Here is the actual recording… How is my accent?
Author: admin // Category: sound recording londonOk, so here it is. I recorded me speaking with my London accent, and lets just hope that the link worked this time!
I have been working on the accent for about 3 years. I want your honest opinions on how I can improve on it and make it sound more authentic. Please listen and tell me what you think. All I want is opinions on how to improve the accent. Do you think it is a decent attempt at a London accent, or is it absolutely beastly? Please give your honest opinion. I just need to know how to improve on the accent. Thank you for all your help! Cheers!

Ok, well IDK how I really learned. I watch Monty Python a lot, and I love Harry Potter and that sort of thing, but IDK. I have a few British relatives and friends, but it seems like the accent was just always there in the back of my head…. I wouldn't know how to teach it. Try talking with dark vowels. And try to concentrate the sound of your voice more toward the front of your mouth and lips, rather than how you speak "American" now with the sound in the middle of your mouth. Does that make any sence whatsoever?
well i'm not british, but many of my friends are. The accent I think doesn't sound like you lived there. But it doesn't sound like you are learning. It sounds like you have an accent and you are trying to hide it, but doing a pretty bad job, whinch is good, considering it is the opposite way around.
It's better than mine 
BTW I love your vocabulary!!

Why don't you just be yourself. Being English is about having more than a accent.

it's quite good, actually! i didn't listen to all of it, but from the half that i did, it was a decent accent!! if you go to london and fully immerse yourself in the english accent, so to speak, it will probably come even more naturally!! keep up the great work!
