English voice professional actress Eliza Jane

Today you learn how to find your English voice with professional actress Eliza Jane Schneider.

Eliza is a dialect coach to celebrities and high-powered professionals, and she helps people improve how they sound in English.

As a voice actress, she does a lot of voices for video games, matching voices for famous actresses like in Pirates of the Caribbean.

She notes that something that will help IELTS students in understanding the British accent is to remember that the ‘a’ sound is soft and long for words like ‘father‘ and ‘bath‘, whereas Americans would pronounce the short, hard ‘a’ sound.

Plus, there are many fewer differences between American versus British dialects.

In order to become a virtuoso of dialects, Eliza has traveled the country, and the world, documenting as many people speaking English as she can.

Students, you will definitely acquire a language faster if you are interested in the target culture.

Find your way into English! Find anything that motivates you and interests you in English, and you will learn much more quickly!

A nugget of fantastic wisdom Eliza shared was this: perfectionism leads to procrastination which leads to paralysis. This is notable to remember when you are studying to improve!
