Correctly, like an Englishman.

You do realize that the English accent is a modern aberration, and 200 years ago, the English sounded more like their American cousins, than the English of today. Americans didn’t lose their English accent, because they never had one. It was the English that altered their accent, post-colonization.

If you want to correctly speak Shakespeare’s words, it should be done with an American accent.

If you travel north of Eden-burg be sure to visit Lock Fighty near Ouwck-ter-muck-tie by way of Kir-call-die.

You do realise that you are talking to someone from the North-East of England, where the local dialect is closer to the English that Chaucer spoke than modern English (either UK or American)? I think @GilbertWham wins at the English Language Purity contest.
