Hii=)

Ok, well, I have ALWAYS loved brittish/english/Austrailian(any of those) accents.
But never really spoke it.
How can I get the accent, without taking speech classes?

You really need a dialect teacher. You need a book called Stage Dialects by Jerry Blunt (Only the first one, not More Stage Dialects which is no good) It is the best book on dialects ever. If you need help with it after you get it, probably the best source is bookfinder.com, get in touch and I'll help. This book got me a nice film role once.

-Well, you could watch foreign films.
-Listen to imported music.
-Come into contact with people of these accents (maybe there are clubs at school or in the community).
-Travel to these places.

Or as you stated, actually take speech classes!

Your call, good luck!

copy stereotypes in movies when its such a stereotype, it should be easy. The more you hear it the more you can mimic it... just like a bird!
