After my seminar people come up to be to ask questions they didn’t want to ask publicly.  Without a doubt the most common “private” question I get is about accents.  People want to know how they can reduce their accents.

For me, it’s not about reducing an accent, it’s about acquiring accent options.  This week my show The Public Speaker, I talk about ways you can learn to modify  the way you speak.

Here’s a fun video that show an actress who learned 21 different accents.

On my Art of Speaking Science blog I describe a variety of free and fee accent modification resources to help you get started.
