Even though it may seem difficult at times, you have the ability to change your accent. One of the most important factors in accent reduction is gaining the ability to use an American Accent during typical everyday conversations and stressful situations. The first step towards that goal is to learn the differences between your current speech patterns, including accent, and standard American accent.  After learning those differences, many individuals work to improve their accent by completing self-study or by working with a specially trained professional, typically a speech-language pathologist, to coach them through the process.  Please do not hesitate to use the resources for a free accent reduction quiz and tutorial linked to this website at accentpros.com.
