Accent Modification
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 15% of the American workforce is foreign born, meaning that 23.9 million individuals legally employed in the U.S. may speak English with what is considered as a “foreign accent” by native American-English speakers. Did you know that your employer could require proficiency in English? If your natural accent interferes with that, it could cost you your job. The EEOC forbids discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring and firing; however, an employer can require an employee to speak fluent English if fluency in English is necessary to perform the job effectively. This can result in negative job performance and outcomes no matter how skilled you are.
Accent Modification, or Accent Reduction, is a specialized, voluntarily sought service aimed at supporting speakers of all cultural and societal backgrounds achieve confidence in their pronunciation of spoken English.
English is one of the most difficult languages to learn, read, and speak. Accent Modification can also help native English speakers, as dialectal accents can be very pronounced, especially in New York, or in the South. Former successful clients include physicians, professors, college students, and real estate agents. This service is useful for professionals, students, entrepreneurs, actors, theatre majors, news anchors, meteorologists and anyone who wants to improve their accuracy in English. Let us help you achieve your career goals with confidence in spoken English.
