Everybody has an accent. Even should you assume you don’t, you do. If you assume you don’t have an accent since you sound precisely like the “default” American accent used by newscasters and such, you continue to have an accent: the General American accent, as it’s known as. And the General American accent is (or was, anyway) a regional accent, developing in parts of the Midwest.
Decades in the past, the default accent utilized in films and through radio announcers was the Transatlantic Accent, or on occasion the Mid-Atlantic Accent, in line with The Intrepid Guide. But here’s the thing about that particular accent: it isn't “actual.” Accents expand naturally among other folks dwelling and dealing together, in step with Scientific American. The Transatlantic Accent, on the other hand, used to be in particular constructed from the floor up and taught to schoolchildren (particularly, youngsters at snooty boarding schools). It was once supposed to represent the “very best” of the American and British accents — representing elegance and dignity — whilst now not favoring either of them. As such, it changed into the default accent utilized by radio announcers and, as it pertains to Grace Kelly, actors on the screen.
Kelly’s natural accent used to be probably a Philadelphia accent since that’s where she was born and raised, consistent with Britannica. But once she got into acting, she used the Transatlantic, and he or she stored it whenever she spoke to the cameras (it pays to stay in persona).
