I know these methods:
Idahosa Ness' The Mimic Method
Laurence Hilton's Reverse Accent Mimicry
I don't know about any others.
Can you recommend something?
Oh, by the way. The method should be target language independent.
P. S. About me. I am an Ukrainian dreaming of being a polyglot (in Benny Lewis's steps).

Hi Roman Shinkarenko,

I believe that whatever methods you see, reducing an accent has to start with the basics.

These include: Pronunciation + Word Stress + Intonation + Rhythm.

They are the foundation of an accent, or any accents, from I've known (please tell me if I miss out something)

The methods that you've mentioned are simply ways to learn these specific components of accent in different manners.
