The accent is broadly the mix-n-match styling of speaking any particular language. Accent variation is widely being seen across the countries, regions and different people use different dialects to justify their native language speech. You must have seen and felt how accents change across regions… Isn’t it?  

There are none of the accents tips that are considered neutralized or static. Be it American accent or British accent, there are a few protocols that are required to be followed by the person to speak the language in that particular English accent. 

So, there are a few components that help to make up accent training successful such as: 

  1. Liaison – This the process of speaking words that are connected together to produce it as one word. 
  2. Intonation – Intonation defines for the stress, rhythm and tone put on the words.
  3. Pronunciation – It is an act of making (pronouncing) the sounds of words in a manner that focuses on the word while passing the air through the lungs, throat and vocal chords. 

 

To make your accent flow smoothly, there are a few basics that speakers should focus on while speaking in an American English accent. These are: 

  1. Tone – Tone signifies the attitude of an individual or (in written speech) that consists of formal, informal, humorous or cheerful compositions. 
  2. Consonants – Consonants belong to the words that are non-vowel sounds. Z, B, T, G, and H are all consonants. A consonant is a sound of the letters that does not make a vowel sound.
  3. Vowel sound – Vowels have short and long sounds that depend on the usage of words. 

 

In addition to all the above components required for speaking the language in any of the accents, three things are characterized by consonants: The voice, Way of articulation and Place of articulation. 

Apart from the English speaking accent tips, if we talk about written symbols, there is one symbol that narrates about whether the written sentences are long or short i.e – A colon [:]. This also acts as a fundamental symbol to be used in most of the sentences where – ‘A vowel is long’. 

Most languages need to follow some verbal and written protocols that become necessary in any of the languages that you speak.
