Better ask how do you get rid a geordie accent?!!!!
The simplest way to get rid of an accent is to live somewhere else for a few decades. In lieu of that, one could try speech training, which is supposedly very effective.

As an American living in London it is quite easy to get a british accent (or fake one) you can either take speech classes with a british teacher or go live in England for a while and see the accent.
This is a matter of vanity and personal feelings. It has nothing to do with necessity. As long as a person can speak and be understood, there is no linguistic reason to attempt to get rid of a native accent.
Live in England for a while... But if you mean just get rid of the french accent, you just need to practice putting the emphasis on words at the right spots. But most people like a french accent...

the Southern Accent
It's difficult to define a neutral accent because everyone speaks with some sort of accent, whether it be a New York accent, Texan american, Canadian, home counties British English, etc. While it's great to be understood by people who have a different accent, in general people are very accepting of different accents and ultimately our accent is part of who we are. A 'neutral accent' can be defined as a way of speaking (tone, intonation etc) where people from any geographical location is able to understand you, provided they know the language themselves! The 'neutral accent', in speech training refers to the module in which the participant is taught how to get rid of his/her MTI (Mother Tongue Influence). This kind of training is mostly used in businesses where interaction with over-seas customers/clients is a prerequisite.
