David and Victoria Beckham keen to improve speech for US audiences
LA Galaxy star David Beckham and wife Victoria are undertaking elocution lessons in a bid to soften their accents for US audiences.
The pair are keen to boost their showbiz careers and have begun to alter the way they speak so American audiences can understand them more clearly.
A source said: “David is quite keen to move into TV work when he finally retires, probably after the next World Cup. He’s got the looks and the knowledge, but knows his voice needs work.
“Victoria has also been keen to live up to her name and speak more properly.
“She knows she has a very thick British accent and is sometimes misunderstood in America.
“She knows being British can be an asset in the States, but not if the Yanks cannot understand what your talking about.”
