The Four Most Annoying U.S. Accents

The Four Most Annoying U.S. Accents - DivineCaroline


Accent reduction is not just for foreigners! I often work with Americans to get rid of their annoying regional accents and dialects. An example would be an actor with a "Miami" accent, who wants to work in LA; a financial advisor with a Texas accent who finds his accent is not 'chic' on Wallstreet; a young lawyer with a 'valley girl' accent who wants to be taken seriously in the courtroom, and a young African American who wants to get Ebonics out of his speech for job interviews.

Check out this article of the four most annoying accents in America:
1. The uppper Midwestern "Yah?"
2. Northern New Jersey, a.k.a. “Joisey”
3. Welcome tah Bahston
4. The Deep South: Y’all C’mon Back Now, Y’Hear
