If a regional dialect holds you back, or if English is your second language, you might desire accent modification, often called accent reduction. Paul is a recognized authority on the two leading pronunciation systems (accents) for English — Standard British English (Received Pronunciation or RP) and General American English (GenAm).
He directed and voiced the Rosetta Stone language-acquisition software for both British English and American English. And a sample of his audio and video lessons, created for Learnship, GlobalEnglish, and Pearson are available here.
The two major products Paul offers to assist with accent reduction are:
– The General American dialect, if you want a more American sound to your accent, and
– The Standard British English dialect, if you prefer a more British sound.
These are available in both ebook and hard-copy form (with CD). Click the links above for details of each product and to order. Cost: $29.95.
But your accent-reduction training should not stop there! Paul offers Zoom coaching too.
