There are a lot of people that are learning the English language that has dreams of being able to obtain an American accent. So, we figured that we would put together a few tips that could help you. This is basically the JustLearn.com tutor's guide to answering the question 'how can I get an American accent fast?'.

You may never get a perfect accent

Right away, we want to point out that you may never be able to get a perfect American accent. Watch some top actors act in American movies. Some of them are British, etc. You will notice that while they come close to getting an American accent, many of them are never going to be 'spot on. Sometimes, their original accent is going to sneak through there. Sadly, there is not much that can be done about this.

This means that if you want to learn how to get an American accent fast, you should not be striving for perfection. You should be striving to be the best speaker that you possibly can be.

Learn English fluently

Before you can even think about picking up an American accent, you need to be able to speak a language fluently. Remember, if you can't speak a language fluently, you will be having to constantly think about the next word that you are going to say, and this is really going to be hampering the way that you speak.

Get an accent tutor

Your best bet to learn an American accent fast is to get an accent tutor. This is how professional actors will pick up an accent. The tutor will be able to teach you whether what you are doing is wrong or right. In some cases, with the right tutor, you may even be able to pick up an American accent in just a few short weeks.

Now, we know that not everybody will be able to afford a professional tutor, but it really is the quickest way to learn a language.

Copy the facial shapes in American media

Watch American TV shows and movies 'slowly'. You can then copy the facial shapes that these people make. If you do that, you may be able to shape your face in such a way that you are able to make the sounds properly. Of course, you will want to make sure that the person that you are watching is actually American. After all, if you are watching a British person plays an American, there is no guarantee that you will learn the American accent properly.

If you want to learn an American accent fast, then why not talk to your tutor here at JustLearn.com? They will be more than happy to provide you with the tips that you need for the rapid development of an accent. However, do bear in mind that you may never be quite perfect with the accent. You may still struggle, but if you can get close, that is probably all that is going to matter to most people, right?

How do you get an American accent?

How long does it take to get an American accent?

If you practice frequently enough, it will probably take about 3-4 weeks for your accent to start changing into American.

How to do an American accent for actors?

Nearly every single non-American actor that is expected to have an American accent will have a vocal coach working on the set. Their job is to coach the actor on the very specific lines that they are saying. This means that the actor may be brilliant at those specific words, but they may not have a great American accent outside of the set. Basically, you can think of them as being able to parrot words but not be able to say them perfectly. Of course, over time, the more the actor is working with their vocal coach, the more that they will start to pick up the nuances of the American accent.
