The balancing act when Accent makes the difference

The thought of defining accent as the representative sounds of a  common language spoken by a group of people from the same geographical area is enticing. Pretty Complex no its Pretty simple. That's exactly how you're identified as an Indian or British or American. In fact the identification is done even at a distance of 6 feet on a crowded railway station where a group of people say from Bengal or Kerala for that matter, have assembled for a words-laughter and mayhem-session before departure whistles demand to let-go. Nine out of ten times the listener without knowing much of the language rightly guesses where they come from or hail from. So to get accent right it's better to go through a program from a reputed coach or an English Language Academy. The simple sounds the letters sing is one way to go. The Origin Position and Shape of the nose mouth, tongue etc could be great guides to move you along the right path. I suggest check out a weekend workshop or a free demo class and decide for yourself where you stand and whether the tutor/facilitator/coach can really help you to make it big as a communicator. That's one to mull on this weekend.
