Music mogul Simon Cowell will play his son tapes of his voice so he doesn't pick up an American accent.
The 'X Factor' boss, whose girlfriend Lauren Silverman is expecting their first child in February, says he is keen for his son to have a British accent like his father and not speak like his New York socialite mother, reported E! oline.
"I want the child's first words to be 'Hello, Simon...'' and not, 'Hi, Simon'," Cowell said.
