Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you can take classes that make you loose your accent and you end up basically without one - yes it does cost money but it works (my sis is an actress and had a terrible southern accent - she has it no more!)

or, you can do what i do - i think about the words i say and try to pronounce them without the accent - emulate the people you see on TV - you'll be surprised that once you start listening to yourself speak you will be more conscience of how you say the words!Www@QuestionHome@Com
