Reply to comment by DefiantStomp in TIL about foreign accent syndrome. This is a very rare (~100 cases worldwide) but real medical condition where people abruptly begin speaking in a foreign accent following head trauma like a bad migraine, accident, or stroke. by veety

Recently I've watched a lot of documentaries and videos with people speaking british english, and I now find myself speaking with an accent that is a mix of my usual voice and a british accent (I'm from Texas). Sometimes when I think out loud I just use a british voice. I have to prevent myself form embarrassing myself in front of family.

TBF, a fellow Brit imitating a Texican can be pretty embarrassing ... heavy on the "y'all", horses, hats and either "steers and queers" or "bushwackers".
