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).

      I’d say Austrian is better. Who doesn’t want to sound like Shwarzenegger?

        Man I recently met a beautiful Tanzanian woman who had an amazingly beautiful accent when she spoke English. It sounded regal and dignified. I had a huge crush. Kenyan accents are great too. I think we focus too much on western accents

          I agree that African accents can be awesome. I’m pretty ignorant of regional accent or if they are more of a national accent but growing up I had a buddy from Zimbabwe who’s parents had an amazing accent when speaking English.
