how do you get rid of an accent?

Everyone has an accent.\nYou don't get rid of an accent; you acquire a new one.\nSwitch your focus from what you sound like to what you want to sound like.

you don't HAVE to move. that is one way. but you can just note the words you say with an accent and make a point to change the way you pronounce them. i come froma VERY country family and i'm not at all. its hard, but it works.

You wouldn't want to do that unless you want people to think you're dumb or a criminal.  It's the worst accent in Britain - both my opinion and that of the UK as a whole.  Try a Scottish or Irish accent - much nicer and people will trust and respect you more as well.\n\nIf you really want to sound Cockney then just drawl everything, say 'innit', 'like', 'know what I mean'. 'right' at least 28 times in every sentence.\n\nHere's a good website, it's part of the BBC's Voices Project - http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/recordings/index.shtml

You usually develop an accent by spending enough time around people who have that accent (ie. moving to a new place).  It just takes time.

The best way to learn any accent or vocal imitation is to LISTEN - over and over and over again!  Get hold of as many recordings of American voices as possible and listen to them until you think you'll go crazy!  And then PRACTISE!!!  Repeat what's said and consider recording yourself and playing it back so you can really hear what you sound like and hear the areas that you need improvement in.  When you think you have some mastery of it, go out and practise with strangers - use it when you're out shopping etc.  Also... There are very different accents depending on various areas of America - what accent you need to learn will depend on what area you are pretending to be from!

There is a range of software called "nativly". I applied to get into America, and they supplied me ( at a charge ) with CD-Roms from a nativly range.\n\nThis range is your accent is challenged, you can talk int oa mic and compare it to a recording from the ROM.\n\nYou get tested and if you do like me ( I learn 5 words a day ) you'll get there.\n\nI got the German, Italian, and Spanish, but there are other titles.

I'm not from England, I'm Irish, but I'd say some American accents sound lovely and some sound horrible.  There are lots of different American accents, just as there are lots of English accents, some nice and some not so nice.  I don't really think it's always the accent we like or dislike, it's other features of the person's speech.  For example, I personally can't bear listening to people with a strong nasal tone to their voice and I switch off when someone speaks too loudly.  I've read some research that says accents that feature stronger nasal tones are perceived negatively - in the UK, this is often described as a feature of the Birmingham accent (in the English midlands), the Australian accent, and the accent in some parts of New York and New Jersey (like Chandler Bing's early girlfriend in Friends).  My own accent - Northern Irish - is definitely NOT considered a 'cool' accent, so I'll sit here in my little glass house and make sure I throw no stones ;-)

You can buy some speech tapes [elocution] or a book which tells you how to pronounce English properly without have that 'Mayfair' drawl [posh stuff]  Start off with exercises; use the tip of your tongue, the roof of your mouth, your teeth and lips and open your mouth more when you speak.  You should try singing sentences - you don't hear that many accents from pop singers because they aren't as lazy with their mouths when they sing.\n\nI am sure there will be tapes - search on the internet under 'Elocution'  and Good Luck\n\nBy the way you will be regarded more highly if you speak well [not posh] and don't speak too fast, it's almost impossible to understand young people in call centres these days, I have to make them slow down and pronounce their words properly to get to know what they are talking about!
