I feel the same about American accents. Sometimes they talk so fast, fail to annunciate and it sounds like they have something in their mouths.

I'm a Brit living in Australia.

I have the same problem with many American movie actors, and I'm an American. Watch a movie from the 1940s. There was a standard of enunciation that seems to have disappeared. But there are plenty of exceptions, actors who take that part of their craft seriously: James Spader for example. Every word of every whisper is easily understood.

> fail to annunciate

I think you mean "enunciate".
