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).

    Go Transatlantic American accent. It’s the most clear and the least accent-y accent.

      I find it to be fairly accent-y and very clipped.

      It’s nice in old movies, but it’s extremely dated.

      It literally isn’t the accenty accent. It’s just a made up one that picks attributes from a handful of dialects, making it hard to “place.”
