India is a diverse country with around 22 official languages and more than 1000 languages spoken in India. Even in the same district, two groups of people might have a different language. Now, if someone wants to enter the world of acting, they must get the accent and pronunciation correct. But given the diversity of the country, it gets very hard for people whose native language isn’t the language being used. For them, listed below are few points collected from a renowned acting institute in Kolkata which would help them have a better grasp over pronunciation.

1. Master the language before you master the accent.

2. Record yourself to find out the subtle mistakes.

3. Pay attention to the lips and tongue movement.

4. Notice which words are being stressed on more and are stressed on less.

5. Stand in front of the mirror while practicing.

6. Body language is a big part of communication, remember that.

7. Practice, practice, practice.
