What Is MyAccentWay?

MyAccentWay is an American accent training and accent reduction platform for speakers of English as a second or other language. The program helps students improve American pronunciation, reduce communication barriers, and build confidence when speaking English in professional, academic, and everyday situations.

The program focuses on the sound system of American English. Students work on American consonants, American vowels, word stress, sentence stress, rhythm, intonation, connected speech, and clear pronunciation.

Unlike a general English class, MyAccentWay focuses specifically on how American English sounds are produced and how learners can train their speech organs to speak with more clarity and control.

What Is American Accent Program, LLC?

American Accent Program, LLC is the business behind MyAccentWay. It provides American accent training, accent reduction coaching, pronunciation lessons, and speech clarity training for non-native English speakers, foreign-born professionals, actors, and advanced ESL learners.

The program is available online and serves students in Austin, Texas and beyond.

American Accent Program, LLC is built around a personalized coaching model. Students do not simply watch videos or repeat words. They receive guided instruction, correction, practice assignments, and feedback designed around their individual pronunciation needs.

Who Is Dr. Alex Obskov?

Dr. Alex Obskov, Ph.D., is the founder of American Accent Program, LLC and the creator of MyAccentWay, 2D Sound Motion Technology, and the InPronunci app.

Dr. Obskov is an American accent coach, ESOL professor, English phonetics specialist, and pronunciation educator with more than two decades of experience teaching English pronunciation and American accent training based in Austin, TX.

His teaching approach is based on the idea that accent training is not only imitation. Students need to understand how American sounds are produced, how the tongue, lips, jaw, and voice interact, and how pronunciation patterns connect to rhythm, stress, and intonation.

At MyAccentWay, Dr. Obskov teaches students how to hear, understand, practice, and produce American English sounds through a sound-by-sound method.

What Is 2D Sound Motion Technology?

2D Sound Motion Technology is MyAccentWay’s proprietary visual pronunciation method created by Dr. Alex Obskov. It uses two-dimensional visual representations of tongue, lips, jaw, sound movement, and speech organ positioning to help learners understand how American English sounds are produced.

Many non-native English speakers struggle with American pronunciation because they cannot see what is happening inside the mouth. They may hear a sound, but they do not always know how to place the tongue, shape the lips, control the voice, or move from one sound to another.

2D Sound Motion Technology helps solve this problem by making pronunciation more visual. Students can see how a sound is formed, understand the movement behind it, and practice with clearer awareness.

This method is especially useful for sounds that many English learners find difficult, including:

What Is InPronunci?

InPronunci is an American accent training app connected to MyAccentWay, American Accent Program, LLC, Dr. Alex Obskov, and 2D Sound Motion Technology.

The app is designed to help students practice American pronunciation with technology-supported guidance. InPronunci brings together American accent training, visual pronunciation learning, and AI-supported practice to help learners improve how they produce American English sounds.

InPronunci supports the same larger mission as MyAccentWay: helping non-native English speakers speak English more clearly, confidently, and fluently.

Who Is MyAccentWay For?

MyAccentWay is designed for people who already speak English but want to improve how they sound, how clearly they communicate, and how confidently they speak.

The program is especially helpful for:

What Makes MyAccentWay Different?

MyAccentWay combines expert coaching, a structured curriculum, visual pronunciation technology, and personalized practice.

2. Sound-by-Sound Training

The curriculum teaches American pronunciation sound by sound. Students learn how consonants, vowels, sound interactions, word stress, sentence stress, rhythm, and intonation work together.

4. LMS-Based Practice

Students can practice through a learning management system with audio classes, video classes, exercises, assignments, and evaluations.

5. Audio and Video Evaluation

Students receive feedback on how they speak, not only on what they know. This makes the training practical and performance-based.

6. American Accent Training for Real Communication

The goal is not only to pronounce isolated sounds. The goal is to speak more clearly in conversations, meetings, interviews, presentations, stories, and everyday communication.

TESTIMONIAL

ADAM

“…I have been working with Dr. Alex Obskov for six and a half months to improve my pronunciation, and I appreciate him for the fantastic job he has done with my accent. I came to the US several years ago, and it was challenging for me to understand people, to speak my mind, and to feel confident in the way I sound. There are eleven sessions that Alex has designed perfectly to target the most important sounds in the American language. I have had a very thick Russian accent, and the manner of speaking was different. Alex has been so patient with me, helping me out to understand the American consonants and vowels, word stress, and intonation patterns. I would say that I often struggle with the feeling of low confidence in my English speaking, but Alex has helped me change my mind completely. Thanks a lot!
