PLANS OVERVIEW

BASIC

The BASIC plan is perfect for those who wish to make light modifications to their accent. All work takes place within the weekly sessions themselves, and clients are encouraged to make notes, and take time to work on these independently between sessions in order to maintain progress towards the desired goals.

Sessions deal with pronunciation, oral posture and prosodic features. At the end of each session, instructors may make verbal suggestions as to particular aspects of modification to focus on before the next session.

FULL ACCESS

The FULL ACCESS plan is for individuals who are wishing to shift their own accent as completely and entirely as is possible for them. While it is possible to change one’s accent entirely, it is an extremely challenging process and we cannot, and would not guarantee this with certainty. The process involves regular effort and practise, and can be time consuming. The result, however, can be hugely worthwhile.

We are often asked how long it takes to make this change. The answer to this question depends on many factors, including (but not restricted to): time available to commit to the process outside of the weekly sessions; the degree of change desired; and the familiarity with the target accent before beginning the process. The FULL ACCESS plan is designed for those who seek to benefit from regular, daily contact** for check-ins with The Accent Centre in order to increase their rate of improvement, or to cover more material, in a shorter space of time.

While it is truly impossible to predict the length of time it would take to achieve this goal, we would anticipate a sizeable change within 6 months for FULL ACCESS users, depending on the factors outlined above.

Alongside contact with an instructor and daily check-in opportunities, subscribers to the FULL ACCESS plan will be provided with permanent online access to a full breakdown of all vowel and all relevant consonant pronunciation features, their own oral posture and prosodic patterns, alongside a map of how to modify these towards their target accent. This will act as our programme of work towards your journey of accent modification during our sessions.
