I see alot of people posting about regional accents.
As a kid in Cali I was sent to speech therapy, after several sessions I was told I just have an accemt.
Some pronunciations I use:
Hunnerd for hundred
Reh-guh-late for regulate
Worsh for wash
GIH-tar for guitar
COTT-inn and BUTT-inn for cotton and button
Mag-inn-itt for magnet
Torr-NAY-duh for tornado
Tuh-MAY-duh for tomato
Trash sounds almost like tray-ash
Roof the "oo"s sound just like book
Mary, merry, marry sound the same and rhyme with berry, bury, Barry.
But higher/hire are very different. It's closer to HIGH-yer vs hy-YURR
Hard "g"s at the end of words are mostly nonexistent for me.
Rural is like rrrrurrrulllll
Brown is like browwwnnn
Happy to reply to comments with more info
