I've noticed there's an England dialect influencing some U.S English? Which state(s) are those people from?

Question

One example is Angelina Jolie,whom I find she speaks a little bit with British infuence.

Answer 1

Jolie was married to a Brit for five years; perhaps she picked it up from him. She grew up in New York and LA.

Answer 2

Boston New England areas....I'm from the mid west and I pronounce some words as if I were from England its just depends on where you live and who or what influences the people. If you have traveled a lot you use and pronounce English differently then someone who has not I find living in several states I have a different command of the English Language.

Answer 3

You definitely find a more proper English in the New England states, especially in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. I believe this is because many of the people from this area tend to be a bit more historic than in other areas since there is a lot of history. I also think that more wealthy, old world money comes from these areas, hence the better quality of language in general.

Answer 4

Anyone who travels extensively picks up words and pronunciations. For some reason they just feel right and immediately become part of your vocabulary. I use the word tellings a great deal of the time and get some "Huh" sounds and looks. I picked it up in Hong Kong.
