There are many reasons why people who speak another language want to improve their accents.
See if these are some of your reasons:
1) People can't exactly get your point sometimes. It seems like you have to repeat yourself several times. Even then, you are not sure if your message was completely successful. You end up sending an email just to clarify.
2) Even though you might not care what others think of you, something about the way you speak affects your confidence. You feel that if you could just pronounce English more correctly, you would feel better about yourself. It's like buying a new pair of shoes. You would shine!
3) You feel that if you spoke more eloquently, or more like a native speaker, you would be offered better job roles, leading to more career advancement. Like it or not, the more you can fit into your company or industry's culture, the more you will rise to the top!
4) You just want to perfect some problem areas. You always pronounce a certain word incorrectly, so you want to learn the rules or just the correct way to pronounce it. It is a personal achievement to say that you have accomplished correct pronunciation.
