Accent Modification
Accent modification focuses on speech sounds (consonants and vowels), stress, intonation and other “naturalness” factors (such as rate of speech).
Accent modification services cover three main areas: foreign accent modification, dialect coaching and business communication. A foreign accent occurs when a person speaks their second language using some of the rules or sounds of their first language. A regional accent, or dialect, refers to a person using some of the common rules or sounds from another part of the country.
