Erasing your regional accent probably goes a long way. I have a pretty strong Maine accent and it’s hard to suppress. I don’t think I could fake a true bourgeoisie affect though, partly because I find it so repulsive. But also I think you have to have had grown adults as your personal servants as I a child to really nail that sort of bored/unconcerned affect. Where you truly consider certain people to be beneath you. They see you as an NPC. I’ve seen it, a handful of times. I guess there’s a professional class in between too where the attitude is in between, you treat people with a friendliness that doesn’t seem superior, but also is guiltless and free of guile, lacking in any suspiciousness which speaks of a person who has never truly been hungry and not had food, or has considered breaking the law as their best option, or lived in an area where there was a lot of crime. I don’t know why all that comes out in your speech but it does. Truly lower class people are reserved- they don’t volunteer information, because they don’t trust you. Upper class people don’t either, because they don’t have to care what you think, and they don’t consider you an equal. In between, people tend to be more talkative.
