Do You Like the Way Your English Accent Sounds?How you sound in English matters. Research shows this very clearly. Native speakers judge people with clear, easy to understand accents as proficient in English (even if in reality they’re only beginners). On the other hand, they judge people whose accents are hard to understand as being low-level (Even if they’re advanced on paper).Awesome Accent is more than an English accent training guide. It’s all about speaking with an amazing sounding voice in English. Whether you want to speak English fluently and clearly with your own, native accent, or whether you want to learn a new accent such as a British accent or an American accent - I’ll teach you everything you need to know.Here’s What You’ll LearnIn Chapter 1 we discuss all the background stuff you need. What is an accent, really? What does your English accent say about you? How important is your accent when learning English as a second language? Do you need to live in a native-English speaking country? … and a whole lot more. In Chapter 2 we discuss some mindset issues that are probably holding you back. In Chapter 3, the three key elements to sounding awesome. Then, in Chapter 4-the main meat of this book-I’ll share with you everything you need to know to learn any accent you want. How to do it, where to start, the most important things to know, and how to put changing your accent on autopilot so it just happens naturally and pretty much by itself over time over time. Then in Chapters 5, 6, 7 and 8 we go far beyond the basics and learn how to develop your voice so you speak with massive confidence in any situation - whether you’re using English in business, your an Academic who uses English at conferences or you live in an English speaking country.And Here’s the Table of Contents: Chapter 1 - The What, Why and When of Sounding AwesomeChapter 2 - Some Silly MythsChapter 3 - The Three Aspects of Sounding AwesomeChapter 4 - How to Nail Any Accent You Want: The Quick ‘n’ Dirty GuideChapter 5 - The Laziest Sound in All of Human SpeechChapter 6 - Skipin’ Sounds for FluencyChapter 7 - Become a Maestro of Your VoiceChapter 8 - Controlling the Feeling in Your VoiceAbout Julian Northbrook: Julian Northbrook is an unconventional punk of the business English learning world. A leading expert in English education and direct response marketing, he’s fully equipped to drag you kicking and screaming from English-mediocracy to speaking at an outstanding level.

He understands exactly what it’s like to feel like a total idiot every time you speak. But Julian overcame his language problems, mastered the language, and went on to work first as a freelance translator, then as an executive member of a Japanese company. But he soon grew sick of the corporate world and left it to pursue something infinitely more satisfying - running his own business helping small business owners and entrepreneurs get so good at English that they forget that it’s not their first language.
