title:: P/Accent Reduction With Gabe icon:: 👧 type:: project status:: archive sort-key:: 2022.11 start:: Sep 21st, 2022 estimated-end:: Oct 23rd, 2022 end:: Nov 12th, 2022 score:: 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 duration:: 8w - **Project Summary** - Score: 3 out of 5. A good start but results are below expectations. 6 paid sessions, $70 per session, plus two individual session we have to begin the journey, with @Gabe the instructor I found and Youtube and contacted. Added practice/accent as learned from Gabe to daily kaizen, but mostly missed it. We started having massively diminishing returns after 4 sessions as Gabe had not much other than usual reading and improve to offer. That said, I was thrilled to have tried #improv with Saie. I think this her first to play such spontaneous games. - I have a theory that My Work Mode changed my accent without me being conscious about it. - Example from Sept, self recording - Block Reference - Organic example from December recording [ P/Renovate AI pitch video - {{video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIG3v2iN_I0&feature=youtu.be}} - I am definitely more aware of the target accent sounds that I struggle with. SO it's down to practice and practice. The project also helped me discover and buy Books/Pronunciation Secrets which I shall add to my Every Day Kaizen practice now. - The missing achievement for me is a confirmation and worldly validation that our accents are more American now than before. I think we have missed on the practice. ==But not we know the gap== - **Purpose**: To sound like native American speaker. Indian accent reduced and eliminated. This serves the #High Status - **Outcome** - I have completed 4 sessions with @Gabe ✅ - Saie and I both partner and correct each other to negate the accent ✅ - We are P/Boston Strong 2022 ✋ - **Wins** - Happy to see saie so excited and willing to take on coaching. This breaks the ice for us to take more such classes together. Next up **Bollywood dance**? oooo.. #P/The Wedding - Now we know the gaps. Actual pronounciation that would take daily practice to train on. - Saie and I tried improve games together for the first time. A personal #projectidea would to take **#improv coaching** at some point. Shall be fun. - Started this project on Sep 21st, 2022 - ### Resources - Accent's Way English by with Hadar - practice/accent - Books/Pronunciation Secrets
