Hello! My name is Miriam Quigley, and I’m an Accent Modification Specialist.
Accent modification isn’t about erasing the unique way you speak.
There is beauty and significance in the way you communicate—from the language you understand to the cultures you call home, from the words you choose to the accent you pick up. Accent modification sessions are a tool for increasing the versatility of your spoken communication, giving you the ability to make adjustments in your speech as needed to help you feel understood and to communicate as effectively as possible in any situation.
Accent modification involves knowledge and practice anyone can master.
Through accent modification sessions, you can learn about: using intonation to convey different meanings; how to use pausing and other vocal effects to become a more engaging speaker; how to improve your vocal quality and resonance; how to use humor; speech for specific scenarios (asking someone on a date, going to a job interview, what to say at a funeral or other socially challenging events); how to develop listening skills; and much more.
You can begin now with a free consultation.
Would accent modification sessions suit your needs? You can sign up for a free 15-minute consultation any time to discuss questions, expectations, and goals. Contact me here!
Miriam Quigley, M.S., CCC-SLP
I’m a licensed and experienced bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist with ASHA certification. I’m also a Third Culture Kid (TCK) who grew up in Guatemala, where I spoke English at home and Spanish everywhere else. I have always loved connecting with people from different cultures and hearing their stories. My training with bilingual/multilingual language development has been central to my practice, and ever since the start of my career, I have been drawn to accent modification because I enjoy helping others achieve stronger connection through more effective communication. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and understood!
