As a native speaker, I could tell right away that the second woman was the native speaker. I think it's a lot harder to tell when someone isn't a native English speaker (and it's the same for most languages I assume?) when they've chosen a specific accent and worked hard to really nail it, because at that point you only really have grammar or syntax to go by, and native English speakers butcher our own grammar all the time so even that becomes a dodgy method lmao.

That's so interesting because as an Aussie, I was convinced the American was pretending to be English! 🤷♀️
But obviously the accent is my native, so I'm very familiar with it. Some of her pronounciations and intonations were English sounding.
For many words, Aussies usually say T's as a D /soft sound, like Americans do.
I saw an accent expert say recently that people less familiar with the Australian accent tend to hear it as an English accent because that accent is more familiar to them. And that's why it comes out that way when they try to do it. It's really not an easy one to do well 🙈.
Kate Winslet in "The Dressmaker" and Dev Patel in "Lion" were probably the best I've heard.

I imagine Shannon is how Tolkien imagined Galadriel to look like. And I now understand Gimli's pain when he has to leave Lothlorien, lamenting the fact that he has now seen that which is fairest in the world, and that nothing else will ever seem fair to him again by comparison. I finally get it. Poor Gimli, son of Gloin.
