About Julie
Hello! I'm Julie Cunningham, and I help people transform into English-speaking pros!
American English communication is what I do. It's what I talk about, read about, and study every day (yes, I find it fun to study English pronunciation!).
This is exactly why you'll want to work with me. Let's chat about creating the perfect training program that gets you the results you are looking for!
I lived in Prague, Czech Republic from 2007-2008 and Switzerland in 2008 and 2009, and while I lived there I worked as an English teacher. I absolutely loved my experiences teaching and living abroad, and I wanted to find a way to do something similar once I returned to the United States.
I'm a licensed speech-language pathologist (licensed in California), and I've been providing accent reduction and public speaking/professional voice coaching since 2007. I'm the owner and president of San Diego Voice and Accent, a company that specializes in accent reduction, English pronunciation, and public speaking/professional voice coaching.
I've completed specialized training in accent reduction and English pronunciation. I'm a certified Compton PESL instructor (Pronouncing English as a Second Language), and a Preferred Trainer by LDS & Associates (a leading accent reduction training company based in Southern California).
I also serve on the executive board of CORSPAN (the Corporate Speech-Pathology Network) as the current president. CORSPAN is an international organization of speech-language pathologists who specialize in communication assessment and training for businesses and professionals.

I've worked with clients from all over the world - France, China, Spain, Mexico, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Japan, Ukraine (and more) - and they have been from all walks of life: from engineers, scientists in the pharmaceutical industry, physicians, politicians, and university students, to stay-at-home parents who wanted to improve their communication with their children's teacher.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Try to make your goals specific, if you can. Rather than saying, "I want to improve my American accent" or "I want to sound clear when I speak", try to think of something more specific, like: "I want to improve my pronunciation of the medical vocabulary that I use when I give presentations" or "I want my voice to sound more confident when I speak on the phone to my colleagues".
Start making a list of the words and phrases that are the most challenging for you to pronounce, and you can use them in your accent course.
If you find that you speak better in one environment versus another - like maybe your voice sounds fine when you speak with your friends, but when you speak to your boss your voice starts to shake - write this down so you can track how your speech and voice change throughout the day.

Julie provided key information on American English pronunciation. Before I attended her 4-week seminar, I thougt my pronumciation was pretty good. After the first class, I realized that there are still many things I can improve on. She provided information and feedback on how I can improve my pronunciatio skills. I liked very much her practices in the class. The information I learned in her classes helped me to hear and understand better what others are saying. And with practive, I can feel others can understand me better as well.
Working with Julie was awesome! She helped customize the syllabus as per the feedback from my initial performance review which helped me focus on my weak areas such as understanding intonation, consonants, and american English pronunciation. The course gave me a jump start on becoming of a better story teller.
Helpful resource to improve English pronunciation, voice and speech. Helps us to speak clearly and confidently. The video exercises are quite clear and easy to follow.
I recently finished a 10 sessions program with Julie and I am completely satisfied with the results. Since the first class, it was clear that she was an expert on the subject and created a safe space to practice and ask. The program is completely structured to your needs and based on an initial feedback on your English level, which is probably affected by your mother tongue. It was quite helpful to know the aspects that I needed to improve, but at the same time to be versatile enough to focus on the points you feel less confident. Julie is very organized, so you are aware beforehand of how the class will be, together with feedback of your assignments. I totally recommend Julie if you are looking for a coach that helps you improve those details of your accent that limit your communication or make you feel less confident. My best piece of advice is take the leap to reach your English goals!
I had the pleasure of working with Julie on my standard American accent. Her knowledge and supportive instruction style made the experience truly enjoyable and worthwhile. Her professional yet easy going manner made me feel comfortable from the outset. Julie was encouraging, enthusiastic and most of all patient. I have renewed confidence in my accent capability and I have her to thank for it.
I recently completed my 16 sessions with Julie at San Diego Voice and Accent (started at end of 2020). Julie is really a nice and professional English language & accent coach, I am glad that I have had her as my English coach, I learned so much during the sessions, which will continue to benefit me. I will recommend Julie if you are looking for a coach to improve your English and accent. Contact her for a conversation to have an opportunity to learn about her program, then proceed if you like.
I am a college student and have taken Julie's classes for over six months. Julie fixed my Chinese accent and improved my speech skills. She is one of the most responsible teachers I ever have.
Julie is VERY ORGANIZED. She would make a plan every time before class and give good feedback after. Julie would always upload helpful practices in Google Drive with an organized format. I also had a practice sheet that tracked my practice time. All of these small details made me study and make progress spontaneously.
Julie is also extremely precise and experienced. I had a Chinese accent and she was able to find my minor flaws and give me efficient ways to fix them. I was always able to see my improvement after each class.
I am very fortunate to learn from Julie. If you want to fix your accent precisely and efficiently, Julie will be your best choice.So thankful for Julie! She is an outstanding instructor; organized, flexible, knowledgeable, dependable, objective, honest, and committed to help her students succeed. Despite being unable to complete the 16 lesson course due to other commitments. I was able to improve my pronunciation during our 9 sessions, and most importantly, increase my awareness of speech patterns that as an ESL student was not familiar with.
Working with Julie has significantly improved my overall confidence in speaking the English language. I particularly appreciate her honest feedback, and all the resources provided during our sessions. I highly recommend working with Julie for anybody wanting to improve their pronunciation and understanding of American speech patterns. So worth it!View more recommendations
