There is a recording of a recent talk by David Crystal, where he gives a brief example of Shakespeare's pronunciation as compared with the British received pronunciation. He also makes a point that the rhotic pronunciation of Shakespeare's time is closer to today's American, and that some sounds typical of Shakespeare's pronunciation are now characteristic of regional dialects, including Westcountry, Yorkshire and Wales. https://youtu.be/8ErWLOD_udY?t=2429 https://youtu.be/8ErWLOD_udY?t=2429 (Crystal, of course, being the linguist who worked on the reconstruction of Shakespeare's pronunciation, and consulted The Globe on it)
