The Truth About Accent Reduction
Video Overview & Insights

A few notes:
- I have a tendency of overusing air quotes :)
- I am out of focus for the first few minutes
- This is my perspective as a professional who gets confronted on a daily basis with desperate requests to help “get rid of” accents. I will never play into people’s fears and hype up false, misleading marketing tactics. This is my honest opinion but it is safe to say that it is a complex topic that can stirrup a lot of mixed feelings. You are allowed to your feelings & opinions. These are just mine and they will continue to evolve over time.
- Moral of the story: don’t be discouraged. There is always room for improvement for any speaker. I just don’t want you hyper fixating on one aspect just because other people are being ignorant towards you. Try to focus on what you can control, and the bigger picture.

Marvellous vidio..
Today’s video is podcast style where I break down my thoughts on the questions around “getting rid of” an accent and the implications of limiting your communication skills to the concept of accent reduction. I get these kinds of questions all the time, and while there are varying opinions, experiences, perspectives and approaches to take - I felt it important to share my mindset on the matter. I hope you share your thoughts with me in the comments.

I don’t normally stop to comment but what a click bait. She spends the entire video explaining that it’s ok to have an accent - doh! That’s not the question woman, I know it’s ok without you telling me it’s ok! You supposedly made a video to discuss how to change this for folks who might need to - say you’re an actor who needs to do multiple accents! No need to spend 13 min being paternalistic about it, just focus on the topic you set up to discuss!
