How Does Accent Modification Work?

Speech Specialists obtains an analysis of the client’s speech to determine the ways in which it varies from Standard American English. We set goals based on the results of our analysis. We teach the client basic sounds and principles of Standard American English and target specific sound modification techniques. We emphasize pronunciation, intonation, stress, rate, and voice projection.
