Want to hear different accents?

A lot of the speakers are way too fluent though. I would have liked to have heard thicker accents. And I'm slightly disappointed that they don't have different accents of English speakers on file (Australia, US, etc).

Sorry for all the linguistics-related posts people, this is what happens when I start trying to do my linguistics essay - I get caught up in all these tangents that are *way* more interesting than my essay topic
