It's not just the accent, I wish people would make this differentiation more often. When someone has a completely different way of communicating due to cultural or upbringing reasons and happen to have an accent the thing to focus on here is not the accent. Arnold Schwarzenegger has one of the thickest accents you can find yet he's also one of the most easily comprehensible human beings ever lived.
Funny you should mention Arnold Schwarzenegger. Despite him being a native speaker of (Austrian) German, his voice is dubbed in German by a voice actor because of his non-neutral accent.
Don’t you typically do that with Austrian accents anyway since they can sound very different?
