you need to find a good dialect coach!. these are the people who professionally teach dialect to actors and singers!. you can also take the less-expensive routes and just listen to a ton of different people speaking in the dialects you are attempting to learn- this was how i acquired my british one and it worked fine- while i was in england, a gent asked to hear it and thought i was pretty good!. this isn't a flawless method and requires a good ear for language nuances, but it is something you can learn to listen for!.
