I like to speak in an old timey movie gangster accent ya see.
Somebody needs to speak the extinct Hollywood transatlantic accent. I've found that some US celebrities still seem to have it
Lets start an ESL school that only teaches the transatlantic accent and see if we can revive it.

How about Northside Dubliners picking a Dub Southside accent to sound posher, or Southsiders picking a Northside Dub accent to sound more gangsta? It's an actual thing. ^^
Speaking of Irish accents! First time I heard someone with a Cork accent I lost my shit. It sounds exactly like a Scanian (Southern Sweden) person speaking with an Irish accent. It's delightful.

America - normal
Australia - wildcard

I'd mix everything just for kicks :)
I'm not even aware of what my accent sounds like. Probably a weird amalgamation of everything.
Definitely not the Australian . my jaw will break and my vocal cords will wear out at an early age.
Why did you train so badly?!
I've done so many accents at this point I don't even know what my real accent is anymore, but people always think I'm actually from New York or New Jersey until I start talking.
USdefaultism of this post should be used in The International Bureau of Weights and Measures as the metrics for all other USdefaultisms.
333 million Americans, 67 million Brits, 26 million Australians.
1.4 billion Indians. So what?
They're talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
