Can You Speed Up Accent Reduction? What Science Says

Yes—accent reduction can be sped up, but only with focused, repetitive, and feedback-driven practice. Research shows that frequent short sessions and immediate correction help the brain and muscles form new speech habits faster.

The science behind it is called neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to rewire itself through repetition. Consistent daily training strengthens new pronunciation patterns while gradually fading old ones. The key is precision, not just practice.

Techniques like shadowing, recording-and-review cycles, and guided coaching accelerate results by reinforcing correct movement and sound production.

Intonetic’s accent coaching method applies these principles directly—helping professionals achieve measurable accent improvement up to twice as fast through targeted drills, structured feedback training.
