Accent Challenge!

Here's my recording: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1oprSyWLZXb

I enunciate my 't' sounds more than most other Australians, so some people think I sound British because of it (especially Americans). The more casually I speak, though, the more they become 'd' sounds which is a lot more common. I also do the weird Aussie thing where you never enunciate the 'r' sound unless a vowel comes after it, making a schwa ('ə') sound instead. A schwa sounds kinda like 'uh'.

I was going to write them all out in IPA but cbs.

The more casual, the less self-regulating and the closer you get to the true accent. That's the one downside of the list format: we're all paying really close attention to how we're saying it, so high self-regulating. The most telling sound bytes here are the rambling chatter parts.
