Before you take your IELTS speaking exam don’t you think it would be a a good idea to know what the examiners are looking for? What’s the difference between a band 5 and a band 6 ? What do you have to do to get a band 7 ? Why do some people get band 8? What’s the difference between a 7 and 8, or the difference between 8 and 9?

🎙️ Introducing “The Voice You Forgot You Had”
By Anatoly Glazkov – Identity Architect for High-Stakes Professionals

Most learners think their struggle is with English.
In reality, it’s with identity.

After years of study, many high-achieving women still feel a quiet dissatisfaction every time they speak — as if their English is fine, but they aren’t.
Their voice sounds smaller than who they really are.

This podcast is about that hidden moment — when confidence collapses not because of grammar, but because of who’s behind the words.

I’m Anatoly, an identity architect for high-stakes professionals.
Over 20,000 sessions taught me one truth:
you don’t need more English; you need to recalibrate the person who uses it.

Each short episode is a cinematic exploration of what happens when you step out of the English performance box and start speaking as your real self.
It’s not language training — it’s psychological tuning.

You’ll hear reflections, guided moments, and stories from people who learned to stop asking “How do I sound?” and start asking “Who is speaking?”

Episode 0 — “The Architect of the Voice”
The story behind my method, Identity Recalibration:
how I help professionals transform anxiety into presence and performance into authenticity.

Listen when you need to reconnect with the part of you that already knows how to speak.

Can Watching Movies Help Improve My English? If Yes, How?

Movies are great sources of learning, including for improving your English. 

Even for people who don’t intentionally learn English, they can start to enrich their vocabulary and grammatical skill by watching many films.

 Although it is still highly advisable to learn English through formal education programs, movies can become an excellent tool to know how a native speaks and behaves.

Dive into my podcast and improve your listening skills, I'll ask you some questions so you can think in English & I'll get you to speak too. Have fun doing it

💔 Diálogo: La Confrontación por una Traición 😠

Lucía: ¿Así que todo este tiempo me has estado mintiendo, Andrés?

Andrés: ¿De qué hablas, Lucía? No entiendo…

Lucía: ¡No te hagas el tonto! Ya sé la verdad. Sé que estuviste con otra persona.

Andrés: No… no es lo que parece.

Lucía: ¿Ah, no? Entonces explícame por qué vi los mensajes en tu teléfono.

Andrés: No quería que te enteraras así…

Lucía: ¡¿Así?! ¿Entonces es cierto? ¡Me engañaste!

Andrés: No fue planeado, solo pasó…

Lucía: ¡No me digas que "solo pasó"! Eso no es una excusa.

Andrés: Yo… no quería lastimarte.

Lucía: ¿Y crees que eso lo hace menos doloroso? ¡Confié en ti, Andrés!

Andrés: Lo sé… cometí un error.

Lucía: ¡No fue un error, fue una decisión! Pudiste detenerte, pero no lo hiciste.

Andrés: Te juro que me arrepiento…

Lucía: El arrepentimiento no borra lo que hiciste.

Andrés: ¿Hay algo que pueda hacer para arreglar esto?

Lucía: No. Lo único que puedes hacer es irte y no volver.

Andrés: ¿De verdad quieres que me vaya?

Lucía: No quiero, Andrés… pero necesito hacerlo. Esto se acabó.

Andrés: Lo siento…

Lucía: Yo también… pero ya no hay vuelta atrás.
