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).
There’s no one single British or American accent. Liverpool? Florida? Newcastle? Manchester? New York. Even within these places there’s different accents.
Dont worry about that. OP is trying to change their accent.
I doubt they have given much thought to region or dialect.
There’s not one single Australian accent either. Broadly speaking, there’s three of them.
