I grew up with a thick Australian accent with a drawl I dislike, and have been consciously trying to change it for a while. The problem is I tried to make it sound more American at first but keep getting drawn to speaking “Britishly”. Now it’s a Frankenstein of all 3 accents and I don’t know what to go with.

Some points for both:

▪︎ American accent sounds “cooler”

▪︎ British accent sounds more “proper and elegant”

  • Australian accent sounds more “relaxed” (but I dislike this for myself, personally).
  • Endorkend

    I take what you mean with “American accent” being the accent they use on US Television in shows and most news?

    Because there’s a hell of a lot of regional accents in both Britain and the US and various ones in both sounds stupid while others sound sophisticated.

    Looking at you Scousers and Southerners.
