Maybe I’m biased bc I’m American and not Australian but unless you’re American faking a different kind of American accent nobody is good at doing a fake American accent even as a parody. Like even when it isn’t supposed to be believable it’s just for a joke ppl cannot manage to sound American. The R is difficult bc our R pronunciation is fairly rare. But also like, the roundness of vowels and the lexicon itself.

I think American is harder because there’s a ton of massively different dialects just within small areas, let alone the whole country, so often when people are trying to fake an American accent it just sounds like a mix of several

Voted American but I think it could just be due to bias. I imagine Australians think our impressions of them are bad too.

Have you heard Canadians try to imitate a NYC accent? Australians kinda tricky, sure, but anyone trying to do a believable Boston accent just comes out sounding like a 1950’s mobster from the Bronx

I think Australian has more of a niche sound to it - a lot of people around the world watch American media so the accent is more accessible to recreate. But, for example, I once saw a creator from New Zealand make fun of someone for mistaking a New Zealand accent for an Australian one (to them the difference was clearly obvious) and I can’t hear the difference at all
