"You nailed it Keenyn… Your approach is a piece of art. Would rate this a 10 out of 5 (double 5)! ...I’ve been in NYC for the past 2 years looking for something like this. I wish I cross this the day I came here."

"I love your course! If I designed it myself, I wouldn’t do it differently. It’s designed very, very well. It’s the absolute best course I’ve ever taken and believe me, I’ve taken a few courses- in Chicago when I first came to the US- and this is the greatest one… You did such an amazing job, really, nothing could be done better! The course is wonderful!"

I have the coolest job ever.
As a Speech and Language Pathologist specializing in pronunciation and accent training, I get to work with amazing clients from around the world.
When I first started out in my field of specialization, I took an extensive amount of continuing education hours to help me learn what I thought were the essentials in accent modification.
As I began to work with my first clients though, it became apparent that something was missing.
All my training had not prepared me to help my clients with what was really impacting their clarity and naturalness most.
Rhythm and intonation.
So I decided to make it my mission to determine the most essential elements to making real change in your pronunciation and to develop the most straightforward way to teach them.
By focusing your attention on the things that make the most noticeable impact and progressing through a hierarchy of learning stages, you can gain the confidence of knowing you are in control of how you speak.
The Clarity Kickstart is the ONLY program of its kind that helps you to make immediate improvements in your spoken English by focusing on 3 foundational elements of speaking with clarity and impact.
1. Refining your Rhythm and Intonation
2. Mastering the American English Vowels
3. Participating in Daily, Guided, Focused Practice
So if you’re ready to make significant improvements in your American English pronunciation without the uncertainty and overwhelm of not knowing where to start, what to focus on or how to practice then The Clarity Kickstart is exactly what you need.
Here's exactly what you'll learn inside The Clarity Kickstart:
On Monday of this week you will have 3 "Let's Learn" video lessons. Two lessons detailing essential concepts of English rhythm: Pronouncing English Words and Delivering English Sentences, and one lesson introducing our first 5 vowel sound targets, The Letter Name Vowels.
We will practice pronouncing our target sounds with clarity and emphasis in stressed syllables and you will have the opportunity to imitate our target sounds and rhythms in words, phrases and sentences. The practice session is set up just like a 1/1 coaching session as I guide you through listening, imitating and generating with our practice targets.
On Tuesday this week, you will receive a brief video lesson detailing exactly how to practice independently using my signature LISTEN, IMITATE, GENERATE format. Then you will dive right in to guided independent practice with a downloadable audio file. Each day for the next 5 days you will receive a new 10-15 minute practice exercise guiding you through practice with the target sounds and rhythms for this week.
On Day 7, Sunday, of this week, you will receive a brief lesson on developing and practicing with you Personal Word List- helping you to apply the target sounds and rhythms in this course to your daily vocabulary and conversations.
On Monday of this week you will have a new "Let's Learn" video lesson introducing our next 5 vowel sound targets, The Partner Vowels.
We will practice pronouncing our target sounds with clarity and emphasis in stressed syllables and you will have the opportunity to imitate our target sounds and rhythms in words, phrases and sentences.

By Week 4 in this course you have learned all of the vowel sounds of American English and we will shift our focus, taking learning to the next level with Delivering Phrases with Impact.
On Monday this week you will receive 3 "Let's Learn" video lessons introducing you to specific strategies to greatly increase your clarity and impact when delivering longer sentences in English.
For the next five days of this week, you will have the opportunity to directly apply these new strategies in guided 15-20 minute LISTEN, IMITATE, GENERATE practice exercises.
As this week wraps up and the course comes to a close, we will explore ways to continue to apply and practice your new skills beyond The Clarity Kickstart.
Although you can definitely refine your listening skills and become very strong at self-correction, it can be difficult, especially at first, to know if you're "getting it" without some feedback.

There is a 2 week grace period after the weekly content for the course ends for "catch up." If you are totally on your game, you can submit one recording each week from the start of the course through this 2 week grace period, for a total of 5 submissions.
My feedback recordings are very in-depth and vary in length based on the client. In general, your practice recordings will be 2-4 minutes and my feedback response will be 8-12 minutes.
Practice recordings are submitted directly to me, via email. VIP students will receive specific practice recording submission instructions when the course begins.

"The Clarity Kickstart offered me valuable knowledge in American English. The students not only learned how to make clear sentences, they also learned most common linkings and reductions. As for me, I am getting more mindful on what native speakers say and hence learned more from them. In addition, the students had opportunities to submit their own recordings for feedback. The evaluation was tremendously helpful. Ms Keenyn would point out exactly what you need to correct to improve your speech. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve his or her accent."

"When I started the first week, I expected something more complicated and sophisticated than the proposed strategy. I was a little suspicious that this kind of practice would improve my English pronunciation. I am surprised at the result. It works perfectly because it is simple, effective and easy to remember. In addition, we were fortunate to receive personal feedback on our weekly performance. Keenyn is generous with feedback and really takes the time to give useful tips to improve our English pronunciation."

Frequently Asked Questions
What some of my most successful students asked before joining The Clarity Kickstart:
Life happens. Things get busy. Although I highly encourage you to set a timeline for yourself to complete the course in 4-6 weeks, if you get majorly sidetracked fear not. You will have access to The Clarity Kickstart forever and always.
One of the greatest things about an online course is the self-paced learning opportunity. This format also allows you to review lessons and revisit practice exercises anytime you like!
Consonant sounds are definitely important to speaking English with clarity and impact. Remember, though, there is a hierarchy to effective pronunciation/accent training.
Focus first on what will give you the most significant improvement. That is why we start with rhythm with a heavy emphasis on vowels, which are absolutely the foundation of rhythm.
The fact is, different consonants are tricky for different people, based on your native language. Once you refine your rhythm, then you want to move into cleaning up your consonants and I highly recommend focused training with the consonant sounds that are specifically difficult for you.
In addition, another interesting thing often happens with the Listen, Imitate, Generate format of my practice exercises, is that some tricky consonant sounds begin to improve for the speaker through indirect learning and generalization.
Change comes from 2 key factors: knowledge + action. Other pronunciation/accent training courses are heavy on knowledge, but miss on action. The Clarity Kickstart guides you through exactly where to start, what to focus on, and exactly how to practice so that all you have to do is follow the path.
Another key factor is focus. Many accent/pronunciation training courses throw everything at you all at once, leading to confusion and overwhelm, instead of guiding you through a hierarchy so you can focus on the most important fundamentals first.
When you join The Clarity Kickstart, you will have immediate access to a welcome lesson. Weekly video lessons and practice exercises will then publish each Monday for four weeks beginning on Monday June 3, 2019.
My VIP students will be able to submit one practice exercise each week for direct feedback.
There is a 2 week grace period after the weekly content for the course ends for "catch up." If you are totally on your game, you can submit one recording each week from the start of the course through this 2 week grace period, for a total of 5 submissions.
Submissions for this round of The Clarity Kickstart will no longer be accepted after July 7th, 2019.
