1. You have to keep it neutral, that means your accent should be neutral without fake accent 2. Watch for the choice of words - do not use too complicated or fancy words which might be jargon for others. 3. Pace your speech well. 4. Keep it simple and crisp.

I would say do not try to learn accents which don't come to you naturally but if you really want to learn the specific accent, for instance, British accent, then use phrases they use the most. All the best!
