This is Not a Video Course
This is hands-on training.
This is not about watching videos and hoping your confidence shows up when you need it.
In the Lab, you practice with real structure. You get feedback. You build repeatable skills that show up in real conversations.
Confidence is not built by thinking about speaking.
It’s built by speaking, week after week, with guidance.
How Confidence is Built
You shape it through practice.
Think of it like clay on a wheel. With the right structure, steady reps, and honest feedback, you do not just “improve.” You build something solid.
By the end of the Lab, your voice is not something you hope will show up.
It’s something you trust.
Next cohort begins March 9.

Why Call It a Lab?
Because that is where real change happens.
A lab is where things get tested.
Where messy becomes clear.
Where your voice becomes something you can rely on.
In this Lab, you do not chase confidence.
You train it, week after week, until it becomes part of how you show up.
This Is For You If…
You’re ready to show up, even before you feel ready.
You know what you want to say, but it does not always come out the way you intend.
You want to sound clear and credible without changing who you are.
You want to stop overthinking how you sound.
You want structure, guidance, and real practice.
You are ready to build a skill that stays with you.
What Participants Say
People do not just "feel better." They speak differently. They show up differently. They take up more space in the moments that matter.
I feel much more empowered now. Before this course, I was very quiet on calls and lacked confidence speaking up. The weekly lessons helped me write my speech, find my voice, and build confidence. I’m no longer afraid to speak up, and it’s shown both at work and in meetings.
I was able to speak for over a minute without stopping, and the other person understood me completely and answered all my questions. I was clear, even though I spoke fast, and that’s thanks to Linda.
The practice and feedback were incredibly helpful. Linda helped me catch pronunciation mistakes I didn’t even realize I was making, and each session gave me new insights. It was challenging, but fun.
I am so happy I have come across Be Understood. The lessons and techniques are so much more than I have learned anywhere. The lesson are so effective, practical and helpful in boosting my confidence, making me a more effective speaker. It also helped me in projecting myself both at work and in any social situation. I was actually surprised by how much I discovered about reaching my fullest potential in my American English speaking skills. Thank you so much, Linda!
Be Understood taught me about American intonation, working on word stress, pitch, rise and fall, and much more. I'm more confident while speaking American English, and I wholeheartedly recommend Linda and Be Understood to anyone looking to improve their English communication skills.
Highly recommend Be Understood to anyone who wants to improve their English/Pronunciation! I especially enjoyed working with Linda because of her unique style to understand students' needs and enable them to achieve their goals. I'm very thankful that Linda's ways of mentoring helped me understand the pronunciation of words and intonation of American English.
I went to Linda before I started working on my podcast. I wanted to perfect my diction and my overall tone of my voice. Not only did she help me with that she also gave me some other tips that really helped my career. Thank you, Linda you are the best. Looking forward to our next session.
I had the privilege of working with Linda, the founder of Be Understood, to refine my English communication skills particularly my pronunciation as a native Chinese speaker. Linda's scientific approach to speech therapy was impressive. She provided exercises and techniques that were tailored to my specific needs. Linda always went the extra mile to ensure that I fully understood the material, and her encouragement kept me motivated throughout the process.
