Three of the UKs leading accent coaches present The ACCENT Kit: an invaluable tool and resource for actors, and anyone wanting to learn accents.

Edda Sharpe, Jan Haydn Rowles and Richard Ryder’s highly skilled yet invisible work, can be heard across the creative industries, from Game of Thrones to the Royal Shakespeare Company. They are on the call sheets for all the major international film and TV production companies and on the rehearsal schedules for leading theatre producers and directors.  Simply, you couldn’t be in better hands.

The ACCENT Kit app is free to download and gives you access to a library of REAL AUTHENTIC ACCENT SPEAKERS validated by experts for authenticity and ‘usability’.

Build your very own accent library at the touch of a button.

Only buy accents that work for your profile and character.

Or use the app to record people reading The ACCENT Kit and build your own accent library for free!

Downloadable kits include recordings of authentic speakers demonstrating the five crucial elements needed to learn an accent, set out in a simple, easy to use structure;
- FREE SPEECH: a 1-3 minute story of personal interest in the speaker’s own words.
- FOUNDATIONS: the oral SETTING, the focal ZONE and the TONE of the accent.
- PRACTICE TEXT: the speaker reading a set text containing all the speech sounds and combinations you need.
- WORD LIST and SENTENCES: all the vowel shapes of the accent together with practice sentences recorded by the sample speaker.
- CONSONANTS and PRACTICE SENTENCES: six consonant sounds that can make or break your accent together demonstrated together with practice sentences recorded by the sample speaker.

Each element is user friendly, straight forward and easy to navigate.

Tap the question mark at any time for further guidance.

You can also;
- Record yourself practicing the accent.
- Store all your recordings in your own library of MY RECORDINGS and PURCHASED FILES.

Ratings and reviews

This app is genuinely awful. The recordings are spoken at record speed so if you want to practice them as you hear them, which is how one learns to improve their dialect, it is basically impossible. Truly, this app has no idea how to help people with dialects. I took a class ages ago and wanted to clear up some of the regional sounds I've picked up. With this app, it is impossible to do that. One needs to hear and repeat and listen. But one needs to do it at a slower pace.

Really good app. More and more accents would make this incredible. Recording your own audio sends bad. Saw someone say the same from their phone. Developers suggested it was the user's phone. It wasn't. I have the same problem. Whatsapp seem to have amazing audio compression algorithms, check out the quality difference in them. Seriously amazing app though. I love it Pretty much all the audio files seem to take ages to play? Never had this issue before so hot sure what the craic is

UPDATE: At first I couldn't record myself same as others couldn't. Went into phone's settings, apps, found this one, and learned microphone permission was "denied". Changed that to approved & bingo, recording facility now works! The actual accent studies are improved from when the app first came out years ago. Glad I gave app another chance, downloaded again & purchased lessons.
