Anyone know any vocal coaches/speech therapists?

You see I have this thing. It's kind of ingrained in me. Sometimes it fades, sometimes it super strong. Kind of depends on who I am talking to. Sometimes it makes people laugh. Sometimes they just look confused. Some people think it's a little ugly. Some think it's endearing. Some may even say cute.

Either way, I need to learn to control it. Turn it on, turn it off.

I am talking about my British accent. And I need to find someone who can help me master a "standard" American accent. Kind of like the Midwest accent- only without the nasal aspect.

I need to master it, in order to get hired at an acting agency. Apparently I am a good actor, with a warming, engaging smile. But I say words funny sometimes.

So I need someone to teach me, like legitimately teach me, to speak American.  Hopefully it won't cost me too much to hire an accent coach, or someone like that. If anyone out there knows anyone like this, in Madison or at the UW- please let me know!

Thank you! I'm off to work on that accent now..!
