Claudette Roche

The Accent Coach
Helping you communicate to reach your full potential.

Hi, I’m Claudette Roche! Helping others communicate clearly and effectively is my passion.

My Story

Oh, allow me to brag a wee bit and inform you that I won Backstage Magazine’s Los Angeles Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Dialect/Voice Coach two years in a row. In 2010, I was also named as one of The Top 5 Voice Coaches by Hollywood Weekly Magazine.

Born in London, England, I’ve also lived in Montréal, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Dublin, Ireland, five of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Now based in sunny Florida, I truly believe my entire life’s path prepared me to become one of the most high-demand Accent and Dialect coaches.

My foreign-born students remark how my worldly experience helps put them at ease, that I grasp their frustrations, that I “get them”. I do not teach at them, I share.

Why Choose Me?

My Background Makes Me an Accent Expert

I have been immersed in world accents and different languages every day of my life; English (Cockney, London, Manchester, etc), Irish, French, Moroccan, Persian, Indian, Egyptian, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Chinese, Jamaican, Mexican, Dominican, Scottish, Polish, French Canadian, New Yorkese, Lebanese…truly an international upbringing! My entire life’s experience has given me the tools to be able to help others reach their communication goals.
Helping you communicate is my greatest passions.

I’m an Autodidact (self-taught!)

My teaching style caters to your needs, goals, and schedule. I have created an original approach, incorporating my own techniques with fundamentals like IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) and other proven concepts. My approach is very much like that of the real-life character, Lionel Logue, the elocution teacher in the film, The King’s Speech (which if you haven’t seen, I can’t recommend enough!).

My Teaching Style is Organic

I speak with the most desired American accent for professionals, the Standard American accent. It’s considered neutral, with no hint of regional sounds. I designed my accent to be this way. It’s no accident!

I’m also an expert at the neutral British/English accent (RP), which is sometimes desired by individuals outside of the USA and Canada.

Diction is also a part of an accent. I guide you towards clear speech, regardless of your nationality. Foreign and American-born people benefit greatly from proper enunciation, as it raises communication skills creating better life opportunities. And since English is deemed as the lingua franca, (the common language between speakers whose native languages are different), being able to speak with others from all nations is imperative.

And unfortunately, improper diction may sometimes betray intelligence and your authentic self.

My Approach

I instruct students worldwide via teleconferencing

I can work with you, your colleagues and or employees, who need to converse comfortably with American and British clients or associates. My goal is to guide everyone to be the best possible person in every situation; a strong leader, a powerful motivator, or a caring professional. We will work together to get you to where you need to be!
