- In linguistics, an accent is a pronunciation characteristic of a particular group of people relative to another group.
- An accent coach helps a person to learn the sound system (or phonology) of a language or dialect.
- The methodology involves several steps, including assessing your current accent for trouble spots, or non-standard patterns and habits, changing the way you form your mouth to form vowel and consonant sounds, modifying your intonation and stress patterns, and changing your rhythm.
- A person can learn phonological rules and prosody, which is the rhythm and stress, as well as intonation and phrasing.
- Accent modification is offered by certified speech-language pathologists, linguists and specialists in ESL (English as a Second Language).
