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).

This is just my very biased opinion but if somebody has a US-american accent I immediately respect them less lol. It's an instinct.

    i think less of people that have biased thoughts when first meeting someone due to internal biases you arent self aware enough to absolve

    you sound like an NPC might u try connecting with your consciousness a bit? you seem too much like a news oriented reactionary.
