Why does British English sound like absolute shit?

>>59303691
Because it's the real degenerative form of english

American english is the more traditional form.

It really isn't though. That was a myth perpetuated by the AIDF
Accents have existed in the UK for hundreds of years but over time have become weaker and closer to each other.
American English is similar to the Cornish and South Western Irish, but it is a whole different world from the Geordie and Scouse accents

Mostly refering to RP, but the thing you did in the other recording was also grating. The non-rothicity and dropping of random sounds just makes me think i have a stroke. Scots is heaven on earth though.

The second recording was my normal accent.
I was trying to do an exaggerated version of my accent in the first one, but after recording it I don't really think it was that exaggerated.

I picked up a bit of a rhotic accent when I moved from the south of England to the North where it's a bit rhotic, but I eventually dropped.
