Benefits of English Accent Reduction Classes

Description:

Accent reduction is a useful tool to improve your communication skills in English .It is necessary, not only to be able to speak the language using an appropriate vocabulary, grammar and syntax (structure of sentences), but also, ideally, people should notice what you say and not the way in which you say One of the most obvious reasons to improve the accent is to facilitate better communication, since, although the interlocutor may understand you, it is possible that you focus more attention on the way of speaking instead of the message, or lose interest about what are you trying to say. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

accent reduction training
you need to take effective measures to reduce
that accent prior to attending any interviews.
You can check online for accent reduction
training and
its mostly the English accent that you need to
be worried about, since thats the lingua franca.
Do check out the following tips and you should be
able to reduce that accent and vocalize better.

Accent reduction tip 1 If you are having trouble
vocalizing the th sound, then this is what you
need to do just hold your tongue between your
front and bottom teeth and try to flatten it so
that the air from your lungs passes over it. This
should help you vocalize the th sound better.
Try it without making any sound, flatten that
tongue and then try vocalizing the th sound.
Apart from this, you may want to check online for
accent reduction videos and exercises which can
help you to reduce that accent altogether.

Accent reduction tip 2 Well, as you already know
theres the light l which we use when
pronouncing words with a vowel in front or at the
back of the l and then theres the heavy l
which we use when we use words with consonants
such as lynched-
these types of words allow you to quickly move
from one word to the other, without any issues.
Additionally you may also want to listen to a few
tapes with neutral accents and memorize how the
word sounds so that you can try to recreate the
same when you are pronouncing the same word. It
takes time and effort but you should be able to
reduce it
6
Accent reduction tip 3 It is important that you
relax and do your best to keep your stress under
limits. Granted that you are already feeling the
pressure and frustrated that your accent
reduction classes are not amounting to much at
this point. You need to realize that accent
reduction does not happen overnight but that it
needs constant practice until you get it perfect.
But remember to keep your stress levels down as
this can weaken your concentration and focus.
7
Accent reduction tip 4 you need to think
positively if you have already given up by the
time you enroll in an accent reduction course,
then chances are high that you would not be able
to change anything much. As corny as it
may sound, it is important that you think
positively and remain optimistic, as this can
help improve your chances when it comes to the
english accent reduction classes.

Whether you have been hired to do a voice over
for a commercial or just want to sound better for
your interview, it is always a good idea to get a
voice analysis done so that you know how you
sound to others in close proximity.
The voice quality in speech communication can
make all the difference between success and
failure??especially in the field of marketing.
This is why it is essential that you check out
the following tips on how to improve the quality
of your voice, within a short space of time.
9
Use the diaphragm Some people often speak
nasally in a high pitched tone and that
invariably irritates and upsets others. It is
important that you take the time to review the
voice quality in speech to see whether you have a
high
pitched tone to your voice and if so, take
corrective measures immediately. More often than
not, the issue with a nasal tone lies in the way
you breathe??you need to pace your breath at
regular intervals, use your diaphragm effectively
for the same and remember to project your voice
from the same area. This should help to take care
of that high pitched nasal tone you had picked up.
10
Join acting/ singing classes Most of these
classes include vocal work sessions and it should
be a lot of fun?-?see if you can enroll in a few
classes and with these vocal workouts,
you should be able to exercise your voice, alter
the tone effectively and even throw your voice so
that the person at the end of the room can hear
you audibly.
