ABOUT TRACEY INGRAM-LEE, M.A.
Professional Accent Coaching Rooted in Clinical Expertise
EXPLORE COURSESIâm Tracey Ingram, an ASHA-certified speech professional specializing in American English pronunciation and fluency for adult learners.
I work with professionals who already have strong ideas but want their spoken English to reflect their true ability. Many of my clients are confident writers, highly skilled in their fields, and deeply capableâyet feel frustrated when their accent affects how theyâre understood or perceived.
I understand how personal that experience can be.
My Approach
My work is practical, respectful, and grounded in clinical training. As an ASHA-certified speech professional with specialized certification from the Institute of Language & Phonology, I help adult learners reduce speaking effort, improve clarity, and communicate more naturally in real-life situationsâwithout losing their identity.
I've worked with professionals from many language backgrounds, including Spanish and Mandarin speakers, and I'm the author of 7 Weeks to a Better American Accent for Native Mandarin Speakers. While each language presents unique challenges, the need for clarity and confidence is universal.
Whether you're preparing for meetings, presentations, interviews, or everyday conversations, my goal is the same: to help you speak with clarity and confidence, so your voice supports your success rather than holding it back.

WORK WITH MEHĂ©ctor Ramirez, Concierge (Hospitality)
"I always rolled my Râsâespecially in words like âaroundâ or âgroceryââand it made me self-conscious at work. Guests sometimes couldnât understand me. Coaching helped me soften my R and master the American âthâ too. My friends noticed right away and my American co-workers said I was easier to understand."
Genevieve Dubois, Marketing Professional (Paris)
"As a native French speaker, I always felt like my English sounded a bit âflatâ and almost robotic. After working on the rhythm and flow of American English, I finally learned to stress key syllables and glide over others. My colleagues even noticed the change, saying my English now sounds much more engaging and confident! Itâs incredible how much rhythm impacts communication."
Lin Gong, M.E., Former Language Teacher
"Speaking English is always frustrating for us Mandarin native speakers. Working with Tracey helped to improve my English accent in a short period. I recommend her to others to benefit from their new American English accent."
Sofia Escobar, Legal Advocate
"I had tried other accent programs with little success. In just 13 weeks, I stopped dropping final consonants and corrected my verb tenses. Now clients understand me the first time I speak. The difference in clarity and confidence is real."
