A dialect coach, Andrew Jack, gives a tour of the accents of the British Isles.This is a really neat example of various British accents, especially since they’re all done by the same person so you can really concentrate on the accent features. To my Canadian ears, it sounded pretty accurate, and I’d assume the BBC would know what they’re doing, but I’d be interested to hear from anyone with one of these accents for how well you think it’s done.
Another, broader example is Amy Walker’s 21 Accents video, although as a Canadian I do have to point out that her Canadian accent is representative of only a very particular subset of Canadians.
