Interesting, i think yours is the first channel I've seen specifically for American English accents.

I *like* how classy and smart you look in the thumbnail image for this video! I don't have much difficulty with smart, but I don't know whether I can do classy. I guess that I could try.

Hi Victoria, Do you offer group class or individual class?

[AnkitKumar-fini]

Is there any other site like yakitome.com ?
Actually it's online site that coverts texts into speech/audio files with proper general american accent.

Hi Victoria:)
T sounds like quick D when:
1. The letter t is either between a vowel sound or vowel/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l sound.
2. The letter t is either between r sound (all r controlled vowel) or vowel/all r controlled vowel/syllabic l sound.
But why pretend, celebrate, appreciate these words don't sound like that?

Hey, I finally made a new video. I decided to leave my bit about coolness on the cutting room floor, though. You are welcome to watch my video; but if you are eager for insightful lessons on coolness, then I apologize, but you will have to wait for another video.

Victoria, I invite you to look at my programming blog videos. I have not yet made a video on looking (and being) cool, but it is in the works (actually, several are). Looking cool is *critical* these days. As a computer nerd, I, too, struggle with coolness. However, I have made some fascinating discoveries, and I will reveal them in future blog videos.

would love to take your class if the fee is affordable.

By the way, do you ever advise your clients to avoid the Southern & Midwest accents? It's sad to think that these accents are associated with low IQ and racism. Steven Colbert is from South Carolina, and he knew that he would have to shed his accent if he was going to be successful in show biz.
