marcos Valle asked for suggestions to be sent directly to him.  However, he 
failed to include his email address.  So - sorry to bother the list, but 
the best I know of for individual work is Ann Cook's "American Accent 
Training: A Guide to Speaking and Pronouncing....." publised in 1991 by 
Barrons.  The book/cassette package is available from Amazon.com at $32, 
but we paid less when ordering directly at a TESOL convention.  

The concentration in this package is on the 'music' of Am. English - on 
linking and phrasing.  Anyone who's used Carolyn Graham or Linda Grant or 
Judy Gilbert's materials successfully in the classroom will like this 
package (I think) for individual work outside the classroom.  Best, Sue 
Sandeen
