Is there a site out there that lets a British person learn American accent and other accents like Scottish through written pronunciation like

Sounds like you want to speak Deep South.

The Midwest has the purest form of speech in the whole world.

Id like to learn many accents. Or at least be able to recognise.

As a British person, I can tell if a person is from Scotland, Ireland, North East England, Liverpool and London.

I recognise some thick southern American accent from watching American TV shows but thats about it.

Main ones I can tell:

General American English (I think it's called) think TV accent (most people consider that neutral)
Minnesota
New Jersey
Southern
Chicago
New Yotk

The thick southern accent you hear on TV is fake as hell. I'm from the south and people don't normally talk like that.

why bother? people with british accents get favorable treatment in the us.

I've had people here in America ask me where I'm from because of my "accent". I'm FROM America. For some reason, they thought I was from some European country. I have no idea what the hell they were talking about.

Yeah I sometimes get asked the same because i am very aware of the local accent here in the rural areas and its not attractive. So i have a mix of the local accent and the standard BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) accent.
