British Accent Academy is an operating name of Lingua Consulta Linguistic Services, which was incorporated in 2021. - In 2020, I launched a comprehensive English pronunciation video course for second-language English speakers. I designed the website, wrote, filmed, edited, launched, and marketed the video course myself, and set about successfully building brand recognition and a strong social media presence. - In 2021, I created and launched an online course on using the phonemic script for English pronunciation. The course comes with speech sound animations showing a cross-section of the speech apparatus. I drew the original sketches and project-managed the production of the animations, which were completed by a professional animator. I also launched specialized phonology courses on TH, intonation, and the approximants, also with animated practice videos. - In 2022, I created and launched a comprehensive new e-book on English Pronunciation (with audio), including practical examples of modern native speech patterns for everyday use and the workplace. - In 2023, I wrote and designed a comprehensive new e-book on the Intonation of Modern Received Pronunciation, with audio (released on March 24, 2023). I was also awarded a grant under the Canadian Digital Adoption Program (CDAP-Quebec) for my new digital strategy for British Accent Academy.- I have built an active and engaged online community of over 114k followers on Meta through video content creation.
