abjecton··on When did Americans lose their British accents?
Original pronunciation Shakespeare is a good example of this. It's performed with the sorts of accents people had in 16th/17th century England.

To my ear as an English person, it sounds like a Westcountry accent, an example of an English accent which is still rhotic today. But other people might perceive it as being slightly American or Irish sounding.
