- 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.

Awful on Android, Great on IPhone. I used this a lot on my old phone during drama school and loved it! I have now got a Samsung S10e and none of the accents can be heard, including the sample material. I've even purchased an accent (Dublin Female) and I cannot hear any of this on my new phone. Not impressed with my experience right now. Emailed with no response.
Audio doesn't stop when the app is closed. Even when the app is dismissed or forced closed. Also, there is no pause of stop buttons. Once an audio is started, you must finish it.
Love using the accent kit, my drama students use it everytime we are rehearsing a play. The app is easy to use and a welcome tool, students have the app on their phone, its always accessible and saves a great deal of time and faff. Thank you for creating this.
Fantastic. Easy to use with great references and clips to help you not just do the accent but be able to find your own voice with it. Highly recommended to my fellow actors.
This app is awesome... Great idea to help actor's with accents from around the world. Each accent is unique because they are all reall people. Thank you accent kit!
It was really inconvenient for me to download this app and I was ready to buy an accent but every time I press the accent purchase button it does absolutely nothing.
I had the previous issue with be app and the developers replied directly to my issues through my review and fixed the problem. I'm looking forward to trying out more accents. Thank you for fixing the issue.
I didn't like the app at first (no IPA) but it grew up one me in time. I'd recommend it as a practice tool for someone who has the basics already covered.
There is nothing for Spanish speakers just South America and the Caribbean wish there was something for México heck even Spain even though they are different accent and slang words Otherwise fun app
Seems like an interesting app, but only if you want to learn accented English.
i was really excited to get this,but when i got on it i couldnt ever hear anything:(my sound woeks fine om everything else:(if this gets fixed i will gladly consider redownloading this app:)
This app is everything I could hope it to be. I had been looking for some time for a resource like this app with a great lack of success, so I'm very glad to have found this one.
Doesn't work. Can't hear my audio. Wasn't as good as I expected. I think this app really deserves 1 star. Not even 1 less than that.
Cornwall only accent available and Im from there already... Audio files didn't play either. Maybe il try again in a year after updates...
Hello, i'm kinda new to this app. I just downlaoded this app and it went well so far but when i clicked on preview button, nothing happened
Just a rubbish app...no playback and nothing. Confusing to understand.
The playback function doesn't work which really inhibits your ability to hear any progress...
Amazing application. I really would like at least 2 accents at startup
Quick question: why can't I pick MY Own accent to learn not the app automatically deciding and making me PAY for the accent I wanted to learn?
I fell bad for giving such a bad review oh, but I just really wish there was a Polish accent and I really wish you didn't have to pay, sorry!
I really don't understand this app. I can't hear anything after I record.
This aap literally is nothing nor does anything. Yes! I am an actor. Why else would anyone have the need to download this app?
Fantastic APP, it really helped my audition
This app is excellent. In depth and detailed. It handily breaks down accents into individual sounds (vowels and consonants), where in the mouth the voice is based, tonality, hesitation noise etc. It's superb. I'd really like some more accents on offer for the uk - suffolk and essex would be good.
