Accent Modification

Everyone has an accent.


Your accent was shaped as you listened to, learned and
produced your first words and continued to be sculpted
as you mastered your primary language or languages.


Every language has a specific set of speech sounds used
in that language. Although languages may share
commonalities in their written form, the sounds may
vary to a significant degree, if only slightly.
This difference is what constitutes an accent.


Having an accent is not a bad thing. Your accent says
a lot about your identity and life experience. It is
something to be proud of and it doesn't have to get in
the way of your communication ability. In fact, there
are many English speakers who speak with a non-
standard accent and do not struggle to make themselves
understood by a diverse audience.


On the other hand, if you feel frustrated during
conversation or find that others seem to misunderstand
what you say, you may benefit from making a few
adjustments to your speech production.


As a licensed Speech Language Pathologist, I am highly qualified
to provide analysis and instruction in speech sound production
to address your needs.
