There are lots of British accents. But if you go to the BBC website (http://www.bbc.co.uk) and listen to radio 4, this is great for the most well-known British accent, called "Received Pronunciation". The BBC also has a Voices section (just search for it) devoted entirely to different British accents with lots of samples.

That was me a couple years ago where I had to do the same thing. The thing that worked for me was watching british tv on cable or renting books on tape where the reader is british (I would use the Harry Potter series read by Jim Dale) I found the best way is to constantly hear the british accent, and then repeat what they say. Good Luck, and break a leg!

There are very many different accents in Britain, depending on the area the person is from...just like in America. What type of British accent are you trying to achieve??

Well I think that BBC is one of the best places to better your accent. I would also get a whole bunch of british movies like monty python movies, those really help too.I don't think you'll find a website but TV and movies definetly help....
What play are you doing?

harry potter, delight and prejudice, bridget jones diary, sweeney todd, charlie and the chocolate production unit, love surely, pirates of the caribbean (even if Depp makes use of a more beneficial cockney accent) merely to call some video clips... attempt to pause the films and repeat certain strains -- mimicry -- and pay interest to the way the mouth strikes that's continually exciting to be certain how the moves determination subtly or appreciably leaping from diverse languages desire this enables :] playstation : youtube would help you so a concepts as audio is worried and also you'll locate clips from all of those video clips positioned there

Check out Monty Python, they are really funny and have great accents for you to imitate and learn. I recommend "the Holy Grail" or "Life of Brian"
