New Trends
You may have heard on the news, Accent Reduction is the latest trend in global communication. Even Americans with strong accents such as Ebonics, or a sharp Boston or Southern accent are learning to tone it down to speak to global audiences. People who speak English as a second language are perfecting their accents in English. The New York Times recently wrote an article that America is ready for an accent, as long as it is not too strong. Lisa Jeffery, MBA, MA, accent reduction expert, has coached and trained thousands of people from New York to South America to reduce their accents. She works with television personalities and Fortune 500 executives to help them speak better, powerful, more articulate International English.
