Accent Reduction Programs
What Is Accent Reduction?
Accent reduction is the process of modifying a person's pronunciation so their speech is more understandable to a native, in this case, American-English speaker. ALTA has trained experts who can coach you to modify a heavy accent with exercises that are proven effective. People who speak English with an Indian accent, Filipino accent, Trinidadian accent or Jamaican accent, for example, may often have trouble communicating effectively with native American-English speakers. The target accent for accent reduction is the Standard American Accent, in order to facilitate communication with the widest percentage of American-English speakers.
