Stumble ThisA girl, who I believe *may* be named Amy and might be 25 years old (but don't quote me on that), does a pretty impressive job at cycling through different accents from around the world.

To the untrained ear, her affectations are so convincing due to her confidence, delivery, and good looks, and because most of the listeners have never been too far outside of a few hundred miles radius of where they grew up....
Great stuff....
One of the main difference between Aussie and NZ is NZ's pronunciation of "six" sounds a bit like "sex". That's why she used 26 instead of 25 I recon.

if you want to speak to the world, you have to speak like your audience
a more symmetrical *ollywood face helps too
There is another Charleston accent that's a bit more aristocratic. Jessica Tandy's accent in Driving Miss Daisy is a close approximate. She should rent that movie and watch it a bit.
