Accents develop naturally as individual regions begin to pronounce words differently than the shared ancestral pronunciation. Every person has an accent, the only difference is that it is very rare that people who live in the same place throughout their lives notice their accent because everyone in their vicinity has the same accent, but journey far enough away and these people will discover that everybody thinks that they have the odd accent.

Since Canadians likely live far away from you, they would appear to have an accent relative to your accent.

ANSWERPractice, practice, practice. Talk with friends, listen carefully, play with the words. Record yourself and listen. This is very powerful. Musicians are sometimes amazed when they hear recordings of their playing. There is something about performing that alters our moment-to-moment experience of what we are doing.Everyone speaks with an accent. To me, English without an accent will sound very accented to people in the UK. So think in terms of modifying your accent, if you want, not eliminating it. Accent is not a bad word; speaking well with an accent is a beautiful thing. Nonsense spoken with clear, unaccented diction is still nonsense.ANSWERWe Canadians like to pretend (and most Canadians actually believe) that we don't speak with an accent. If that's true (and I don't believe it to be so) then the way to speak without an accent would be to speak like Canadians. Tune in Canadian radio and television stations, and listen to Radio Canada International, our shortwave service.ANSWERYou can't.
