Is there any quick trick or tips to get the accent??

To get a perfect British accent I can highly recommend the British accent series of Papa Teach Me (on YouTube) to get a British accent. (For reference I have an American accent and I’ve been learning the British accent for auditions.) His videos are actually catered toward people whose first language isn’t English so I think you’ll benefit more with the way it’s explained.

1) There is no singular American or British accent. Hell, even a very small country like Ireland has multiple regional accents. 2) If you want to sound more natural or develop a native-sounding accent just watch lots of tv/movies in that language and try to imitate what the characters say. 3) English sounds awesome when spoken in a lot of foreign accents. At least in the USA we’ll think you sound cool

What’s the quick trick or tip to get the singular accent that your native language apparently has?

As an American, 99.9% of the time, no one pays attention to accents unless it is incredibly hard to understand you. I would not worry about accents as much as your vocabulary or grammar. Regarding accents tho, maybe you can pick a celebrity that has the accent you like and try to mimic them(?). Are there any celebrities you like the voice of?

Honestly, no. That's not the way language acquisition works.

It's really hard to sound like a native speaker if you didn't learn the language at a very young age, especially if you don't live in an English speaking country. Learning the phonology of English might help (become familiar with the sounds of English, maybe learn the IPA, practice using minimal pairs). It all comes down to practice and exposure. It's hard to practice something you don't have a model for, though. Also, having an accent isn't all there is to sounding natural. Personally, I'm quite ok knowing I'll never sound like a native speaker because I'm not one. I'm content knowing my English is good enough to make myself understood.

Not tricks, per se. But accent is the easiest to improve with proper training. I've seen trainees improve within weeks and neutralize their accents after a few months. After half a year, they can confidently talk to customers and clients.

There is no “the accent”. America is absolutely massive and has a different accent for every single place. A New Yorker sounds different from someone from the south, and they both sound different from someone in the Midwest. I’m not British so I can’t speak on the British accents, but I know it’s similar there too. I would suggest surrounding yourself with people/media who speak English natively, and try to copy them. You may want to record yourself speaking and compare it to other native speakers so you can see where your accent is particularly strong.

Practice speaking every single chance you get. There is no better way to speak clearly and confidently than regular practice. If possible, find someone who you can speak with regularly.

Don't worry about not sounding like a native speaker - only non-native speakers even care about this. Most English speakers are used to hearing English spoken with different accents. Anyone who is going to give you a hard time about it is not worth concerning yourself with. You may never have a native accent. If you do develop one, it will come naturally, after many years of speaking English. And it doesn't seem likely, assuming you're already an adult, that you will ever completely lose your own accent. If you can understand everything people say to you and if you can make yourself easily understood as well, then you're doing exceedingly well already. That's all that can be reasonably expected of you.

pimsleur could definitely help, and watching TV from the region your most interested in

What accent? There are hundreds of accents which native speakers use.

Depending on what your mother tongue is, it is indeed more difficult to lose the “heavier accent”, I believe that's what you're talking about, right? If that's what you're talking about, the tip is more boring, obvious, but also the most effective: repeat a lot to yourself, listen to the same phrases several times and try to repeat them as literally as possible. But if, on the other hand, you're talking about COMPLETELY ELIMINATING the accent, that's very unlikely and honestly, not desirable. The accent gives charm to someone who speaks a language other than their native one. I myself am not a native English speaker and my English teacher, who is a native speaker, says that my accent is nice and doesn't interfere with communication at all. In other words, try to speak clearly in a way that doesn't get in the way of communication, but don't try to eliminate your accent completely, after all, the accent is also part of your story.

Why would you want to sound like a native speaker if you're not one?

i picked it up from the internet, with videos and music. if you can’t i wouldn’t stress myself out over it, the important thing is that you speak correctly. you don’t *have to*, but if you just like the accent you can keep trying and see for yourself

There is nothing quick. Years of careful attention and fine tuning. Most people don't get rid of the accent of their native language. And really, it's an impressive but extremely useless goal. As long as you're easily understood, there's nothing wrong with having a non native accent. English has TONS of non native speakers, so it doesn't even really impede you from blending in that much.

I believe it all depends on your mother tongue. I'm from Indonesia, my national language doesn't have that thick of an accent compared to many languages out there (even considered as the easiest language to learn in Asia). Because of that, I have mastered multiple accents from different languages. When it comes about English, we usually adopting American accents (either Californian or Midwestern).

Watch and and emulate newscasters on any mainstream, major U.S. network (ABC, CBS, NBC).

Use hoagie, wudder, beggle, and robutt as your accent touchstones

To sound black American: Say "shiiiiiiiii.." it's shit without the t with alot of i's. This works as a response to any comment.
