Comment on I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?

Maybe mention that you’re ‘taking lessons’ to change/Americanize your accent to the people you’re familiar with and then fairly rapidly incorporate your new dialect into your speech? This kinda changes something you may be embarrassed about into something more akin to learning a new language. I’m sure after a short bit, your new speech will just become normal sounding, and everyone will forget about the change.
