Build Professional Speech, Accent, Voice & Communication Coaching Services
Get the specialized training and practical system to do the work.
People are looking for help communicating more clearly, confidently, and effectively, from improving speech and accent clarity to strengthening voice, presentations, and professional communication.
GlobalVoice prepares you to meet that demand with a clear, evidence-informed system for delivering structured, professional coaching services. You don't need to be an accent expert to get started. You'll learn how to assess clients, identify priorities, create individualized coaching programs, teach effectively, and guide students from their first consultation through a complete program.
And you'll learn how to turn that training into a service: how to find students, structure and price your offers, and build a professional practice that can create meaningful additional income or grow into a larger part of your career.
Designed for people who are new to speech and accent coaching, as well as professionals expanding their work into speech clarity, voice, and professional communication.
The Accent Channel is an ASHA Approved Continuing Education Provider. Â
Participants may earn up up to 1.5 ASHA CEUs in the GlobalVoice™ program..
ENROLL NOWGetting Started Doesn't Have to Feel Overwhelming
You may be excited about offering speech, accent, voice, or communication coaching, but still wonder: What do I need to know before I can work with a student? Where do I even begin?
Learn Today. Apply Tomorrow.

Rather than spending months learning theory before you're ready to use it, you'll learn through a combination of evidence-informed instruction, practical frameworks, demonstrations, and hands-on application.
Every module is designed to help you learn the concepts, put them into practice, and begin applying what you learn with students as soon as you're ready.

Two Ways to Complete GlobalVoice™
Self-Paced and Mentorship Certification Tracks
GlobalVoice™ offers two ways to complete the program, depending on how much guidance, feedback, and live support you'd like as you build and begin offering your services.
Both tracks include the complete GlobalVoice™ training system, including:
-
The Accent Channel Method™
-
GlobalVoice™ Professional Communication training
-
Business Bootcamp™
-
Lifetime Instructor Resource Library
-
Two professional certifications
-
Lifetime access to future training updates
The difference isn't what you'll learn. It's how you'll implement it.
Self-Paced Track
The Self-Paced Track is designed for instructors who want the complete GlobalVoice training and feel comfortable putting what they learn into practice independently.
Learn on your own schedule, move through the training at your own pace, and begin applying what you learn as you're ready.
You'll learn how to develop and offer specialized speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching services, from individual coaching programs to workshops and corporate training.
With relatively low overhead and the ability to set your own services, schedule, and rates, this work can offer a flexible way to increase your professional income alongside an existing career or practice, or grow into a larger part of your professional work.
You'll receive the same complete professional training, certifications, resources, and future updates included with Mentorship.
Self-Paced enrollment is available year-round.
Mentorship Track
The complete GlobalVoice training, with 12 months of expertguidance beside you while you put it into practice.
Mentorship is designed for instructors who want someone who has spent decades doing this work alongside them as they build their own services.
You'll learn from the person who created the GlobalVoice system and built a long-running private practice providing speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching to individual and corporate clients.
And you'll have that experience available to you as you begin doing the work yourself.
Bring the real-world questions and decisions that aren't always possible to anticipate in a training program: an unusual student, your first consultation, how to structure or price an offer, a new service idea, a corporate opportunity, a difficult session, a marketing decision, or simply, What should I do next?
You don't have to figure out every gray area on your own.
You'll also become part of a community of GlobalVoice instructors who are learning, building their services, and beginning to work with students. As instructors gain experience, the community becomes a place to bring real situations, share ideas, learn from one another, and continue developing your professional judgment.
You're not just completing the training. You're becoming part of a professional community where the work continues as you begin putting it into practice.
Your 12-month Mentorship experience includes:
-
Twice-monthly live mentoring sessions
-
Implementation workshops and live Q&A
-
Hot seats, discussions, and mock sessions
-
Direct access to the creator of GlobalVoice between sessions
-
Personalized feedback and guidance on your coaching, services, marketing, and implementation
-
Accountability and ongoing support
-
Current strategies and professional development based on what instructors are encountering right now
-
Student Practice Portal access to support your students between sessions
-
Accent Channel Instructor Network eligibility for professional visibility and potential referral opportunities
-
Community and connection with other GlobalVoice Mentorship instructors
Mentorship is a 12-month experience and opens during limited enrollment periods throughout the year.
After your Mentorship year, you'll keep your GlobalVoice training, certifications, lifetime Instructor Resource Library access, and future training updates.
If you'd like to continue the live professional development, community, Student Practice Portal access, and Instructor Network opportunities you experienced during Mentorship, you'll have the option to continue through the Speech Coach Collective, our ongoing professional membership exclusively for instructors who have gone through GlobalVoice Mentorship.

Know What to Teach, Even If You Don't Speak Your Student's Native Language
One of the biggest concerns new instructors have is:
“How can I teach someone if I don't speak their language?”
You don't need to speak your student's native language to know what to listen for or where to begin.
GlobalVoice includes a growing library of Language-Specific Assessment & Teaching Frameworks designed to help you assess speech, identify high-impact targets, and create structured programs for students from a wide variety of language backgrounds.
Rather than guessing what to teach next, you'll have a clear framework to help you:
- Know what to listen for in real speech
- Identify the speech patterns that matter most
- Prioritize high-impact teaching targets
- Build a logical teaching progression
- Turn assessments into structured coaching programs
The program currently includes approximately 15 language-specific frameworks, with additional frameworks added as the program continues to grow.
Whether you're working with a Spanish-speaking executive, a Mandarin-speaking engineer, a Russian-speaking actor, or another multilingual professional, you'll have a practical system to guide your assessment, planning, and teaching decisions.
You'll know what to listen for, what to prioritize, and what to teach next.
Lifetime Access to the Instructor Resource Library
Your Complete Teaching System
Every GlobalVoice™ instructor receives lifetime access to the Instructor Resource Library, a growing collection of ready-to-use teaching materials designed to save you time and simplify session planning.
The library is a core part of the GlobalVoice™ system, guiding you through what to teach, how to teach it, and what to teach next so you can build connected, well-structured coaching programs without creating your own materials from scratch.
Throughout the library, you'll find recommended follow-up lessons and related resources, making it easy to reinforce skills, plan upcoming sessions, and adapt your teaching to each student's goals.
The library includes:
-
400+ downloadable PDFs and audio lessons
-
Activities, scripts, and student homework materials
-
Session planning guides and teaching frameworks
-
Assessment and program planning resources
-
Video tutorials with implementation guidance
-
Teaching notes and instructional insights
-
Structured program progression outlines
-
Slide decks and scripts
-
Comprehensive training for every sound of English, plus rhythm, stress, intonation, connection, and more
-
Voice improvement resources
-
Professional speaking and communication skills modules
-
Workplace and corporate communication topics
-
Common student challenges with practical solutions
-
Hours of guided video exercises
From your first session onward, you'll have ready-to-use lessons, activities, and teaching resources to keep your sessions organized, engaging, and focused on real progress.
Resources can be used during live sessions, assigned for independent practice, shared digitally, or printed for in-person coaching. Downloadable materials are yours to save, print, and share with your students.
You'll have practical resources ready to use in both online and in-person sessions, saving preparation time while helping you deliver consistent, professional instruction.
New materials are added as the program evolves, and your lifetime access remains active.
Student Practice Portal
Extend Your Coaching Beyond the Live Session
The Student Practice Portal is the client-facing companion to the Instructor Resource Library, giving students a structured way to continue practicing between instructor touchpoints.
Assign targeted practice based on what you're teaching, reinforce skills between sessions, and give students a polished, professional practice experience without creating or delivering every assignment yourself.
The Portal can also help you build more flexible coaching models, including hybrid and asynchronous services that don't rely entirely on live coaching hours.
GlobalVoice Self-Paced
After certification, Student Practice Portal access is available on a per-student basis, giving you the flexibility to add Portal access when it makes sense for a particular student, package, or service.
GlobalVoice Mentorship
During your 12-month Mentorship experience, Student Practice Portal access is included for up to 25 new students per month at no additional charge.
You can request 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months of access for each student, giving you the flexibility to incorporate the Portal into different coaching packages and services.
After Mentorship
If you choose to continue through the Speech Coach Collective, Student Practice Portal access remains included as part of your membership.
Active SCC members can continue requesting Portal access for up to 25 new students per month, with 1-, 3-, or 6-month access options for each student.
Continuing into the SCC after your 12-month Mentorship experience is completely optional.
Learn from a Professional Who's Done the Work
GlobalVoice™ was developed by Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP, founder of The Accent Channel and an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 26 years of specialized experience in accent modification, speech improvement, voice, and professional communication.
Jessica began her career in New York City, training and working alongside leading speech, voice, accent, and dialect professionals. She went on to work with actors, executives, educators, international professionals, and other high-level communicators before building her own private practice and, eventually, GlobalVoice.
The systems inside GlobalVoice come from the work itself.
Every framework, teaching system, student-facing resource, and business strategy has been developed, tested, and refined through decades of working with real clients, building professional services, and teaching other instructors how to do the same.
Today, more than 350 instructors in over 15 countries have used the GlobalVoice system to develop and grow specialized speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching services of their own.
Why Professionals Seek Accent & Communication Coaching
As careers grow, communication demands often grow too.
Many professionals may seek support to communicate more clearly, speak with greater confidence, prepare for new opportunities, or strengthen their overall communication skills.
For some, that means accent modification. For others, it may include voice improvement, presentation skills, executive communication, or preparing for new professional opportunities.
They may be looking to:
- Improve speech clarity and pronunciation
- Speak more confidently in meetings and presentations
- Strengthen executive presence
- Prepare for interviews or leadership roles
- Communicate more effectively with colleagues, clients, or audiences
GlobalVoice prepares you to help students across this full range of communication goals, giving you the skills to expand your services as your own experience grows.
Build Professional Services, Not Tutoring Sessions
One of the biggest mindset shifts in GlobalVoice is learning to see speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching as a specialized professional service, not tutoring.
Structured programs, clear outcomes, specialized expertise, and a strong client experience allow these services to be positioned and priced very differently from traditional tutoring or isolated sessions.
Throughout GlobalVoice, you'll learn how to:
- Design structured coaching programs
- Conduct professional consultations and assessments
- Communicate the value of your services
- Structure and price your offers
- Guide students from their first consultation through a complete coaching program
- Build long-term professional relationships
The goal isn't simply to charge more. It's to build a service that delivers meaningful value and to price and position it accordingly.
What Professional Services Can Look Like
Pricing varies based on experience, specialty, location, service structure, and the clients you serve.
Many instructors begin in the $100–$150 per session range when offering structured coaching programs with clearly defined goals. More experienced professionals, particularly those working with executives, corporate clients, and highly specialized audiences, may charge $250–$300+ per session or package their services into higher-priced multi-session programs.
GlobalVoice also teaches you to think beyond individual hourly sessions. Structured learning materials, independent practice, personalized feedback, and the Student Practice Portal can all be incorporated into hybrid and asynchronous coaching models that don't depend entirely on live coaching hours.
For SLPs, teachers, and other professionals who are accustomed to being paid directly for each hour they work, this can open up a very different way of structuring a professional service.
Pricing examples are provided for illustration only. Individual pricing and results vary based on experience, implementation, market conditions, services offered, and other circumstances.

Is GlobalVoice™ Right for You?
GlobalVoice™ is designed for people who want to develop real expertise in speech, accent, voice, and communication coaching and learn how to turn that expertise into structured, professional services.
You may already have experience in a related field, or this may be an entirely new professional direction. GlobalVoice gives you a clear, practical system for learning the work and putting it into practice.
This program is a great fit if you are...
✔️ A Speech-Language Pathologist looking to expand into accent modification and communication coaching for international professionals, executives, and other communication-focused clients.
✔️ An ESL or language instructor ready to move beyond general language teaching and specialize in pronunciation, speech clarity, and professional communication.
✔️ A voice coach, acting coach, or performance professional who wants to expand into speech, accent, and communication coaching.
✔️ A corporate trainer, educator, or communication professional who wants to add structured speech and communication coaching to the services you offer.
✔️ Someone interested in entering this field who wants comprehensive training and a clear system for learning how to do the work professionally.
You don't need to come into GlobalVoice as an accent expert. That's what the training is for.
You'll learn how to assess speech, identify priorities, teach effectively, structure coaching programs, and develop professional services you are prepared to offer after completing the program.
This Program May Not Be the Right Fit If...
✖️ You're looking primarily for an academic or research-based program rather than practical training designed to prepare you to work with students.
✖️ You're looking for a clinically focused program centered on documentation and data collection rather than a professional coaching model for assessment, teaching, service development, and student enrollment.
✖️ You believe there is only one “correct” way to speak English. GlobalVoice recognizes that communication goals are personal and should be guided by each student's needs, preferences, identity, and professional goals.
Ethical, Confidence-Centered Coaching
Helping someone communicate more clearly should never mean changing who they are.
Throughout GlobalVoice, you'll learn an ethical, confidence-centered approach that helps clients strengthen their communication while respecting their identity, experiences, and individual goals.
You'll learn how to:
- Support growth without overcorrecting
- Build confidence alongside communication skills
- Help clients communicate more effectively while still sounding like themselves
- Create a positive, encouraging coaching experience
Communication coaching isn't about eliminating an accent or teaching everyone to sound the same.
It's about giving people the skills and choices to communicate more effectively, participate more fully, and express themselves with greater ease and confidence.
That philosophy is woven into every assessment, lesson, feedback conversation, and coaching decision throughout GlobalVoice.

Meet Your Instructor: Jessica Kijowski, MS, CCC-SLP
I'm an ASHA-certified Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 26 years of experience specializing in accent modification, speech improvement, voice, and professional communication coaching.
I've spent most of my career working with adults, including actors, executives, lawyers, educators, diplomats, media professionals, international professionals, and other high-level professional voice users from around the world. After years of working and training alongside leading speech, voice, accent, and dialect professionals in New York City, I launched my own private practice in 2014.
I created the GlobalVoice™ certification program in 2019 to give other professionals the practical training, systems, and resources I wish I'd had when I began doing this work.
My goal is for you to finish GlobalVoice knowing how to do the work, with the tools and training to build professional coaching services of your own.
If you have questions about the program, I'd be happy to help. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].
