ADULT SPEECH THERAPY

Accent Modification

Accent modification is a personalized way to sharpen your English pronunciation by adjusting your clarity, rhythm, and sound patterns.

Align Your English to the North American Standard

An accent is a meaningful reminder that you speak more than one language. Still, when sound patterns of different languages influence your English pronunciation, it can lead to misunderstandings. Learning the sounds and rhythm of North American English can boost clarity, confidence, and connection.

Accent Modification Goals

Refine English Vowels

Produce vowels accurately and consistently (i.e. team/Tim, look/Luke)

Improve Word Stress

Use appropriate syllable stress (i.e. OBject, obJECT)

Master Consonant Sounds

Correctly articulate challenging sounds like th, r, l, and ch

Practice Intonation Patterns

Use rising and falling pitch appropriately in questions, statements, and emphasis

What To Expect In Accent Modification

We’ll begin with a detailed speech assessment to identify the sounds, patterns, and rhythm features most affecting your intelligibility. Your training plan will include:

  • Guided pronunciation practice with feedback

  • Audio recording for self-monitoring

  • Real-world speaking tasks like meetings & interviews

  • Home exercises for ongoing improvement

Progress is tracked regularly, and sessions are tailored to your goals, pace, and communication needs
