Reviews for Say Goodbye to Your Southern Accent
I have been studying with a voice over coach. Her first suggestion to me was to contact a dialect coach about my southern accent. I didn't realize I had that much of a southern accent. I have no fear of losing my southern accent, which I am fine with, but I want to be able to choose to speak either with a Standard American accent or a southern accent, depending on the context. I did contact the dialect coach, and she was very good and extremely helpful. However, I was looking for a cheaper alternative for my continued progress, so I bought this book...What has been especially helpful about this book is that it points out common southern pronunciations, such as "yer" for "your," etc. -- words I never realized I'd been pronouncing with a southern accent. I also like that the lessons build on each other, and that the CD provides audio examples of the Standard American accent pronunciations. My voice over coach has not complained about my accent lately, so I believe I will get there with continued practice. — Susan Johann, Jacksonville, FL
