as an australian, the way that jack miller speaks to the press and other riders is so interesting to me. he curates his way of speaking depending on who he's addressing so that they can understand what he's saying. (jack does have a very broad aussie accent to begin with, so i understand why he has to change it when speaking to other people).
when he rode for ducati, jack noticeably softened his australian accent and changed his sentence structure so it was easier for italians to comprehend. in some videos (like the one below) i honestly find it hard to tell the difference between jack and pecco’s voices without seeing who is speaking.

and now that he’s at ktm, he’s reverted to his natural accent (which sounds wayyy better coming from him imo) because brad is able to understand his speech. even though the australian and south african accents are quite different, jack and brad both speak fluent english so their sentences are structured the same. in the video below brad can easily comprehend what jack’s saying despite his strong accent.

finally, in the video below jack only slighty changes his accent when speaking to the english interviewer, but when he starts talking to maverick, he also alters his pronunciation and sentence structure so it's easier for mav to understand. i don't know how noticeable this difference is for non australians, but for me it's extremely obvious the way that jack changes his manner of speaking depending on who the conversation is with.
