ABOUT MELisa Botello-Blanco
P-ESL Certified Accent Coach
I’m Lisa Botello-Blanco, a licensed speech-language pathologist with years of experience helping people communicate more clearly and confidently.
Through personalized accent coaching, I help you refine your pronunciation and communication skills while preserving the voice and identity that make you uniquely you.
ABOUT Clearer Speech, Stronger Communication
At Accent Studio, we believe effective communication opens doors to new opportunities, stronger relationships, and greater connection. Our approach combines professional expertise with individualized guidance to help people navigate the demands of communicating across languages and cultures.
- HOW I COACH
- CREDENTIALS
I start by listening closely to how you speak. Then I build a plan around you instead of a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Together we’ll focus on the sounds, stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns that make the biggest difference in how easily people understand you, so you can speak with clarity and confidence.
I’m a licensed speech-language pathologist and P-ESL (Pronouncing English as a Second Language) certified. I use the Compton P-ESL Method, a structured, proven approach that I tailor to your specific goals.
“My goal isn’t to change who you are or erase your accent. It’s to help you speak with greater clarity and confidence, so people can focus on what you have to say.”
