[@TayoEXE]

The fact that I am American and hear both other accents and still understand what they are saying is evidence of a specific fact of languages. Some sounds are clumped into similar groups naturally since there aren't equivalent words for the slight variations, so the variations sound like the same thing to us. Same goes for other English speakers. For example, if an American sounds like they are saying "Chree" instead of "Tree," well, there is no English word (that I know of) like that, so it just still sounds like "Tree" to a British or Australian for example. So yeah, as long as you are understandable, you are fine. It doesn't matter what slight variations you decide to use as long as the people you talk to can understand you where you live.

I’ve never been more self conscious about how I speak until this video. Emma has a more polished and enunciated accent than someone like me from the working class suburbs of western Sydney who speaks with a stronger accent and less enunciation. Australian accents do vary to a certain extent. Social class, education, upbringing, ethnicity, occupation and socioeconomic status all play a role in how we pronounce words. My wife from the Philippines says we swallow our words which is a very accurate description. I have been aware that my accent is different to British and American English but never realised how much we replace the letters such as “ch” and “d” for “t” and like “chewsday “ (Tuesday) and “boddle” (bottle) and sometimes we don’t use “t” at all such as “percennage” (percentage). Another thing is we tend to drop the “g” in words that end in “ing” such as come-en and gowen (coming and going). It would be interesting to see a video on the difference between how someone like Emma speaks and someone with my accent.

Her accent is not quite "standard American"; the most important metric of how you say stuff / what you call them is where you were raised, secondarily who you were raised by. It's a really large country, people in the San Francisco area don't talk quite like her, though you can tell her accent is U.S. The "t" in the middle of words here is more of a tongue flip than a full-on "d", but it's pretty far from the aspirated "t" you find at the start of many words. It can change depending on the word or what sound it's next to.

American English pronunciation largely depends on what region of the country where you were raised. There can be a huge variation between individual States. Where I'm from in Duty the T sound is clearly pronounced. In many areas of the US when a word ends in ING the G is often sharply suppressed or entirely silent. I suspect that's because of the large influx of Irish in the 19th Century. Irish accents, especially Northern Ireland, have that characteristic which seems to have passed on the regional US dialects. I don't know where Vanessa lives in the US but where I'm from we don't substitute D for T very often if at all. I'm in the Great Lakes region of the US specifically NE Ohio.

The pronunciation of the R is called rhoticity. It isn't all R's but it is the use of R's in certain situations. Most British accents are non-rhotic, but some are rhotic (West Country and Geordie are rhotic if I recall correctly). American accents tend to be rhotic, but a few major urban accents are not (Boston and some New York accents mostly). Scottish, Irish and Canadian English are generally rhotic. Australian and New Zealand English are generally non-rhotic. There might be a few minor regional accents that are exceptions but that's the basic trend.

[@magicalmystery1964]

I live in the US and you must understand that we have even more accents than the British Isles do. The South Carolina accent, the south in general, sound very different from the east coast and west coast. I was listening to Vanessa thinking ‘nope, that’s not how we pronounce it in Nevada’

English is my second language (though I've been using it far longer than my mother tongue by now) and I find British English far easier to understand than any other variety. It's the crispness of both the vowels and the consonants (those t's for example) that gives it a lovely clarity. To my ear, American English sounds somehow slurred, a little "muddy" in contrast. Of course, the British English variety I have in mind is the RP type, exemplified by Lucy's speech. Regional accents can throw me for a loop! Btw, I learned British English first and acquired an RP accent. After 40+ years of living in Canada, people often take me for a South African! 😂

From the US here. I will usually pronounce the ‘t’ sound in interview, but it is not enunciated. More like a half silent t. If you do not have it at all, that’s incorrect from the parts of the US that I am from. However, there are certain words that you can drop the t sound and still be correct like words such as “often”.
