly.

By following all the information in her videos, I’ve been able to improve my pronunciation, and I constantly go back to review them because they’re so detailed, I don’t want to miss anything."

- Client from Colombia

"While other accent video courses and resources follow a "tips and tricks" approach, Mary's materials take a completely different approach. They focus on building a strong foundation of muscle habits.

It's a more challenging method, but definitely the right one for those looking to *really* achieve a native American accent. The videos are top-notch in production quality, density, and value."

- Client from Spain

"Her videos are very demonstrative of tongue positions.

She makes it very clear where the tongue is supposed to be."

- Client from Albania

Frequently Asked Questions

Hey, I'm Mary El

American Accent Coach for Professionals

I’m an American accent coach who specializes in helping non-native English speakers develop a clearer, more natural American accent.

My approach goes far beyond telling you to “move your tongue here” or “make this sound.” I teach the small details of tongue position, tongue shape, and muscle coordination that affect how an American English sound is actually produced.

I’ve worked with professionals from a wide range of language backgrounds, including Spanish, Russian, Polish, Chinese, French, Italian, Arabic, and German. Over the years, I’ve developed a detailed training system that addresses both the American English sound system and the physical skills needed to produce it.

This course brings that training system together so you can work through it independently, with the same level of detail I use when teaching clients privately.
