How to Speak With an Australian Accent :

Focus on the vowels. These are the most important part of having a realistic Aussie accent. Words should always have the emphasis on the vowels (with few exceptions). All other parts of the sentence should almost be glossed over as far as learning the accent. In this case, the vowel will be listed, then the pronunciation (with sample American words to emphasize the sound) and then an example of how a word should sound in an Australian accent.

A sounds like “or” or “ayee” (AUtomatic or stAY) For example, Aussie sounds like “Or-zie” and mate sounds like “M-ayee-t”

E sounds like “er-ee” without pronouncing the r (knEEling) For example, Need sounds like “Ner-ee-d”

I sounds like “ear” or “eye” (pIErce or mIght) For example, irresponsible sounds like “ear-re-spon-sbl” and Hide sounds like “H-eye-d”

O sounds like “ew” or “aw” (shOO or OUght) For example, shoot sounds like “sh-ew-t”

U sounds like “uh” (rOUgh) For example, suppose sounds like “sugh-p-oh-s”
