Wow. Thanks for all the replies. I go away and suddenly there's 14 responses. Cool! @Jason Yep, The "icon" piece was the one I was most concerned with since that wasn't supposed to be a full-blown American accent but something softer and more in-between. But boy, "suburb" and "modern". I'm still shaking my head at those. Both very subtle differences, but once heard cannot be unheard.

What is considered "in between?" A Brit trying to sound American or an American trying to sound British? Smile

I think you do a great American accent. I have a couple times jumped on YouTube and listened to Brits (untrained and poorly) trying to do an American accent. It is always good for a laugh. I'm sure you'd have a similar laugh if I did my British accent Smile

This is VERY good. The lack of r on modern doesn't bother me at all. Sounds just a hair lazy rather than British. Suburb does need the r, but to be honest I might not have noticed had it not been pointed out.
I do hear 'time' 'icon' and 'track' in the last piece. Though what I hear is the I rather than the cawn. And it's the A in track that I hear. American I's and A's are a bit more .... open - if that makes sense

You said you were going a bit more Brit in the last piece. Go just a bit farther and call it Mid-Atlantic. Which is neither here nor there.
