What Kind of American Accent Do You Have?

Many Americans who participate in public speaking events, such as presentations, telephone conference business calls, meeting updates, or teaching often want to change their accent to a more neutral or "standard" American accent because they don't like their regional one.

Well, there is good news and there is bad news! The bad news is that the "standard" American accent doesn't really exist naturally; it is the professional accent that public speakers, such as news anchors learn. The good news is that you can learn this accent!

The American accent that comes closest to the standard American accent is thought to be in the midwest, somewhere around Michigan.
