Video lessons taught by a practising speech pathologist — daily guides and expert notes, at your own pace.
You’ve probably tried copying Australian speakers. Maybe you’ve watched pronunciation videos. You might even know which sounds you struggle with. But copying words one at a time only gets you so far — because pronunciation isn’t about individual words. It’s a system.
Stress patterns. Intonation. Rhythm. Connected speech. The way sounds change depending on what’s around them. The reason native speakers seem to swallow half their words. That’s the stuff that makes someone sound clear and natural — and it’s the stuff most pronunciation resources skip entirely.
The Clearer Speech 30 Day Program teaches you all of it. Every video lesson is taught by me — a speech pathologist with 15+ years of experience — and every day builds on the one before. By the end, you won’t just be copying sounds. You’ll understand why Australian English sounds the way it does, and you’ll be able to hear and correct yourself.
That’s the difference between practising pronunciation and actually changing it.
What is Clearer Speech?
Clearer Speech is built on the HCE (Harrington, Cox & Evans) framework — the academic standard used by linguists and speech experts for Australian English. Most pronunciation programs teach General American English. This one teaches the accent that gets you heard, respected, and taken seriously in Australia.
The HCE phonetic framework — the professional standard for Australian English pronunciation
30 daily video lessons — a complete system, taught by a speech pathologist
Daily speaking exercises with a built-in recorder — record and download your recordings, free
Downloadable reference guides and word lists for every day
Coverage of all 19 Australian English vowel sounds, 24 consonants, word stress, sentence rhythm, and connected speech
Real workplace scenarios and professional vocabulary throughout
The complete 30 day curriculum
Thirty days, taught in clinical order — every day builds on the one before. This is the whole map. No filler, no padding, nothing skipped.
It starts before Day 1
On Day 0 you record your baseline — a short passage read in your natural voice. Thirty days later you record it again. That before-and-after is proof you can hear, and Julia’s free Day 0 Baseline Snapshot tells you exactly what she’s hearing before you begin.
Module 1 — Foundations
The HCE phonetic framework, syllable counting, sound recognition, phonogram patterns, and the schwa — the single most important sound in Australian English.
Module 2 — Stress, Rhythm & Clarity
Word stress, sentence stress, connected speech, intonation and strategic pausing. This is the module most students say changed how their colleagues respond to them.
Module 3 — Vowels in Depth
Every Australian English vowel sound: all 13 monophthongs and all 6 diphthongs, drilled with minimal pairs and professional vocabulary.
Module 4 — Consonants in Depth
Every Australian English consonant — plosives, fricatives, affricates, nasals, approximants and initial clusters. Nothing left out.
Module 5 — Mastery
Everything comes together in an integrated speech analysis — and you re-record your Day 0 passage to hear exactly how far you’ve come.

What students say
Wish I had done this years ago
“Eleven years here and I thought my accent was just something to live with. Nobody had ever explained word stress to me. My teenage kids used to correct me at dinner — they have stopped now. That says more than I can.”
Did it before my shift
“On my phone, in the car, before work. Recording myself felt stupid at first. Turned out to be the bit that worked.”
HONESTLY THE VOWELS FINALLY MADE SENSE
“sorry for the caps but i am genuinely excited. did an accent course through work years ago, useless. this one Julia actually tells you what your mouth is doing. i cant always get the vowel right yet but now i can HEAR it. nobody managed that in eight years.”
Sceptical at first
“Nearly did not buy it. Been burnt by online courses before. Glad I did — stopped dreading phone meetings around week three.”
Worth it for the stress rules alone
“Arrived last year, wanted to get on top of this early. Now I work out new words myself instead of guessing.”
Did not expect to enjoy it
“Twenty years in Australia and I still avoided certain words in staff meetings. The daily lessons are short enough that I actually kept going, which is not something I can say about most things I start. My Year 9s tell me my “th” has improved, and believe me they are not a generous audience. Small win but it matters.”
Clinical, not internet tips
“You can tell it comes from real clinical experience. Built in an order that makes sense.”
The connected speech lessons
“How words link together at a normal pace — that was the piece I had been missing. Feel far more relaxed speaking now.”
Grew up speaking South African English
“My English was always fluent — I grew up with it in Johannesburg — but the vowels and rhythm are just different here, and people picked it as “not from around here” in every meeting. I did not want to lose my accent, I wanted to be understood the first time. This helped me shift the sounds that actually get in the way and keep the rest. Nobody asks me to repeat myself anymore.”
The pausing lesson
“Never thought about pausing before. Such a simple thing. Changed how comfortable I am in conversations.”
This is for you if…
- You’ve been in Australia for 6 months to 5 years and still feel your accent holds you back professionally
- Your grammar is strong, but your speech doesn’t reflect how capable you are
- You’ve been told you’re hard to understand
- You want to sound more natural in Australia, not just more correct
- You’re serious about professional communication but need help with pronunciation
This is NOT for you if…
- You’re still building grammar and vocabulary — start there first
- You’re looking for a quick fix — real change takes consistent practice over 30 days
- You want to change your accent completely — this teaches Australian English clarity, not accent elimination
