If you have been struggling to master American English pronunciation, I have a tip that will totally change the game for you!

But first, a quick backstory…

When I was in college, I took a "voice, diction, and dialects" class. We studied accents, practiced public speaking, and dabbled in some acting. Overall, it was a fun class. However, the coolest thing I learned in this class was “the easy way” to master any accent -- and it’s something I absolutely didn’t expect.

Want to know what it is?

Today I was giving feedback to a student in our Accent Freedom Program, and I noticed he had the bad habit of overusing fillers in his speech.

This is a common problem, and not just for English learners. Even native speakers struggle with this bad habit!

So, this blogpost is going to explain the issue and give you some solutions.
