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).
▪︎ British accent sounds more “proper and elegant”
Ah yes the elegant accent of Enfield or Redcar
Be you there’s nothing worse than someone trying to be something they’re not. It causes instant mistrust when you know someone isn’t being themselves
