London is the capital of England, with a diverse population and as many accents as you can shake a stick at.
Unfortunately, not every accent is treated the same way. There are stereotypes surrounding certain dialects and accents, and anything that isn’t the ‘Queen’s English’ can sometimes be looked down upon.
This is of course ridiculous, but accent reduction is becoming a more and more popular way of softening strong accents. It isn’t a case of working to remove one’s existing accent, as that remains an important part of their identity, but of working towards an accent that’s more neutral and easy for others to understand.
After all, in an increasingly globalized world where remote work is becoming the norm in many industries, communication between borders is becoming more commonplace. This means that it’s in your interest to be as easy to understand as possible for others, whether it’s your coworkers assembled for a presentation you’re about to give, a boss at the company you want to work for, or a room of people you want to impress to make the most of networking opportunities.
Accent reduction is definitely a skill that would be exceptionally difficult to try and learn all by yourself.
Teaching yourself to play an instrument is challenging, but attempting to soften your accent without a tutor is a herculean task.
Why?
Because you need someone to model the accent you’re trying to replicate and teach you how to get there with the right mouth, lip, and tongue positioning. Watching videos of someone pronouncing a letter a certain way is less helpful than you might think when it comes to doing it yourself.
If you’ve ever tried to learn the trilled Spanish ‘r’ sound, and watched dozens of videos to try and figure it out, you’ll understand how difficult it is to emulate sounds based purely on videos.
When you work with a tutor you’ll have someone experienced to walk you through every sound you need to pronounce, so you can make progress as quickly and effectively as possible. You’ll also have someone to spot your blind spots and correct your mistakes, so you don’t have to spin your wheels preventing your own progress.
As you can imagine, the most difficult aspect of reducing your accent is mastering all the sounds and how to pronounce them correctly.
It’s more difficult to learn how to pronounce words differently when you’ve pronounced them a certain way your whole life. This applies to any subject: unlearning is required to learn the right way, and this process takes a lot of time as you’re essentially trying to undo years of unconscious habits and practice.
There are many vowel and consonant sounds to get to grips with, as well as tricky letter clusters and words or phrases that will trip you up the first few times.
Accent reduction is a highly beneficial skill as it can change how you show up in the world for the better. It isn’t that it gives you a superpower or lets you walk on water, but when you can retrain your accent to be better understood by those you talk to, the world becomes your oyster.
People will appreciate all the work you’ve put in, especially in a professional context, and will be shocked to learn where you’re from after you’ve opened your mouth. But beyond the praise of others, it’s all about the confidence you gain.
Reducing your accent will give you the confidence to speak up in any situation. If you are ever worried about being misunderstood when you travel or go to a job interview, then accent reduction will alleviate these concerns. The confidence you gain can lead to better things in your career and personal life, as you’ll be able to express yourself without inhibition.
If you’re in the London area and you’re looking to reduce your accent, you can find a highly-qualified tutor to work with on the Superprof website.
When you work with a Superprof tutor, you can choose to take classes online or in-person and practise until you feel like you’ve perfected your new accent.
