An accent is a unique way that speech is pronounced by a group of people speaking the same language. A person’s accent depends on many factors; however, accents are usually characterized by regional and foreign speech pattern distinctions. Participants come from a variety culturally and professionally diverse backgrounds. College professors, engineers, physicians, accountants, nail technicians, college students, computer programmers, attorneys, IT employees, and many more have all benefited from pronunciation training with a Compton PESL Specialist.
It is important to note that accent modification/ pronunciation training is not promoted in an attempt to diminish one’s cultural identity. At SpeechTactics we encourage our participants to preserve the uniqueness of their native language/dialect, and improve their proficiency in “Accent Switching”.
