British or American: decide first
The two accents differ in ways that matter from the first sentence: the R after vowels, the vowel in bath and can't, the T in water, the O in hot. An American accent course will actively train you away from British sounds, and the other way round. Our British vs American accent guide lists every difference.
If you want American
BoldVoice is a strong choice. Video lessons from coaches are something Accent Lab doesn't offer, and its course adapts to your native language.
If you want British
Accent Lab is built only for Received Pronunciation: every sentence is read by a native British voice, and every score tells you how close you are to RP, down to the individual word.
