Go for Glaswegian instead.

Me, I feel the best accent to have is the New Hampshire one. Nothing says unfazable like the N’Englandah dialect.

Is there an accent that’s more imitable than the British one?

Which one though? Any time a non-brit talks about “British accents” i just assume they mean some sort of vaguely cockney variation.

You fell into Devin’s trap:

@dnealy

The sophisticated members of the audience are probably saying, “sure, the British accent is awesome, but which one do you mean? There are several.” That’s a fair observation.

Americans just want Received Pronunciation as spoken by a ten-year-old with a concussion, damn it!
