the accent is classic to voice coaching/elocution lessons where there is usually an attempt to neutralize the accent to remove the slangy expressions and abbreviations. Note the slow delivery every sentence delivered with thought and attention. Also standard i spoke like that for ages after mine after a while it does begin to sound normal but for me it took years. Her later interviews in Australia she sounds more normal but markedly different to her aus family though that is not strange as aussies often lose their accents easily and tend to adapt to the people that they are speaking with.
