(public speaking) How Voice Training Can Aid in Accent Reduction Posted By : The Voice Lady

As a voice specialist, I have known for many years that a good voice improvement course can be an excellent means of accent reduction.

And, although voice training is not intended to eliminate accents, it helped this Boston student produce his vowel sounds with much greater ease because he is now powering his sound by means of his chest cavity instead of just by means of his throat and voice box. By learning how to project his voice instead of shouting or yelling, he discovered that he is able to retain control over his voice, his vowel sounds, and his volume.
