HOW can i improve im my accent

@bcrichster said ny accent is bad :( how can i improve on it because my voice is normally Deep and heavy
Oh goodness.. I only said it was "thick", as in "difficult to understand by some ppl". I didn't use the word "bad" when discussing and I meant / intended no disrespect in any way. A deep and heavy voice is just fine, it just helps to clearly enunciate your words to prevent confusion.. I'd hate for any Developer to have a brick complaint due to a verbal misunderstanding.
 
If you're seriously trying to lose an accent, use this trick I picked up in radio some 30+ years ago... this is no joke, and works within a very few hours. Bite down on a pencil (with your tongue underneath it) and then read aloud for a half hour or so. It doesn't matter what you're reading, I used a local newspaper myself.
Do that for a week or so, and you'll retrain any accent out of your tongue. I dropped a seriously hideous redneck Texas drawl doing this, and ended up sounding like I come from no where in particular. This, along with truly learning to listen to yourself, can get rid of just about any accent/drawl on the planet.
Try it!
