My own accent is a relaxed RP, and I'm very interested in accents, but I don't teach any more. Here's an offer, though:
Browse the UK teachers here and choose a few that you like the look of. Send me the teacher IDs and I'll watch their videos and tell you which one(s) have the best accents. How does that sound?
RP = Received Pronunciation, aka BBC English.
Kristiina, you can go to Google and use these search terms:site:www.italki.com accent reduction united kingdom
This is the quickest way to find teachers from the UK specialized in accent reduction. I wish italki offered a way to search for keywords inside teacher's profiles.As a side note, in China, if you want to work for radio or TV, you need to undergo an examination to make sure your pronunciation follows the national Putonghua standard. Points are taken away for every mispronounced syllable. That's why some Chinese teachers here on italki mention the score they got in this exam. It would be cool if something similar was available to certify speakers of other languages.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am getting a little confused, Is the question wrong. RP "accent" help? should it not be RP pronunciation help.
I have always thought Pronunciation (articulation) was different to an accent.
The major differences between Pronunciation & Accent:
Accent is different from pronouncing a language, it depends on the regions, countries or cities and also sometimes on the class of people (i.e., upper class, lower class).
Accent refers to the stress on a letter in the word whereas the pronunciation is an articulation of words.
Accent is all about intonation, whereas pronunciation is all about articulation.
So why are people talking about accents?
