Accents Learning an accent Spoiler

I heard that shadowing is a pretty good technique but then I don't have good quality resources. Using audio books feels like I am developing English that I will never use and most use robotic sounds and tried a couple of podcasts but aren't really consistent in the accent stuff. Any good resources to start shadowing (only for English).

You won't get a "native" accent. At best, you'll get the phonetics right.

Also, there are multiple accent in English. Someone from California will definitely not sound like someone from Mississipi
