The issue is your ears and hearing. Some time between 11 - 14, you lose the ability to discriminate between sounds that you have not been exposed to. No hearing a difference means that you cannot imitate others and fix your own accent. With great time and practice, some people have been able to develop better pitch and sound recognition. This involves recording yourself and a "ground truth" and analyzing both via some signal processing tool. The result is then used to create the feedback loop needed to improve.

I'd have to disagree with that theory. People have a hard time figuring out where I'm from. I was in St Louis until age 19, then spent a year in Denver, a couple years in Maine, then Guam, Maine again then other places in the west. I traveled the world a lot along the way. I have a city Midwest accent mixed with the northeast Boston/Maine and a smidge of Spanish/Australia/pacific islander. My pattern depends somewhat on what phrases and words I'm saying.

Interesting considering Kamala Harris spent HS in Montreal :) I'll have to listen to her speak... but yes .. as a born and bred Montrealer my French is French.. even after 3 decades away... My English is tinged with French ... as in French names are pronounced French.. although English is my first language... Grandma on dad's side spoke only French and we lived with her for awhile when I was young.. Grandpa was Chinese but died before I was born... No Chinese in my accent :) L's and R's no problem LOL but I have a little Canto :)
