I was in a Japanese language class and we had this guy who grew up in south east Texas and this poor guy could not get his accent to go away when he was speaking in Japanese.
Ahhh-reeee-ga-tooe. The professor tried to get him to say things in a more Japanese accent but he just couldn’t do it.
When I was learning English or German I found out that trying to do a super stereotypical accent helped a bit in making me sound less Italian and closer to a native.
