All those BBC Newsreaders etc etc who have been softening their accent for years are now returning to heavy regional accents.

Re: Elocution Lessons wanted
Big decision to be honest but all my clients are Asian and difficult to understand me when I am giving advice, easier for me to learn to speak slower and more clearly.
I don't intend to lose my accent just be Able to enunciate clearly.
Any help would be appreciated

No need for elocution lessons. Just add -lah to random words within every sentence and you will be understood perfectly.

You'll sound like the Queen in no time! But then has the Queen become frightfully common?

I suggest asking The British Council (Malaysia) to point you in the direction of a private tutor.

sadly the British Council only provide English language courses as in reading and writing and conversation which is no help to me. Think I need to find a specialist.

A speech pahologist specialising in accent reduction should be able to help. Telehealth (Skype) is possible, so that might help your search?
