Soften your consonants, especially t, d, and r
Make the r sound clear and slightly rolled or tapped
Keep vowels short and bright
Raise the tongue a bit for front vowels like in “bit” and “bed”
Let “th” often sound closer to t or d in casual speech
Drop the “g” in -ing endings for a lighter sound
Use a musical rhythm with varied pitch
Stress words naturally but with a lilting cadence
Keep the mouth relaxed and movements small
Listen to native speakers and imitate their timing and melody
