Here’s some interesting news (or perhaps an opinion) about the Indian English accent vs. the Filipino English accent.

An article in the Economist Magazine states;

“The main reason for the success of the Philippine call centres is that workers speak English with a neutral accent and are familiar with American idioms—which is exactly what their American customers want. Of these, many have taken to complaining bitterly about Indian accents (which no amount of “voice neutralisation” coaching seems to have overcome).”

However, it seems that the Philippines can’t compete with India when it comes to producing highly skilled IT workers.

If you are an Indian English speaker working in IT, you need to check out my new course called, American Accent Training for IT Professionals.

In this online course, you will learn 120+ IT words and sentences you can use to reduce your accent and improve your American accent.

☆ These are words and sentences that you can use immediately to reduce your accent and improve your American English pronunciation.☆

The course is optimized for use on your computer, phone or tablet.

Improve the prospects for YOUR future by learning to speak with a clear American accent.

And…in my experience, Indian English speakers CAN learn to neutralize their accents with the the right type of accent training and daily practice.
