How can you change your accent?

how do you change your voice? or sound or how to sing? i don't know i just want to change the way i talk.. thank you!
How can you change your accent?
It's difficult to change one's accent, because when we aquire language as babies/children, we learn to speak in that way- our mouths and tongues have to move in a certain way to produce a certain sound. That's why it's so hard to pick up a new accent when learning a new language.



As for learning to sing, you could look into taking singing lessons. I took some once, and the teacher taught us how to use our buccal (mouth/oral) muscles to move to produce better sounds for singing.
How can you change your accent?
It depends on the muscles you are using in your mouth and chin and cheek and the way you speak and the strength etc!



Hope this helps!
it is possible to change your accent.

if you can already do the accent that you want to change to, start consciously doing it when you speak. with time it will become natural.



if you think you can learn to do the target accent (with a help of a friend, for example) then learn it. after that start talking with it.



otherwise you'd have to go to a speech professional. depending on where you live, they are called different things:



* Speech-language pathology (SLP) in the United States and Canada

* Speech and language therapy (SLTs) in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa. Within the United Kingdom a Speech and Language Therapy team is often referred to by clinicians as the %26quot;SALT%26quot; team.

* Speech pathology in Australia

* Speech-language therapy in New Zealand

Other terms in use include speech therapy, logopaedics and phoniatrics.



but this last option might be costly.
