Help with accents

[JTBmum]

Hi, does anyone know any good resources ie Websites, CDs etc for improving accents, ie US or regional?

I've always found this one very useful:

I think the BBC may have useful archives too and of course there's always youtube, you can search for specific accents there. I find that a bit hit and miss though - I've come across a few where people have "demonstrated" accents on youtube and they have been painfully inaccurate!
