Accent Softening for Business Course

Our Accent Softening for Business course is for non-native English speaking business professionals who wish to neutralise or modify their accent for professional or personal reasons.

If you feel that your accent is holding you back, that you frequently get asked to repeat yourself or worry that people haven’t fully understood you, then this is the course for you. We will provide you with a comprehensive, step-by-step plan to gaining a natural and flexible pronunciation of English. Working in small groups, you’ll focus on the vowel and consonant sounds of Received Pronunciation (RP) as well as training your mouth muscles to master the sounds you need with freedom and ease.

Accent Softening for Business Course Content

Exact course content may differ according to the course length and your needs, but topics covered generally include:

  • Rigorous articulation exercises designed to strengthen your speech muscles; in order to achieve clear, flexible RP sounds more easily
  • A practical understanding of the placement and facial movements of the accent
  • A detailed breakdown of the sounds of RP; giving you a solid foundation of the tongue and mouth movement as well as sound length
  • Feedback on your speech and accent habits and techniques on how to improve your long-term goals
  • Working with a variety of texts to apply the techniques
  • An understanding of how to apply the new sounds to everyday speech and text

Please bring a text of your choice to this course. This could be anything: a business report or email, a magazine article or letter or an excerpt from a novel.

You'll receive continued and constructive feedback throughout the course.

Accent Softening for Business tutors

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
