From time to time you'll need to explore other languages and accents if you want to be as skilled as your competition as an actor. Accents are crucial when creating the illusion you actually speak another way than you do right now. Study and surround yourself with the accent. Immerse yourself in films, TV shows, social media videos, radio, podcasts, and anything you can to truly get a feel for each accent.
The online International Dialects of English archive can be a great resource to delve into accents, their sounds, and nuances that you'll need to master for credibility.
Practice and repeat. The more time you take practicing accents, the better you’ll be. Practice daily to make an unfamiliar accent feel instinctive—and don’t be afraid to work with a vocal or dialect coach.
