About
➥ The Voice You Were Meant to Have Somewhere between your native language and American English lies a hidden version of your voice—clear, confident, magnetic. Most people never find it. But a few do. I’m Prof. Alex—Doctor of Education, Linguist, and Creator of 2D Sound Motion Technology and the InPronunci American Accent Program (Google). For two decades, I’ve helped professionals, performers, and dreamers uncover that hidden voice—the one that changes not only how people hear you, but how you hear yourself. But this program isn’t for everyone. It’s not for those seeking a quick fix or a copy-paste method. It’s for those who feel the deeper call—to speak with authenticity, confidence, and power in every situation. ➥ The Experience The American Accent Program is a private, one-on-one training system built around three immersive modules: The American Sound System – You’ll decode the secret patterns of American consonants and vowels through phonetic drills and live correction. You’ll learn why some sounds feel “impossible”—and how to master them with scientific precision. Vowels & Voice Flow – Through 2D Sound Motion Technology, you’ll see how each vowel moves. It’s not theory—it’s transformation. Your speech begins to flow, your rhythm aligns with native patterns, and words start feeling effortless. Intonation & Identity – You’ll learn to control the melody of your voice—emphasis, tone, rhythm—until you sound confident, natural, and connected. It’s where pronunciation becomes personality. Every session includes personalized sound evaluation, focused practice, and guided exercises designed to re-train the muscle memory of your speech. Students describe it as “seeing sound,” “hearing themselves for the first time,” and “feeling English, not thinking it.” ➥ Why It Works Because the program doesn’t just teach you how to speak—it reshapes who you become while speaking. Your brain, muscles, and mindset synchronize into a new linguistic rhythm. You stop translating and start expressing. You don’t imitate American speech—you own it. ➥ The Invitation If you’re still reading, perhaps you already sense that there’s something waiting for you—a voice you haven’t met yet. You can begin with a private orientation session—a personalized assessment where I’ll analyze your sound, rhythm, and tone to design a program unique to your needs. It’s $90. But it’s not just an appointment—it’s your first step into mastery. Are you ready to hear the version of you that was meant to be heard? Book your orientation. And step into the mystery of your own sound. Thanks for the privilege of your time, and I look forward to teaching you. Yours, Prof. Alex., Ph.D.

I’m more than happy that I met Prof. Alex! He developed an incredible program that really works to polish your accent and bring your speech closer to native level. Over the past 4 months, my speech has improved significantly—and it’s all thanks to his well-structured program and the excellent feedback he gives throughout each session! Prof. Alex is exceptional when it comes to reducing a heavy accent and helping you develop clear, educated speech patterns. He also uses a lot of advanced technology that accelerates the learning process in a very effective way. Every dollar I spent was absolutely worth it! I highly recommend Prof. Alex as a speech coach, along with his amazing program, to anyone who truly wants to speak English fluently and freely—someone who wants to be able to understand, be understood, integrate, and truly feel like English is their native language. He made it possible for me—and he can do the same for you!

With warm regards, Prof. Alex

With Alex, I was able to transform my thick accent into a beautiful American speech! I had been struggling a lot—my accent really bothered me. I wanted to speak clearly and have natural conversations with my friends and coworkers. But instead, I used to stay quiet and keep to myself all the time. Then I found Alex’s program and decided to give it a try—and wow, it changed everything! My English confidence shot through the roof. My accent became softer, and people even started getting confused about where I was from! Alex is an exceptional coach on Thumbtack. Try his orientation session with a sample class—I highly recommend it! You'll see for yourself what he can do for you. Thank you, Alex, for your mentoring, life coaching, and helping me find my voice. I love this program!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Alex and the incredible journey I had in speech pathology. From the very first session, Alex’s warm and encouraging demeanor made me feel comfortable. I walked in feeling apprehensive about my speech challenges and accent, but I quickly realized I was in the right hands. Alex took the time to assess my needs thoroughly and crafted a personalized plan that addressed my specific goals. What impressed me the most was his holistic approach. He didn’t just focus on the mechanics of speech; he emphasized the emotional aspect too. He understood that speaking confidently is just as important as pronunciation, and he worked hard to build my self-esteem alongside my skills. Throughout our sessions, Alex introduced a variety of engaging exercises that helped improve my articulation and clarity. We practiced through conversation, role-playing, and even reading aloud, which made learning feel natural rather than like a chore. He always provided constructive feedback that was incredibly helpful without being critical, and I appreciated how patient he was when I struggled with certain sounds. One breakthrough for me was during our accent training. Alex taught me not just what to change, but why those changes matter, which helped me understand the nuances of language. I loved how he incorporated cultural elements into our lessons, giving me insights into the rhythm and flow of speech in different contexts. This made my practice much more relatable and enjoyable. After just a few months, I noticed significant improvements in my speech and confidence. I feel more articulate in both professional and casual conversations, and my accent feels more refined. Alex uses innovative techniques and resources that engage and motivate you throughout the learning process. His sessions are interactive and practical, incorporating real-life scenarios that made practicing feel relevant and fun. He also provides ongoing feedback that encourages gradual improvement rather than overwhelming you with corrections. Overall, my experience with Alex has been transformative. His expertise, compassion, and personalized approach truly set him apart from others in the field. He is worthy more than $200 he charges! I’m so grateful for the support and guidance he provided throughout my speech pathology journey. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to improve their speech and accent!
