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”. Just as one might learn to
speak two or
three different languages, the same goes for accents or dialects.
