I’m also a dialect coach, which means I listen to people talk for a living and then gently suggest… alternatives.

I pay attention to the tiny things: where a sound sits, how a sentence flows, why something doesn’t land quite right.

Somewhere between fixing vowels and rewriting copy, I realized it’s all the same thing. Making it sound natural. Fixing how something sounds and fixing how something reads until neither feels forced. Easy and effortless, like it was always meant to come out that way.

I’m still overthinking every word and every syllable.

And sometimes… your R’s.
