Accent neutralization helps one to get over stronger regional twangs and accents, and speak in a more neutral fashion so that callers from anywhere in the globe can understand them clearly. Phonetics are one of the most important aspects of accent neutralization training.

Phonetics lessons can help to understand the various sounds used in English language. You are rigorously trained in the differences between vowel and diphthong sounds, while you learn to pronounce consonants in a more neutral manner. This is especially important because there are differences even among native speakers of English, in the way certain vowels and diphthongs are pronounced.

Speech is another important aspect of accent training programs, as it concerns the tone, rate of speech, intonation, stress, and voice control, among others. Speech lessons focus on practical exercises which help one to deliver and stress words and syllables correctly. It’s helpful to work on this after phonetics, so that you already know how to pronounce words correctly. Another focus is on speaking at the appropriate speed, and maintaining a consistent volume of speech, so that listeners do not have difficulty understanding the agent.
