AccentsThursday 28 March 2002
Cockney, Scouse, Geordie , plain posh, a lilt or a twang, you can't hide your accent, or can you?


How big an impact does your accent have on the way people perceive you? Is a strong accent unfeminine and a barrier to success? Or does it warm people to you.
Voice coach, Mary Oliver, and writer of Mother Tongue, Beth Allen, , join Jenni to discuss the pros and cons of pronunciation. Mother Tongue is on stage at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.
