I found a fun article in The Sydney Morning Herald about Australian actors mastering the American accent and the difficulties of it. Katherine Hopwood-Poulsen, a vocal coach discusses the finer points and gives Rose straight A’s because she makes it so effortless.

Here is her comments about Rose:

Rose Byrne
10/10
She grew up in Balmain, Sydney, but Rose Byrne makes the American accent sound effortless in the legal drama Damages. Performing opposite Glenn Close, she plays Ellen Parsons, a young lawyer working for a cutthroat litigator.
The dialogue is tight and snappy but Byrne manages with aplomb. ”There’s nothing bad I can say about that,” Hopwood-Poulsen says. ”Everything is there. The sounds, the connection to the thoughts and the placement in the mouth.”
Byrne is so relaxed that Hopwood-Poulsen believes she no longer has to think about the accent. ”Look at her,” she says. ”Not a trace of tension. The accent is so much a part of her you don’t even realise she’s doing one. Her focus is entirely on the character, the dialogue and the emotion.
”Learning an accent is like learning a dance. You have to learn the steps before you can have fun with it.”
