How To Learn American Accent?

How can I learn an accent (either an regional american or another language)?

  • Answer:

    1. Listen (to people, tapes, cds, music, movies, etc--anything you can get your hands on) 2. Practice (record yourself, be critical, and take notes) 3. If you can afford it, there are voice coaches for this sort of thing. Here is a link to Bob Corff's site. He has a course called "Achieving the Standard American Accent" that you might want to look into. http://www.corffvoice.com/

spend time with the people who have that accent. Or listen to cds or tapes. Or, even better, learn another language and then try speaking your own again! You'll have one fer sure.

Try a dialogue coach, or call the linguistics department of your local university and ask where you could find someone to help you do this.

Associate with groups of people who have the accent that you want to learn. Listen to their voices, inflections, tones, etc. until you can mimic them.'
