Accent training

Hi, I've joined an accent neutralization course here in my country. The course is pretty expensive and can be customized as well. So i'd like to take words of recommendations from the English Forum members on what sort of customization I should ask for? Few points I've decided to demand includes, training on specifically UK accent (as English Literature originates from Britain), training on Phonetics (reading words from the dictionary), combining two words (Like "Want to" to "Wanna": I'm not sure if these things are just colloquial), the sound pattern and pitch (High and low while making some sentence), and sentence compression (like everyday dialogues). Need more ideas on what I should demand for. Please help or suggest be a better approach.

I commend you on wanting to do this. Can't add any new ones for you, but can say "wanna" is not a real word, it is how some people say "want to" and if you are writing a dialogue to represent how someone spoke that way, you would write "wanna". Do not use it in correct English though.
