Regional accent reduction training

Do people often say to you “you must be from New York,” or do they say “where from down south are you from?”

Many individuals have distinct regional accents. These accents may have vowel pronunciations and stress and intonation patterns that characterize the region in the U.S they are from but differ from where they live. Is this what you are experiencing? Does your accent bother you?

Although your speech is often understood, your pattern of speech may differ greatly from the speech patterns of the region where you are currently living.

Think about your communication skills:

• How often do people ask you to repeat what you just said?
• Do you notice a long silence after you have said something?
• Is the listener trying to figure out what it is you just said?
• Is your regional accent getting in the way of your business success?

A person with a southern accent may draw their words out and use inappropriate elongation of vowels. The New York accent is identified by its heavy, nasal sound. If you are telling someone that you do business in the Far East, you don’t want them to think you work in a forest, do you?
