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).
  • El Barto

    Define better. What are you trying to achieve?

    I’ve always found the American accent quite cool.

    Now, let me say something I haven’t seen mentioned here: don’t change your accent. Be proud of it. Have you traveled to the UK or the US yet? If not, do it. You’ll find plenty of people finding you interesting and wanting to talk to you because of your accent.
