“This is Leo Abel. I'm an actor, director, and acrobat. I live in New York City. I moved here seven years ago to study English. And of course, my grammar, my listening improved a lot. But I was frustrated people couldn't understand me. My pronunciation wasn't there.
And since I met Cris, I thought that, wow, this is exactly what I need. And I need people to understand what I say.
My pronunciation wasn't there. People couldn't understand what I was saying. It's simple like that.
Once you get here, you understand that the English we learn in the books is not the same that the English people speak in the streets. And Cris has make me feel much more confident.
Because of that, I recently could find a better job and make more money. Her confidence inspired me so much that now I'm not afraid anymore of approaching someone in the street or helping someone out. It's just so liberating, the fact that I can express myself in a better way. It's a really “a Click Moment”. Once you click things in your brain, everything just is there for you to use. She's simply amazing. She's great.”

Hi everyone! My name is Josanna Vaz. I'm an actor and I'm Brazilian and I live in New York City.
Pra trabalhar nos Estados Unidos é muito importante ter uma pronúncia clara em inglês.
Então, quando eu comecei a fazer o curso da Cris, eu senti essa mudança clara. Não só como uma atriz profissional, mas também na minha autoestima como imigrante. Porque é muito difícil de se comunicar quando todo mundo fica, “oi? Hã? O que você falou? Pode repetir?” E a forma que a Cris ensina pra gente que é brasileiro é uma forma muito mágica. Porque ela sabe exatamente onde a gente faz os sons na nossa cavidade bucal. E aí ela ensina a gente a fazer os sons em inglês usando os sons que a gente já conhece do português do Brasil. Mudou muito, meu inglês abriu muito. Me trouxe uma autoestima e uma autoconfiança muito maior.
Então hoje em dia eu vou para um teste com muito mais tranquilidade, porque eu sei que eu estou pronunciando de uma forma clara. Isso também aumenta as minhas chances de pegar aquele papel.
Então eu estou fazendo esse vídeo para dar esse depoimento de como mudou e como é bom aprender com ela. E para ter certeza que as pessoas saibam e cada vez mais pessoas possam aprender com o método da Cris, que é transformador.

Hi there, my name is Maria and I've been living in the US for the past 12 years. And for most time I used to think that I was fluent in English. I used to think that some of my mistakes were part of my Brazilian accent until I met Cris and by watching her videos I realized that if I wanted to sound more clearly I needed to align my pronunciation better.
That's when I enrolled to her courses and it was a game changer.
The click happened and I found myself speaking way more clearly and confidently.
And most recently she's been helping me to record some webinars for my job. And again, she's amazing. I have nothing but the best to talk about her. Highly recommend her courses and thank you Cris for your expertise and patience. You're amazing. Thanks.
