It wasn`t exactly a mistake, but if there`s anything I regret, it`s probably having disguised my own native accent. Actors of my generation all tended to speak RP (received pronunciation). Of course, it`s all different now and drama students are encouraged to keep their regional accents and be able to do RP when required. Even at the BBC these days there`s no standardised accent, and I rather think that`s a good thing.
