Does the American accent or British accent sound better? - monyet.cc

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 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.

Maybe I’m biased because I have a Kiwi accent, but I choose American.

I love Kiwi accents. What’s your favorite American accent?

Western. It almost feels cinematic. British accents just sound like someone is trying to speak tightly.

I thought being in America long enough would change my accent, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’ve been raising my kid in England since about 3 years old and he sounds more American than me.

I think my favorite Anglophone accent might be the Canadian ones in Letterkenny. Distinctive but subtle.
