Our Perth-based speech pathology clinic offers expert clinical assessment and treatment for a wide range of voice disorders.

    Accent Modification / Expansion

    When a person has an accent, it means [they] can speak one more language than you” - Frenando Lamas

    Having an accent indicates your cultural heritage and shows you have a story to tell. It’s why we call it accent modification or expansion rather than reduction. Modifying or expanding your accent is a worthy goal - communication allows us to connect with others, professionally and personally, and these services can help you focus on the important stuff, rather than solving communication breakdowns. If that’s your goal, we are here to support you to improve your clarity and confidence with our professional accent modification and expansion services.

    Whether you're looking to reduce your accent for professional reasons or improve intelligibility, we can help you develop clear, effective communication skills. We offer personalised training to refine pronunciation, stress, and intonation patterns, supporting you in achieving your communication goals.
