Accent reduction (or accent modification) is a form of speech training that helps non-native or regional speakers adjust pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm to align more closely with a target dialect, often General American or Received Pronunciation English. It is commonly pursued by professionals, actors, and call-center or customer-facing employees to improve clarity and reduce miscommunication in cross-cultural workplaces. Training typically involves working with a speech coach or app using phonetic drills, recorded feedback, and shadowing exercises.
